GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Throwback Thursday!"
Today is the day that we are showcasing some oldie but still goodie MCT products. :)
For my card today, I used 2 of my older FAVORITES "You're a Great Catch" & "Fun Speech Bubbles". I think this card came out SO FUN! I colored in my cute fishy using my FAVORITE "Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The BONUS part about my card is that the 2 sets are on sale right now! You do NOT need to use a special code! :)
I hope my team & I inspired you all here today! Thank you so very much for stopping by, have a FABULOUS day & I will see you all back here soon! :) xoxo
GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Manly Monday!"
Today is the day that my team & I create "masculine" cards! Yes, I know these cards can be a little tricky to create, but I promise they are easier than you think! My train of thought is that I don't have to worry about adding so much to my card & just keep it minimal! :)
GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Whatever Wednesday!"
Today is the day that my team & I create basically "whatever" we want! ;)
I just HAD to use my "Happy Rainy Day Kit" again because I just ADORE that girl holding the umbrella! I also used the sentiment & raindrops from my other set "Make a Splash", WHICH IS in the overstock sale item category right now ;)
I thought she would look cute popped up onto my Starburst Dies. :)
I hope my team & I inspired you all here today! :) Thank you SO VERY MUCH for stopping by, have a FABULOUS day & I will see you back here soon! ;) xoxo
GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Cook~n~Craft!" Today is the day that my team & I share either a snack that we love to have while we are crafting OR any one of our favorite recipes!
First off, for my card, I always used the larger band-aid from this set so I was happy when I found this that I had stamped, colored & die cut this out already some time ago! I just LOVE my secret stashes that I save & DON'T throw away! ;) I am really happy with how my card came out! You can see in my video below how I put this together!
Okay, now onto my recipe for you! Today I am sharing my "Chickpea Salad" with you!
Ever since I've become a vegan, I have missing my egg salads along with my tuna salads! So, I searched the web for alternatives & found several recipes using chickpeas/garbanzo beans. Since I had an idea on what my main ingredient was, I just used what I would've usually used but I totally vegan-ized it! ;)
This is SUPER EASY! I just get one can of organic Garbanzo beans & through them in my food processor until it reaches the consistency that you see in this picture! You can also just smash them up using a fork OR a potato smasher.
Now, I've learned since becoming a vegan, I use TONS of ingredients to make it YUMMY! lol...
Here is everything I use for this recipe. Everything is pretty visible in my picture except for the Nutritional Yeast! I LOVE using this because of the B12 it has in it! I LOVE that I am able to find ingredients that ARE vegan especially this mayo I use! I get it from Target & the brand is "Hampton Creek" and it's called "Just Mayo"! I LOVE it because there is no dairy & it's VERY GOOD!
I usually just eye ball everything. This is how much I use "approximately" of everything:
~ I dice up one pickle
~ Mayo, I don't measure I just put approx 2- 2 1/2 TBLS
~ Ketchup approx 1 TBLS
~ Nutritional Yeast approx 1 TBLS
~ Paprika 1 tsp
~ Mustard 1 tsp
~ Apple Cider Vinegar 1/2 tsp
~ Diced Jalepenos approx 1/2 of the can (I LOVE HEAT)
~ Garlic Powder 1 tsp
~ Celery Salt 1 tsp
~ Onion Powder 1 tsp
~ Squeeze 1/2 of the lemon
Now, you adjust this to how you like it. You don't have to use all of these ingredients, just leave out what you do not like! Do keep in mind, I don't measure anything, so these are all just approximate measurements. OF COURSE you do not have to use vegan stuff, you can use regular mayo, I just use this stuff because I am a vegan & I LOVE IT! ;)
After you mix it all up, it will look like this in your sammie! I just toasted some rye bread, added some spinach along with my chickpea salad & it was one YUMMY lunch! Then I just HAD to have some organic baked BBQ chippies on the side! ;)
I wanted to share this particular recipe because it's starting to get warm now & this is a PERFECT meal for this GORGEOUS spring weather we are having! :)
Now onto my INCREDIBLE design team! Don't forget to click on each blog & leave them both some much deserved LOVE! :)
I hope we inspired all of YOU here today! Thank you all so much for stopping by, have a FABULOUS day & I will see you all back here soon! xoxo

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Whatever Wednesday!"
Today is the day that my team & I create WHAT EVER WE WANT! :)
For my card today, it was something that I was supposed to show during release week, but I was NOT happy with it! You can see in my video below why I thought I didn't like it below!
I am just HAPPY that I decided to make it work & I LOVE it! :)
GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Thoughtful Thursday!"
I just want to start by saying THANK YOU for the well wishes! I feel TONS better....THANK GOD!
For those of you who are new to my blog, for "Thoughtful Thursday" my team & I create a card that is meant for a specific person in mind! For my card I created today, it is for a friend of mine who is still recovering from meningitis :( She finally went home from the hospital but has a long road to recovery. So I am hoping this card will put a smile on her face! :) You can see in my video below exactly how I put this together!
Also, this was not in the video, but I decided to add some red hemp twine and I also added some glossy accents to the cute ladybug! ;)
GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "My Favorite Stamp of the Month!"
Today we are featuring another "My FAVORITE stamp of the Month! This month we are featuring a fun stamp "Enjoy The Little Things!". If this cute stamp has been on your wish list, you can pick this set up HERE at a discount price!
This set will be on sale for the entire month of February! The sale will end on February 29, 2016 @ 12:00am PST!
For this card, I thought this sentiment would be PERFECT stamped onto my coffee cup from my Revised "Coffee Break" set~! I actually WAS supposed to do a video today, but I was playing around with this earlier since this was the first day of Miss Kathy's 30 Day Coloring Challenge! So I thought I would color something while I ate breakfast! I LOVE to "multi-task" ;)
I basically just watercolored the background, stamped the sentiment onto my layer of the card. Next I stamped & die cut my coffee cup, then stamped the sentiment again onto the cup using my misti just to make sure the sentiment lined up perfectly with it on the watercolor portion! I stamped the sentiment a 3rd time & fussy cut out the banner then popped that up onto the coffee cup! BUT, before I did that, I watercolored the coffee cup & did some shading on the lid! Last I stamped the little dotted heart at the top on my cup! This actually was NOT supposed to be my card today, but I thought it came out pretty decent, so I just decided to use it for today! :)
