Yes I'm Different was created by The Urban Fairy to honor her middle daughter who was diagnosed with ADHD not long ago...<br />
<br />
"With that in mind, and the thought of some other amazing
children I know, I created this collection. It's full of colors that she loves
and work well together. It's something that even she has enjoyed working with!
I filled it up with 53 'kid approved' elements and 10 'loved' papers! This is
hopefully a kit she and I {and you!} will go back to a million times!"<br />
<br />
It's available now at the <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_398&products_id=23595">Digital Scrapbook Studio </a>along with all its coordinating elements<br />

Check out a couple of the layouts that I made with this cute kit and some of the extras.<br />
<br />
This one is of a couple of pictures I took a few years ago of some artists painting on Cape Cod. I was just so taken with their paint pallets and the vibrant colors. <br />

It was a lot of fun for the kids and they had a hula hoop contest, limbo, a steel drum band, a large surf board for the kids to play on, facepainting AND FREE snow cones. The boys got their arms painted instead of their faces and of course Jack had to get a traffic cone. He LOVES to stack and unstack and restack those little traffic cones! And Greyson got a baseball surrounded by flames. Haha. Future southpaw hall of famer in training!! We also rented one of those 4 person bicycles which the kids really got a kick out of. They also wore (ill-fitting) helmets for the first time. HAAAAAA-et as Jack calls them. A fun day wa had by all!<br />
<br />
Used a lot of random elements on this one. This is how I USED to scrap: piece by piece and not using a coordinated kit <i>per se</i>. It can be fun to seach through my digital stash to find bits and pieces or just scroll through my stuff and see if anything pops out at me. I also used a layout I saw by joelsgirl on Sweet Shoppe Designs (I think she must be on the creative team of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #171717; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Kristin Cronin-Barrow and/or Zoe Pearn) as inspiration. </span></span><br />

Have you ever felt a little frustrated with something or someone and just wanted to SCREAM? I've been there. A lot. My recent level of frustration with my children and their apparent inability to pick up after themselves is what lead to this fun colored, frustrated kit! While leaning towards frustration, this kit can easily be used for every day pages! Included in this page kit are 65 elements and 8 12x12 papers.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
A great way to vent with out heads rolling! </div>

I have to admit that I struggled with this one. What the heck was I going to scrap with this one? Well along came Mother's Day and ALL I WANTED was a couple of cute pictures of me and the kids. Was that so much to ask? Well, yes, apparently to my two wiggly toddlers. Take a look at some of the shots my sister took of me and Jack...<br />

It's actually kind of comical. So my motto for this kit is "You scrap the good, you scrap the bad, you scrap them both and there you have the Scraps of Life, the Scraps of Life"...lol<br />

I met her (i'll just call her X for now..) at a women's grassroots networking group recently. X is a MaryKay professional and has commissioned me to help her put together a scrapbook for her best friend ("E") who is getting married in April 2014. They have known each other since they were 3 so they have a lot of history together. We had our first meeting last night and she gave me some great ideas for pages - including how they set up a little coffee cafe when they were kids which has blossomed into a dream of opening a real cafe. They also love Disney, traveling, their dogs, Sex in the City etc. This is going to be a really fun project and will probably even include a collage of some late 90's things like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Backstreet boys . I also scrapped one page for her of pictures from E's engagement party. I used The Urban Fairy's MyWay SpringFling for this page.<br />

X has also asked me to help her with a networking Portfolio of her clients for whom she has done MK makeovers. She is thinking of a page per client of before and after makeover picture as well as a short written section with the client's business contact info and perhaps a short bio or testimonial about the makeover etc. X envisions this not only as a portfolio of her work but also as a tool to connect her clients with potential clients for their own businesses. She loves to help connect people and i think this will be a neat project!jengardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023892601422180352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799016842072972794.post-3158201718042572013-05-04T10:00:00.002-04:002013-05-04T10:00:44.916-04:00What the heck is iNSD?It's TODAY!

Here is her adorable piece, that is available for free <a href="http://theurbanfairymilana.com/blog/2013/05/spring-fling-insd-blog-hop-freebie/">here</a> at The Urban Fairy's Blog!

I am so excited to share a couple of new layouts with you that I put together for the Tea Cup Memories Collab that the Urban Fairy just finished with Donna at Sweet Nothings. This picture is my absolute favorite. This is my sister hanging out in Paris near the "Tour Eiffel". <br />

Do you get a CSA basket of fresh veggies each week? Do you often have more than you can use before it goes bad? I was recently gifted a gob of basil and I needed to find some ideas of things to do with it before it tanked. Oh, and I am not really a pesto person. Here's what I did!<br />
<br />
Sautee zuchinni with basil and garlic and olive oil<br />
Make a Basil Simple Syrup<br />
Make basil extract<br />
Make a basil-infused olive Oil.<br />
<br />
The first is pretty self-explanatory. It was tasty, especially cold. It would be a great side salad for a summer picnic. <br />
<br />
Basil simple syrup is pretty easy. Chop up a half cup basil. Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a small pan and add basil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat just until the sugar dissolves and then take off heat. Let cool and strain into an airtight container. Store in the fridge. There are some great suggestions on what to do with basil simple syrup <a href="http://ohmyveggies.com/how-to-make-basil-simple-syrup-and-what-to-do-with-it/">here</a> at Oh My Veggies. I am having it in Strawberry lemonade as I type! <br />
<br />
Basil Extract is also pretty easy. I chopped up a cup of basil and added it to a glass jar that has a tight fitting lid (I used an old salsa jar). Add 3/4 cup vodka (you can also use grain alcohol). Cover jar with plastic wrap and screw on the cap. Shake to mix and store in a cool dark place for 4-6 weeks, shaking every couple of days. After this time period, strain out the herb and you will have basil extract. More information can be found <a href="http://mountainroseherbs.com/learn/extract.php">here</a> at Mountain Rose herbs.<br />
<br />
Basil-infused Olive oil is pretty straightforward. I hope to use this to make a basil salt scrub next week. Add 1/2 cup ripped or chopped basil to about 1 cup olive oil in a small pan. Warm the oil over medium heat but don't let it boil. Transfer to a glass jar and cover. Store in a cool dark place for a week and then strain out the herbs if desired. You can also find a similar recipe using garlic in addition to the basil <a href="http://www.bostonfoodandwhine.com/2010/07/25/how-to-make-basil-infused-olive-oil/">here</a> at Boston Food and Whine.<br />

I lived there from age 10 up until last year when my husband and I moved our family to southern california for his job. I am a devoted Pats fan and member of Red Sox nation. I have friends that run the Boston Marathon (and drink like fishes afterward) and we have partied on the sidelines of the marathon for many years, cheering on the runners while we sip tasty beverages. Seeing the events of yesterday unfold from so far away is heartbreaking and I wish I could be closer to help the city grieve and regroup. My thoughts go out to the wounded, the families of those who lost their lives and to those who witnessed such tragedy. Boston, you're my home....<br />
<br />
Now to hopefully make me feel better, The Urban Fairy released her A Little Beauty kit today. What a sweet little kit!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the kit. Only <a href="http://tinyurl.com/brs5xx8">$1.75 now at the Digital Scrapbooking Studio</a><br />

I feel like it's almost like cheating in that the template has taken all the creativity out of placement of certain features like the picture (s) and other elements. But recently I have had a couple of fun opportunities to play with some templates and they can actually be quite fun. Check out this template that The Urban Fairy created for the Digital Scrapbooking Studio's 4 year anniversary challenge:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I still needed to scrap up some ofthe picts of the kids from when we went to pick strawberries the other day so here is what I came up with:<br />
<br />

I am not one for much journaling but it was fun to capture the memories of the kids. Other elements used in this layout are from The Urban Fairy's Little Bunny Love.<br />
<br />
Another opportunity I came acros to use a template is for the Digital Scrapbooking Studio's Layout Artist Challenge Week 2. <br />
Here is what the template started out as:<br />

Basically they are the newfangled way of feeding toddlers soupy stuff like yogurt and applesauce with less mess than feeding from a bowl. They are usually foil packets with some sort of spout or valve and they are, of course, disposable. Great for on-the-go but a lot of waste. Well how about refilling them? I have seen some refillable squeeze pouches on the internet that are designed for this purpose, like Sili, Squooshi, Yummi, and Beaba Babypote.<br />

These are all very cute and I have not tried them because I thought, why can't I just refill the squeezie packets? They are foil and plastic so they clean up easily ( I just rinse with water and then pop in the dishwasher on the top rack with the spout over a tine of the dishwasher rack. I opened one up to check and it came out very clean) and the caps in the silverware holder. I bought a cheapo condiment dispenser at the grocery store and filled it up with applesauce. Then just squeeze to refill, cap and refrigerate. <br />

So that brings up a couple of the drawbacks of this method. 1. once the applesauce or yogurt is opened it probably should be refrigerated, so not ideal for on-the-go situations. 2. my kids sometimes chew on the spouts so the caps don't fit tightly. Again, not great for on-the-go but I think this method is great for refilling them to keep at home. I am sure this is much cheaper than buying new ones over and over again or even using the refillable ones, but I haven't done the cost breakdown. <br />
<br />
Note: I did try to use a pastry bag to do the refilling but apple sauce is so runny that it made a huge mess. not worth it. jengardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023892601422180352noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799016842072972794.post-76941783233596921962013-04-02T11:14:00.002-04:002013-04-02T11:14:48.726-04:00Little Bunny Love and more Easter picturesHey all.

Last night my friend Sarah came over for strawberry dipping. She had seen these adorable orange chocolate-dipped strawberries on the cover of the Harry and David catalog and so we set out to recreate them. Also Sarah HAD given up sugar for lent but let's just say the fast was over a tad early!!!<br />

So this is what we did. Some notes ahead of time. <br />
1. Get medium strawberries and if you are picking them yourself, make sure to keep the leaves and even some stem on them to grasp while dipping. <br />
2. Wash and dry thoroughly before dipping. Bring to room temp if they have been refrigerated.<br />
3. Set out cookie sheets with parchment for drying dipped strawberries<br />
4. We got about 24 strawberries out of a double recipe of chocolate plus a bunch of peanut butter filled pretzels<br />
5. Making the little carrot lines seemed difficult. Read on..<br />
<br />
Ok here is the recipe we used for making the double recipe of chocolate: 2lb white chocolate morsels+ 2tablespoons shortening. Place in double boiler over med heat to melt and stir. Add food coloring to desired color. Don't bother using toothpicks to hold strawberries. They will just pull right out. Grasp strawberry by the stem and dip to cover. We found the chocolate in the double boiler cooled pretty quickly so some of our berries were a tad lumpy (but still delicious!) and you have to stir the chocolate and dip quickly. Place on parchment to dry. <br />

<br />
We contemplated making the carrot lines but decided against it. We felt like if the chocolate were melty enough to drizzle from a pastry bag or snipped ziplock that it would be too hot to handle and if it were cool enough to handle it wouldn't be drizzly enough. Maybe we could have used a fork to splatter the chocolate on but it certainly wouldn't be very controlled. <br />
<br />
Since we are heading to a friend's house for Easter, I decided to make a Carrot Garden Dirt Pie. I used this recipe for the "dirt." I've forgotten where i read this recipe originally but there are recipes all over the internet that are pretty similar.<br />
<br />
14oz-16oz oreos<br />
8oz cream cheese<br />
1/2 butter softened<br />
1 cup powdered sugar<br />
1/2tsp vanilla<br />
5.9 oz pkg instant pudding chocolate (or vanilla)<br />
3 cups milk<br />
1 pkg cool whip<br />
<br />
1. Use food processor to chop oreos (cream and all) into small pieces. <br />
2. Cream together cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla.<br />
3. In large bowl add milk to pudding and mix together. Fold in cool whip. <br />
4. Add butter mixture to Pudding mixture and mix well. <br />
<br />
Alternate layers of cookies and pudding in a large glass pan. Top with layer of cookie dirt. I used a deep dish casserole dish and it just barely fit everything!<br />
<br />
To decorate, I used a wine stopper to depress cone-shaped depressions in the "dirt" to set the "carrots" into. added some gummy worms for fun! Enjoy!!<br />

You might recall that last august I tried to find some natural food dyes that would dye some frosting for my kids' bday cake. It wasn't overly successful. But around comes Easter and natural dyes are all the rage on pinterest and facebook. I knew I had to try them out! So i sent the hubby off to the grocery store with my list: 8-12 large yellow (spanish) onions and a head of red cabbage. Luckily I have turmeric in my spice cabinet and vinegar always on standby. I also did purchase some liquid chlorophyll from Whole Foods around St Paddy's Day but you'll see this is unnecessary. All measurements and times are approximate and you'll want to experiment on your own to get the colors you desire.<br />
<br />
Here are my beautiful results! From top left to right: Onion dye 2-3 hours room temp and oiled with olive oil, Cabbage dye room temp 2 hours, Cabbage dye + turmeric powder boiled then refrigerated 2 hours. Bottom Left to Right: turmeric dye, Cabbage dye refrigerated, Cabbage dye + baking soda room temp<br />

Red Cabbage: Isn't it pretty? Cut 1 large head of red cabbage into chunks and place in large pot. Add abt 6 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer 15-30 minutes or more. Cool before use. Strain out cabbage. And add 1 tablespoon vinegar per cup of dye. Place cooked eggs in dye at room temp or in fridge. Dyes pretty BLUE. Add 1/2 tsp per cup turmeric and microwave. Add egg to dye GREEN. No need to use liquid chlorophyll. Add baking soda (watch out, it will FIZZ) to dye eggs TURQUOISE.<br />

<br />
Yellow Onions: Remove skins only from 8 large onions. Place in pot and add 3 cups water. Boil and then simmer for 15-30 minutes or more. Cool to room temp, strain and place liquid in shallow pot. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and add uncooked eggs to dye. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute then take off heat and let come to room temp. Place eggs in dye at room temp or in fridge. Dyes dark REDDISH-ORANGE.<br />
<br />
Also you can wrap some hardboiled eggs in the remaining skins tightly (i used a paper towel) and refrigerate. Adds a fun texture.<br />

So I did try using liquid chlorophyll and it does dye eggs GREEN (see below) but it was grainy and the color didn't seem especially colorfast (ie I think i would remove it if I wiped the egg). The YELLOW below is Turmeric boiled in water and add a little vinegar.<br />

So I never got a nice purple or red so I'll have to work on that - next year (beets, pomegranate, grape juice) etc! I also will donate several of my leftover onion to friends for use in recipes and the leftover dyes I will also pass along as I know the shelf life will be pretty short and I am done dying eggs for the season. These eggs will be headed to the deviled egg factory in a couple of days (YUM). Hope you get a chance to try dying eggs naturally!jengardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023892601422180352noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799016842072972794.post-33586381366852393252013-03-25T14:37:00.001-04:002013-03-25T15:48:09.718-04:00Easter Egg hunt pictures and my first real scrapliftHey all. Do you know what a scraplift is? Well, basically it is replicating someone else's layout with your own spin and pictures. I would call it "copying" but since the scrapping community accepts this practice I will call it scraplifting. I wasn't overly inspired in laying out some pictures of the kids from this past weekend's easter egg hunt so I went on a hunt of my own - to find a layout that I liked that would showcase a few of the pictures. <a href="http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1753943&title=easter&cat=500">On DigiShopTalk's gallery, I found this cute layout by Celeste</a>.

The idea is not to copy it exactly but to use it as inspiration for your own layout. I thought it came out cute. I love The Urban Fairy's Butterfly Kisses purples patterned papers and they are perfect for easter scrapping!!<br />

LOL. Yep this week i'd like to get back to some lifestyle stuff- crafts and such. Last night I had to make a bunch of cupcakes for our annual Spring Fling which is an egg hunt, crafts and activities for our mothers of multiples club. I knew I wanted to make an easy bunny rabbit but wasn't sure about the frosting. I am on a natural food coloring kick right now so I thought I would see how turmeric colored and flavored some cool whip I had. It was a beautiful yellow shade and the flavor needed - something! well I had a lemon hanging around and I thought that maybe those two flavors might melt together pretty well. So I squeezed (squoze?) it and added just the tiniest little amount of lemon juice to the whip. It did very slightly curdle the whip which gives it a fun texture, and it tasted - well - pretty good. So if you want to replicate it, try adding the turmeric slowly to some cool whip or other whipped cream frosting, and mix well and taste as you go. Then add lemon juice a very small amount at a time until you get the taste to your liking. Ok I haven't seen Turmeric Lemon Frosting anywhere else on the internet so if you come across something, i'd love to see it.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of three bunny cupcakes I made - the one on the left is just cool whip. The middle is cool whip with just lemon juice and the right cupcake has the turmeric lemon frosting. I used the pastel candy corn as ears and yogurt covered raisins (in easter colors) for the mouths (unfortunately neither of these have natural dyes - only fake dye...ugh).<br />

Welcome to my blog, ExperimentMOM. This week, the creative team of The Urban Fairy (The Flutters, as we are called) is hosting a blog hop for many of our team members. Each of us came up with some great questions for The Urban Fairy, aka Dani, and we hope you enjoy this progressive interview as well as all the fun goodies that you will find when you HOP over to the next blog in the hop. You can do that by pressing the Blog Hop Button (that I designed) in the top left column of my blog. And you MUST go visit The <a href="http://theurbanfairymilana.com/blog/" target="_blank">Urban Fairy's blog</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheUrbanFairy" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> as well for tons of freebies and coupons! But don't leave yet! There are still freebies to be had! Keep reading....<br />

designs? How so? </b><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"><b>TUF: Yes they sure do! Especially when they're being crazy!!
My oldest { Zamera,10 } is getting very interested in what I've been doing so
she likes to give her input. I'm hoping to be able to get a computer for the
kids this year and help Zam learn to use Adobe and work on her own little
creations. My middle child, { Serenity, 5 } likes to help me with the colors.
She will see a color some where and tell me all about it and how I should use it
in my next creation!</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #674ea7;">TUF: I love that the possibilities are endless. There are so
many styles and techniques that each time I work with a new collection the ways
I can create something always keep me on my toes! I HATE making previews. Lol! It's so hard to pack the beautiful creation
into a small preview and make it look good. I'd say that it's going to take me
many more years to get it right!</span></b></div>

And now - - > FREEBIES!! These are my first-ever freebies and I hope you really like them. They were created using the newly released "A Little Moment" kit from The Urban Fairy. I tend towards a modern minimalist feel when I design scrapbook pages and I think that comes out in my freebies. Please let me know if you use them. It would make me feel SO GOOD!! Send me an email, post to The Urban Fairy facebook page, comment here on this post or get in touch with me any way you'd like!! You can even post your layout to the Urban Fairy Gallery at the Digital Scrapbooking Studio <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/gallery/g1391-the-urban-fairy.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. You'll notice that the files have a _SDSDS attached - that is me, Jen, at ScraPicts Digital Scrapbooking Design Service (SDSDS) and you can use that when you add any credits to your layouts! Click <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16287383/ALM_TUF_SDSDS_freebies.zip" target="_blank">HERE</a> to get the freebies.<br />
