Easy Triangular Treat Boxes

This is such a darling and easy box to make.  I got the directions from an awesome Stampin’ Up! demo in the UK, Pootles!  Here’s her box.

Isn’t it cute?  I followed Pootles directions, but put mine together without the overlapping showing.  Abby, my design consultant (otherwise known as my sweet daughter), thought the Birthday Bouquet DSP was so pretty and we should show as much of it as possible.

Here’s the link to Pootles directions.

I have some special cards for you today made by my sweet friend, Barb Sease.  The card above is a darling bunny card that Barb made for her granddaughter.  Barb was greatly inspired by a card on Pinterest made by Yvonne van Bruggen.

I love this sweet card that Barb made for me.

Please leave Barb a comment at the top of this post.  This is her first time to have any of her cards posted on the internet. I hope you’ll get to see more of her beautiful cards in the future!

We enjoyed our Easter service at church, went to the movie, Risen, and got to have yummy food and fun with our wonderful friends the Pollack and Knoff families.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Wildflower Fields and Protein Ball Recipe

I am on the Design Team at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and this week’s challenge is Inspired by a Quote.  Make sure you visit Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog to submit a project to this week’s challenge.  I love this quote from Isaiah.  We studied Isaiah in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) a couple years ago.  Next fall we are studying the book of John.  BSF is available all over the world.  If you’re interested, you should check the BSF website and see if there’s a class near you.

I used the PalsPaperArts sketch challenge to do the lay out of my card.

You can peek inside the card to see I added a strip of the DSP to dress it up.

I used a coordinating stamp from Flowering Fields to make the envelope cute.  Flowering Fields is one of the SAB sets which are free with every $50 order until March 31.

protein balls

Abby made a quadruple batch of protein balls (think healthy cookie dough balls) to take on our Colorado vacation.  Well, the protein balls were gone before we got across Nebraska.  We brought ingredients with us to make a double batch after we arrived in Colorado and those lasted a couple hours.  I thought you might like the recipe since they are so popular at my house.  The recipe came from my very good friend, Janene Pollack.

Chocolate Protein Balls

1 c. rolled oats

1/2 c. peanut butter ( I use Trader Joe’s 50% less salt peanuts and smash them in my VitaMix.  I don’t add any oil, just

smashed peanuts.   I keep my homemade peanut butter in a glass jar on the counter and it’s usually

gone within a week.  My kids like it better than store bought peanut butter.)

1/3 c. honey

1/4 c chopped dark chocolate

2 T. flax seeds

2 T. chia seeds

1 T chocolate protein powder or to taste

Stir all ingredients together in a bowl until evenly mixed.  Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 min.  scoop chilled mixture into balls.  Keep in refrigerator until serving.

Please let me know if you have any question or comments.  You can leave comments at the very beginning of this blog post.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
