For the second card I used a tag which was a free gift in a Magazine. Just gave it a bow and a diecut background and it made for a very quick card.
Now for a little cooking tip. Do you have a Muffin tin? Well, until Saturday I never ever owned one! I found one at our local store, one with six rather large cups in it. Saturday night I arranged a cozy dinner for two with DH and wanted to do something special and original. So I made some mini Asparagus tarts in the Muffin Tin. So easy! Used puff pastry which I cut out into four circles and into four of the cups. I mixed four eggs, a little bit of cream, Roquefort cheese (3rd of a pack), salt, pepper and a jar of asparagus which I just cut into small pieces. Mixed it all together, and divided the mixture on top of the pasty into the four cups - made a little lid from the pastry that was over for all four and they cooked in about 15 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees. They were delicious with a salad and ready in no time. It just made it a little bit special to eat real home-made food. (Forgot to take a photo..)
both cards are very nice!

Gorgeous cards!! I received my labels...I did a blog post about them...go have a look:)....thanks for the little tip in kitchen too!! Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeletelove both cards - have had so much fun with the wine labels - used that label and put on a geeky picture of son when he was about 13 yrs. old - decorated it and put "you have aged to perfection" on inside - he got a good laugh out of it. asparagus muffins sound yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline! Your asparagus tarts sound very yummy! Love both cards today too - so pretty! Hugs to you! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cards and the tarts sound amazing! My husband will eat quiche if it is made in the mini tart pans and I think he would love this, too! I will be trying this soon! Thanks for the ideas both in card-making and in the kitchen!!!!
ReplyDeletelovely cards and the recipe sounds yummy. I make savoury muffins in my tin. They are part of my five a day
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline, love both your cards, the top one is stunning. Love the sound of your Asparagus tarts, yummy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! I like your collage on the first one a lot! I also like how you included the definition! (I am sad that I did not purchase this set when it was available at my local scrapbook store).
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds delicious and something my husband and I would enjoy (not the kids because of the asparagus..they are not fans!).
Beautiful cards Jacqueline and those little tarts sound super delicious !

Lovely creations! Your cooking sounds wonderful, so jummie! I have 2 small glass oven bowls and use them to make small quiches, so jummie! One of my favourites is with mushrooms, leek and walnuts and grated cheese (and ofcourse pastry and eggs). Hugs, Hanneke
ReplyDeleteThese cards are so stunning!!! I just adore your work ... and a great recipe too! your are multi talented!
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed with how you use patterned papers with stamping in your artwork, it's such a wonderful design style. These cards are both so creative and unique and so utterly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your culinary tips, I'm sure the lack of a photo is testament to the deliciousness of the dish!
Have a lovely week~
More LOVELY cards! LOVE what you create always so BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteLove that tag that you used, so pretty! And the gold foil looks delightful on your first card!
ReplyDeleteZwei schöne Karten, Jaqueline, sehr fein.
ReplyDeleteIch liebe die Idee mit den Wein-Etiketten.
Und das Rezept hört sich auch noch köstlich an, hm... :-)
Viele Grüße
fabulous cards Jacqueline. I have a Tex Mex muffin tin that has very large holes and it makes amazing little pies... I usually do bacon and egg, often just putting a square of pastry on and no lids... the eggs puff up and look awesome.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are delightful Jacqueline! Btw, your muffins sound delicious, especially with that roquefort ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards and thank you for sharing your recipe. Sounds delightful! Hugs, Yvonne
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delish.. I love to use puff pastry. I think I have some in my freezer right now.. I am going to give this a try... Your cards are so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Linda
Your cards are beautiful, and I can't wait to try the recipe!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi. Jacqueline. Both cards is beautiful. This weekend I have fun playing with my gift-the wine lable. It was so funny and challeging. Thanks again for the gift.
ReplyDeleteJust love both your cards, Jacqueline, but especially that sweet little face combined with the wine label. Your tarts sound delish - I will definitely share this recipe with my mom too; she loves asparagus and Roquefort :)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful! The first one is a real "Jacqueline" card. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove that gorgeous tag in your second card Jacqueline! And I adore how the stamps you used in your first card actually go perfectly with the image you used! Love Asparagus tartlets! You can make a nice breakfast dish in your muffin tin too, line it with some bacon slices around the edge and add some tomato, mushrooms, (whatever you want really), and a cracked egg!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pink creations! Lovely die cut on the second one and beautiful sweet image on the first. I love how you use your definitions collaged onto the image. Your recipes all sound so delicious and I am so happy your zest for cooking and creating is going so strong again!
