Apple Spice cake in the house today!

Hi everyone! So much to share today from my house. Where to start?.... Had a most fabulous time yesterday at the Stamp Convention here in Sac-town. Saw lots and lots of my stamping friends (which is always the best part of the show) and maybe even made some new friends? I met some crazy gals from the bay area and maybe have a girl crush on them. We had such a good time laughing. The show was crowded and it was a really positive day. I didn't buy too much - I finally got my mitts on Latte Anya from The Greeting Farm and I'll be inking her up soon. A couple of other small things. I showed restraint.

It was kind of a bust football weekend... My Bears lost yesterday to USC and then the 49ers lots today. So, we won't talk football right now. Sigh.

I have had a recipe saved on my phone for about a week and thought I would try it out and share it with you. It's a recipe for apple spice cake and it was really easy to make! AND...so delicious! It tastes like Fall on a plate! (HERE IS THE RECIPE LINK)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I added just a dollop of cool whip with some nutmeg sprinkled on top! Made it just a bit sweeter and richer. Give this one a try for sure! You make it in a 9x13 pan so it's easy to cut into squares to share with a group.  

 

I also made a quick and simple card for today...a cute litle Hero Arts Owl and an adorable new thought bubble die from Kristina Werner's collection. I resisted the urge to add more to this one. I just like the cheerful green...and I left it the way it was!

 

 

 

I colored my little owl with my Copics and colored his tummy a few shades lighter to add some contrast. Isn't he fun?  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, now it's time for the Emmy Red Carpet to start and I'm going to hunker down and start working on my TE projects for October. You guys are going to love the new stuff next month. I think first I need to move a big orange cat off my work space! Toodles everyone! Have a great week!!

Yum, I think I have to try this cake and soon. Sadly I don't have a group event to use it for so I guess DH and I will have to eat the whole thing...... It looks worth it and maybe if we keep it in the fridge we can get it to last a bit.....

Sounds like a wonderful weekend, although I'm sorry about the football.........we won't talk about that, right? Glad you had such a great time at the stamp convention. I know how energizing it is to be in that environment. Good for you for showing restraint on the purchases. ;) I so want some of your spice cake. Will have to give that a try soon.
Your owl card is absolutely adorable! Fabulous coloring. Love the thought bubble. This is FAB!
