Tuesday Just Got Better!

It's Tuesday. And that's all I have to say.

Doesn't that sound boring? Like Really? Well I'm here to change all that. For the next couple of weeks I will be posting delicious treats every Tuesday. So Tuesday won't be just boring old Tuesday anymore, it'll be Treat Tuesday, so without further ado, welcome to my first edition of Treat Tuesday!



Hot Milk Butter Cupcakes

2 Eggs
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/8 tsp. Salt
1/2 Cup Milk
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Flour
4 Tbsp. Butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Sift all dry ingredients into a small mixing bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl beat eggs until thick and lemon colored. Slowly add sugar.  Fold in dry ingredients. Bring butter and milk to simmering point in a saucepan. Add to first mixture. Scoop into cupcake papers and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until done. This Recipe can also be used to make a cake. Just pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until done.

Scrapbooking

Well this evening I was scrapbooking, so I wanted to share a few pictures of what I'm working on. In September of 2009 we took a bunch of family (and a few individual) pictures.

 So here is my first two page spread.
 The first page is very plain. I used an 8x10 picture and gave it a border.
 I tore the border, giving it a not so bland look.
 The next page is more exciting. For some reason the cranberry ribbon is looking kind of orange.
I used lots of embellishments to make the title look important. I don't know if you can tell, but I wrote the date in the little oval thing on the ribbon.

 This is the next two page spread.
 And for the life of me I could not get this picture to upload the right way. It's funny because this picture was taken the right way, and I rotated it on my computer the right way... oh well, you'll just have to exercise your neck. This page is very plain, just a big brown bow to make it special. I crammed lots of the random pictures on here. And again, the paper is more cranberry colored than it appears in this picture, I just need to figure out how my new camera works or something...
 The next page is more interesting, partly because it features my adorable brothers, and partly because I put more stuff on it.

 The title.
 I did much simpler embellishments on this one, just some ribbon and and paper corners.

Well I hope you've enjoyed reading. I wanted to note, that in case your wondering what kind of supplies I use, I use mostly stampin' up (mostly because that's what we have. My mother sold it for several years, so we have quite a stash) but I also pick up a few things here or there from Wal-Mart or the local scrapbook store.
