FMS #42 ~ CFC #60 ~ DD #10

Happy Saturday!

A mojo miracle happens to all of us once in a while where you get a brain thaw (opposite of freeze, right?) and inspiration flows and the papers line up and the ink doesn't smear and the adhesive doesn't bunch up its panties and in 15 minutes or less, you have a card you actually really like.  It's like sky-diving!  Well, not that I would know.  That's not a very good analogy because I'm trying to describe something more along the lines of organic (or a word like that) and I think sky-diving would provoke more of a feeling of terror.

The three-challenge details are:

Freshly Made Sketches challenge #42 by the incredible Jennifer T.:

CAS-ual Fridays challenge #60, which is to use "text in your clean and simple design."

and

Dynamic Duos #10 ~ Bold and Sassy Colors, which this week are:

My triple-treat creation is:

My layers are a little fatter (I beg your pardon?) than the inspiration sketch, but I love that script text and wanted to show more of it.  I hope you check out the challenges and join in!

I forgot to show you something really decadent the other day when I mentioned brownies.  Check out this brownie pan:

Have you seen these, have one?  It's designed so that every single brownie has at least two edges!  (I need to make a "Why Didn't I Think Of That" board on my Pinterest and pin this.) I'm not a paid whatchacallit, but I'm spreading the brownie-batter word near and far.  This is genius, unless you happen to only like the middle brownies out of a pan of brownies.  That's just wrong. 

Also wrong is the Mister's constant whining about how the brownies are all gone.  And how quickly I jumped up and wrote "brownie mix (6)" on the grocery list.  I mean for baking when the twins are here, of course.  Right.  Uh-huh.

When I made them for the 4th, I used a store brand brownie mix, sprayed a little non-stick spray, and the pan cleaned up like a dream.  Bakes like a dream, too, with no overdone outside pieces and/or underdone inside pieces.  It's called "Baker's Edge" and Mrs. Google can help you find one.  It's not cheap, but it's worth it.

One more thing.  You know how you can pay more and get boxed brownie mix with Hershey's syrup in it?  Well, I thought, why can't I just add my own from the bottle in my fridge?  A bottle is always in my fridge.  It's on the government's approved list of "necessary staples" to keep on hand in the event of a new clear disaster.  So I added a little less oil and a couple of glops of syrup and . . . winner!  Sorry, Betty Crocker, but I love trumping multi-billion dollar corporations. 

Enjoy!  As always, thank you for stopping by to visit.  Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!
