To say I was challenged with this weeks RetroSketch would be an understatement. N@Ali was the Guest Designer this week with a sketch based on
THIS card. Both her original and her redo were so fabulous and creative. I pulled out my Flower Fusion dies and stamps to create my 5" square card with a 4 1/4" mat. I added dimension to the white panel with foam tape and popped some of the flowers with foam dots.

We have about a 3 weeks strawberry season in Ontario. Although these days you can get strawberries all year from around the world there is nothing like fresh Ontario berries. During this season I make as many strawberry cheesecakes as I can. My husband said that this is what he married me for...really? I thought I would share this yummy recipe that I am sure is low cal. Enjoy you won't be disappointed.
CREAMY
STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE
2 cups graham crumbs
½ cup margarine; melted
