For my card this week, I used one of my favorite stamps from our sponsor Stamp and Create! This angel is sooooo sweet! She was colored with copics. Her wings were glittered with dazzling diamonds from Stampin Up. I broke out my old button box, for this card. I used some old and some new buttons to find the right color combination. I added a few rhinestones in the centers too. Even my ribbon was layered on and was from some old ribbons that were purchased at a garage sale years and years ago. My designer cardstock was from my stash from several years back. I used my favorite standby of solid bazzill in the layering.


For my BBQ Recipe, I decided to include my favorite recipe for BBQ sauce. I always seem to run out of sauce and this is so easy to make from ingredients that I always have in the house.

Denise's Smoky BBQ sauce:
Mix in a saucepan:
3 Tbsp Worcestershire
1 minced glove of garlic
1 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar but white will work)
2 Tsp liquid smoke (any kind will do)(is in the section near to the worchestershire sauce and is a clear smokey flavored liquid)
1 medium onion, grated
1 Tsp celery salt
1 Tsp chili powder
Tabasco (depends how spicy you want it, a few drops for flavor, 1-2 tsp or more for spice)
Simmer on low for 1/2 hour
Wonderful on chicken, beef or pork. Enjoy!

Please share your favorite recipes with us! I will stop by for a sample!
