No Tricks, Just Treats SSS Sale {My Picks}

Simon Says Stamp

Simon Says Stamp is offering and awesome coupon code for Halloween! It's been sitting in my inbox for a few days waiting for me to have a minute to sit down and make a few picks. There are so many great products being released all the time, but I like to think about each selection carefully. I don't want to end with products that just take up space in my craft room. Just because I love the projects others have made with a particular product doesn't mean I will get enough use out of it to justify purchasing it. So after all that I finally made my selections.
Now I just can't wait for them to arrive!

Take a peek at my picks below! Happy Shopping!

With Much {LOVE} And Gratitude

Tuesday, October 25, 2016

I love this time of year. Giving baked goods as gifts is one of my favorite things. I love to bake and giving it away allows me to make others happy and maintain my waistline.

On Thursday I baked 5 little loaves of zucchini bread and sent them to work with my husband as a treat for his co-workers on Friday. We then made plans to visit with friends on Saturday night. I just happened to have another zucchini, so I made 5 more loaves and brought a few with us to share with our friends. Another friend dropped by with a housewarming gift and I just happened to have a loaf for her too!

The recipe for these is so quick and easy I thought I'd share it with you today in case you'd like to bake some yourself. I love making fun desserts, but sometimes you just want quick and easy. This recipe requires no fancy equipment and is easy cleanup. I got the recipe from the Foods teacher at my school.

Enjoy!

Reindeer Tags + Friday Inspiration File Week #285

Friday, October 21, 2016

TGIF! I'm working on a set of Christmas tags using WP9 Santa's Reindeer and the new Christmas Tag Die. I started by using two of the deer in the set, Rudolph and his girlfriend! That's how I see them anyway :)

The design is super simple with just some basic Copic coloring and a little Wink Of Stella for shimmer. They are easy to mass produce.

Since it's Friday I have also added new projects to the Friday Inspiration File Week #285! Check them out!

Below you'll find links to all of the products used on my reindeer tags {affiliate links used}

Hi! I'm on the WPlus9 Blog today sharing a card with a similar design, but using different images from the new Santa's Reindeer set. The best part: I made both cards with only one Santa image!
