Peach/Blueberry Cake with Sugar Crunch Top

A Labor Day Cake

My husband loves peaches and blueberries - especially in a pie or cake.  When I came across this Peach/Blueberry cake recipe on Instagram I knew I wanted to make it for him.  I followed the ingredients and instruction exactly as directed in the recipe by Tastes of Lizzy T - check her blog out here: Tastes of Lizzy T.  

The ingredients are simple and the cake came together quickly.  The three things I will do differently next time:

1) The directions say to use a "stand mixer" - I just grabbed the hand mixer because it was easily accessible - next time I will not be lazy and I will grab my KitchenAid stand mixer because it takes about 5 minutes to mix the sugar and butter to get it smooth and creamy so if I had used the "stand mixer" I could have been doing other things.

2)  The recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of sugar for the coating on top of the cake - next time I will use less than what the recipe calls for because I wound up dusting off a good amount of the sugar. 

3) The recipe says to bake for 30-40 minutes, but everyone's oven is different - next time I will bake mine for 45 minutes.

Other than that, I did not deviate from Tastes of Lizzy T's delicious recipe.  Below are a couple of photos of my cake.  Go visit Tastes of Lizzy T and make it!!!

Scrapbook Journal/Notebook

Today's project is what I am calling a Scrapbook Journal/Notebook, however it can also be used for Junk Journaling which is very popular right now.

Quite some time ago, I purchased a tutorial from Sherry Roth of Stamped Treasures to learn how to put the book together and then I designed my own project using papers that I have in my stash along with die-cut shapes and stamps.  This was really a fun book to put together.

I have several other styles to share where I used different patterned papers. Subscribe to this blog, my Facebook page and my YouTube channel so that you do not miss a project.

You can view the entire book page-by-page on my YouTube channel (link below).
