Challenge time - using acetate.

I never thought I would be talking about my scrapbooking on here but I wanted to participate in a challenge with a group I have joined. The challenge is with Off the Rails Scrapbooking
( offtherailsscrapbooking.blogspot.com.au ) and involved using acetate. You need to post via a blog so here we go.
My contribution is a very simple card as I like simple things and sometimes I need something very basic. I used a couple of stickers and placed them between the acetate sheets and then melted them together. My card is a simple 3 fold with the acetate sitting in a cut out oval on the front third. Inside is a stamped pattern in greens. I have not written any words yet as I like to write in my own handwriting to make the message personal. That part is the inner third.
This was difficult to photograph with all the glare from the acetate and the bounce back from the white paper. I have so much to learn but it is such fun!

A great recipe for shared camping food - doesn't need cooking.

This will interest very few but I have decided to post these recipes on the blog because when I am away I can access what I need. We have get togethers and sometimes you need to prepare dessert style items or goodies for afternoon or morning teas. This one requires no cooking and the items are easily transported. I used only 125 grams of choc bits which meant I could make 2 batches. There was plenty of chocolate.
