OK. Here is my Gingerbread House layout again (with the bling added in now) since the "snow" melted apparently on the first attempt. That Dissolve option in PSE7 didn't quite work like I thought it would!
Thanks so much for helping Carol! Couldn't have fixed it without you!

52 Week Challenge #3 - 2010
Good Morning All....
"Let's talk the TALK & walk the WALK!"
Since the beginning of the new year we have all heard a lot of hipe and talk about budgets, diets, and keeping things simple so that we have more time for ourselves... So for today's challenge I couldn't resist the urge to design a color combo / recipe challenge that fit in all three categories and I think I did...
Budget - $2.50 per recipe
Diet - 100 calories or less per treat
Simple - 20 minutes start to finish
The Recipe that I chose for Today is a new recipe that I found on Kraft.com. I made them for the Youth Party last night and they were a big hit...
MELT chocolate in small saucepan on low heat, stirring occasionally. Place in small bowl; cool slightly. Meanwhile, drain cherries and thoroughly pat dry (I drained mine on paper towels over night).
MAKE indentation in each marshmallow with your finger, then insert 1 of the cherries into the hole, leaving 1/3 of the stem end of the cherry exposed. Using a fork to support the bottom of the marshmallow, dip the marshmallow into the chocolate, turning to evenly coat the cherry. Gently shake off excess chocolate. By doing it like the recipe says, you actually cover the whole cherry. I wanted mine to look like the picture (you know me... follow the picture, don't stop and read the recipe) Anyway, I dipped my marshmallow and placed it on the wax paper and while the choloclate was still wet I pushed the cheery in it... and voila'! They looked just like the picture.
PLACE on wax paper-covered baking sheet; cover. Refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes or until set. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
Okay... So my scrapping challenge to all of you today is to scrap a page, DPS or LO using the following color combo...
Chocolate (Brown) Red (Cherries)
White (Marshmellow)
And you get bonus points if you can stay with in the three topic categories...
Budget - $2.50 or less per page
Diets - Low on the embellishments / add exercise photos
Simple - complete page in 20 minutes or less
Here are some more pages from a couple weeks ago, they'll be on my blog later this week
what beautiful sweet pages

Here's mine for the Thursday challenge. I used the three listed colors (with just a tiny little touch of green) Used only two embellies, ribbon and punched out hearts and it probably cost less than the budget amount. I used one sheet of 12x12 cs and one sheet of DP the rest of my supplies including the ribbon were all scraps. TFL

LOL! It's not me Anavon! She hasn't been to my house in a while either.
I've been perusing the gallery. You gals are busy!!!
I've done two more pages (I think) but can't post till Monday.
I'm waiting very impatiently on TWO new kits (and neither of them have ANY required DT work so I can share whenever! lol) so I'll be getting very busy soon!!!
