Share your favorite recipe with us.
Cinnamon Roll Bites. Open a 12-oz can of biscuits; cut each into fourths. Toss to coat pieces in a mixture of 1/4 C brown sugar + 1T cinnamon. Spread in baking dish. Pour on 3T melted butter. Bake 20-25 min. Once done cover with cream cheese frosting and enjoy! My oldest is allergic to red dye as well as some preservatives so we make our own version of cinnamon buns/bites.

Share The Luck of the Irish With Gingerscraps!

Dia dhaoibh! According to Google, that’s “Hello” in Gaelic! Best I can do is “Hello” in an Irish accent, a bad one! St. Patrick’s Day! Everyone becomes Irish for a day! Enjoy a pint, pinch someone not wearing green (where does that come from anyway?), and enjoy some new gorgeous kits from the designers! They’re gearing up for spring, but don’t worry, there are some great “green” kits in there as well! Slán go fóill!

Before I show you the new goodies, here are a few layouts I picked out of the gallery using our new Buffet and this month’s Monthly Mix,called “A Bit of Luck”!
