Happy Friday, peeps! We made it to the weekend! I must say, this has been a lovely August, weather-wise, here in SE PA! Just beautiful! Although tomorrow I am taking a test and will be stuck inside all day long, I have enjoyed the earlier part of the week!
Today I am sharing a quick little baby card; my niece will be having a little girl soon, and rather than do the traditional pink, when I saw the Colour Me…! monochromatic challenge of Pistachio Pudding, I thought that would be sweet to use! I chose Smoky Slate as my neutral:
I also used the Technostamper sketch for this week. I stamped the wee elephant from Zoo Babies in Smoky Slate, her ear in Pistachio Pudding, mounted her on a circle stamped with the retired A to Z, and added the sentiments from Celebrate Baby:
A touch of silver ribbon and some In Colors sequins finished it off. And here’s the inside:
Thanks for visiting today!
Using the plethora of zucchini in my garden, we made a Zucchini Apple Pie the other day. DON’T LAUGH…..it tastes exactly like an apple pie. In fact, Cassidy was helping me put the slices from the food processor into the pan, and she said, “Grammy, are these apples?”!!! Here are a few pictures of the process:
Making the pie crust:
The zucchini are peeled, sliced and parboiled just until a bit crisp:
Mixed with lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon and cream of tartar, then into the shell it goes:
And the final product, after Grampy ate a few slices:

I really love using these colors for a baby card - and of course I would never have thought of it. Thanks so much for the inspiration. And PLEASE send me the zucchini pie recipe! Thanks in advance - I'm buried in zucchini right now, and turning a bit green from all I've been eating! wpayne@email.com
Such an adorable baby card; love how you used the green. Great way to get kids (and adults) to eat their veggies.
This is a beautiful card! I love Zoo Babies and this card utilized the stamp set perfectly. I wouldn't have thought to use Smoky Slate as the neutral with Pistachio Pudding but it really works! Adorable! Thanks for joining us this week at Colour Me...!
I LOVE everything about this sweet baby card! The elephant is adorable and I love the letters behind him! OK, Martha Stewart award to you and Cassidy! I would really like to taste that pie! It looks delicious! XX
Your baby card is perfect! Love how you mixed different patterns on the same card. Thanks for joining us at Colour Me....! this week and hope to see you again soon!
Love this cute baby card - looks great in pale green and the Smoky Slate is the perfect compliment. I have the biggest zucchini in my garden just waiting to be picked - I'm thinking the pie recipe could be the perfect reason! Never heard of a zucchini pie, but I'll try anything once and Grampy seems to have enjoyed it!
What an adorable card! Love the clean layout on the front, and the inside made me squeal – so stinkin' cute! ;) Thank you for playing along with us at Colour Me…! this week!
