Bake Sale, Hurray!
Bake sales are a fine thing. Especially in November; especially when the holiday season is drawing near. So, of course, we were all waiting excitedly for the bake this semester’s first bake sale. And today was the day. Armed with a big container, I joined the line of those waiting, and then we had the joy of indulging ourselves in cupcakes and cookies, in pies, and brownies, and fudges, and everything else a sweets-loving gal like me could desire. Yes, bake sales really are a fine thing. Because you finally get eat things that normally are hard to come by here.
P2D Inspiration:
I have a new paper page I’d like to share with you. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it, and of course, I had to try my hand on it, turning it into a digital layout! On this page, I loved all the little details – the pieces of journaling scattered all over, and her fun way to use scraps for some confetti and scatters. So, after drooling over this page for quite a while, I came up with this:

Freebie Friday: Autumn Card #1
I’m excited that after several months of not sharing any freebie with you, I finally get to post my latest template. It’s a simple one, and it’s a template for a card based on one of my hybrid projects. It actually took me forever to upload because my file host acted up on me, but here it finally is! Enjoy, and as always: Happy Friday, scrappers! Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to Misty Hilltops Designs.
Hybrid Hub: Autumn Card #2
Fall is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to show another one of my autumn cards. For this card I used the quote by A. Camus “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” I took the theme of that quote (leaves) and used it for the background as well as the embellishment. When creating the word art, I worked with four different kinds of fonts, but I adjusted the opacity of the words and placed them behind the main text, but just slightly off to add some more interest and dimension to it. Supplies used: Digital scrapbook papers from a blog hop last year (freebie material), white card stock, ribbon.
It's Finished!
You may remember some of my earlier posts about the new lobby that was coming, and the excitement we all share in having a nice entrance to our faculty accommodations. Well … it’s done. The lobby’s finally finished, and we enjoy short ways to the cafeteria, and a nice nice lounging area where we can sit and talk and relax and sip our coffees (or teas) and eat delicious cakes or sandwiches, and … You get the point! We’re really happy with our new lobby!

Food Corner: A Different Kind of Carrot Cake
We had cake the other day. Some good ol’ brownie our chefs had added to our menu just recently. One of my colleagues, however, decided that just having brownie wouldn’t be enough to whet his appetite. He wanted to have carrot cake instead. And carrot cake he did end up with. Carrot cake of sorts at least!
