Pins To Creations Design Team-Winter Card

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday!  I hope you all have a rockin weekend.

I'm here today with a post for Pins To Creations.

I'm actually using two pins today.  I saw this beautiful wintery card and i really wanted to recreate it.  I also wanted to come out of my comfort zone and explore some cool combo colors...finally came across a turquoise and red color combo and feel in love....

Here is the card.  Click here to be taken to the inspired blog!

Happy Birthday Card

Hi everyone!  Happy Thursday.  Did you all have a great Thanksgiving?!  I know it was a week ago but I haven't posted since last week.  Playing a bit of catch up and getting some scheduled blog posts ready :)

Yesterday was my dad's birthday so I wanted to share a card that I made for him.  A masculine card is never easy...at least to me it's not.  My dad loves sports and cooking and he owns his own catering company so creating cards for him actually isn't all that terrible.  I am so happy how this card turned out, he loved too.

Papers are from my stash and Echo Park Dots & Stripes

Chef cut is from the Silhouette store

Grandmother To Be Baby Shower Favors

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday!  I hope you all enjoy your weekend.

A few days ago I delivered a custom order of favors to a dear friend of mine.  Her friend is a first time grandmother and wanted some favors for the party they had.  Now being new to this Grandmother To Be Baby Showers, I had no clue what to make so I knew the favors were going to be unique.

I created these favor toppers completely from scratch.  Love how they turned out...

The 3 x 4 clear bags are from Jaded Blossom.  The font and duck are from the Silhouette store.

Thank you so much for stopping by and be sure to stop back on Sunday for the Pins To Creations Design Team Fall/Thanksgiving Blog Hop!

Pins To Creations Feature-Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub

Hi everyone!  Happy Monday.  Did you all have a great weekend?!

I'm here today with a post for Pins To Creations.  I'm so excited that I get to kick off the Pins To Creations Designer Feature.

I came across this Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub not too long ago and wanted to give it a try.  If I like it I figured I would make more and give them as little gifts for a Thanksgiving/Fall treat to my girlfriends.

You can find the link to the blog by clicking here and below is the picture on the blog...

So I followed the recipe on the blog which called for...

1 C brown sugar
1/2 C white sugar
1 T pumpkin pie spice
1/2 C vegetable or sunflower oil 


 I mixed all the ingredients together and I decided to use Vegetable Oil.  I put it nicely in a container though this recipe didn't quite fill the container so when I go to make more I will be picking a different one.  Turned out pretty well, smells amazing but I think next time I will try another oil.  As you can tell in my picture it's a little more oily.  Here is my end result...

The fabric came from my stash.  I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities Small Circle and Small Scallop Circle.  The pumpkin stamp came from Jaded Blossom Thanksgiving Wishes and the sentiment comes from Jaded Blossom Simple Sayings.  The ink of choice was Stampin Up in Early Espresso.


Be sure to check out the Pins To Creations Blog.
