Lemon Crumb Bars....MMmmmmm

As promised...the yummy recipe for the Lemon Crumb Bars I served at my Hostess Club last night. ENJOY!

1 package (18-1/4oz) Lemon cake mix

1/2 cup cold butter

1 egg

2 cups crushed saltine crackers (approx. 50 crackers)

3 egg yolks

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup lemon juice

In a large mixing bowl, beat cake mix, butter and egg until crumbly. Stir in cracker crumbs; set aside 2 cups of the mixture for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, milk, and lemon juice. Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 20-25 minutes longer or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.

How Enchanting

This year I have been making up little gifts for my Hostesses. I have 2 Hostess Clubs that meet often and this is the gift for one of the hostesses. I kept with the theme of the project we are making. The previous post of the Halloween layout coordinates with the gift. I enjoy meeting with my groups and I want to reward them with special crafts. :)

MMmmmm Coffee!!

There is quite a bit of coffee involved for me and my crafts! I need at least 2 cups to jump start any creative juices! Hope you enjoy this fun card. This is the first time I have posted something stamped with nonCTMH product...It feels strange :)

Plant Some Smiles! September SOTM

I don't know, but I think that this is a stamp set that every stamper must have! It is just beautiful and the sayings are very inpirational. I used all CTMH product except the box is paper mache. You can pick these up at most craft stores. I wish my camera would pick up more of the detail, but some of the flowers are up on pop dots and there is prisma glitter on the trio of flowers. If you click on the picture, you can view it up closer. Thanks for taking a peek! :) The card on the left was a "lift" from fellow consultant Pam Klassen.

Happy Haunting

Normally I don't put my club projects on here before we meet, but I couldn't resist! I love how this layout turned out. Everything is CTMH except for the buttons. I did use my Cricut to cut out the title and the flourishes. This layout puts me in a fall/halloween mood...the weather here in Montana sure feels like it is right around the corner. Thanks for looking! :)
