Pintastic Friday #2 {PB & Chocolate}

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

 
In case you missed last weeks post, here is a recap...  

I'm going to start sharing a few of my favorite pins each week and then pick one to make.  I started last week and the "goal" is to share my completed pin with you the next week.

So here is the big question... did I actually complete anything?    {drum-roll please....... }

YES!!! 

I completed 2 projects, yes I said TWO!  {alright, I'm gonna be honest... don't be too impressed since one of the projects took me 5 min... literally}.

********************************************

So last week I confessed to being a Pinaholic,  but if I'm being really really truthful, I'm actually a PB & Chocoholic.  EVERY time I see anything with that combo I immediately pin it.   Immediately.

Here are a just a few {trust me, if you check out my pinterest, you'll find a TON more}

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Bars

Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Tart

Peanut Butter Frosted Brownies

Chocolate Cupcakes w/Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Frosting

Peanut Butter Coffee Cake

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

So much for that diet... hehe

Make sure to check back next week to see which one I chose!

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Personalized Golf Club Covers

Okay, this post is going to be short and sweet

I've been super busy this week trying to get everything together for our trip without the kids {Vegas Baby!!!}

YES, you heard me right, without the kids!!

While I'm super excited for my trip, I'm also excited to share this fun little craft I made for my golf playing father-in-law

In case you missed it,  I included these golf balls with this gift.  The Perfect Combo!

I created the design on my Silhouette Cameo

A few pointers:

1. Make sure to print your template out on normal paper first to confirm that you have the appropriate size/shape
2. VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure to MIRROR your image BEFORE you print the final image on your iron-on sheets.  Otherwise everything will be backwards.

Next, peel off the negative space, so that only your image is left on the transfer paper 

Iron on.  Done!

Honestly, I was a little worried about how it would turn out since the shape wasn't the easiest to iron and the material was a little mesh-like.

But they turned out perfectly.

Now I'm off to finish cleaning the house before the long drive tomorrow!! Adios!!

{P.S. Thanks mom for watching the kiddos... especially over Valentine's Day.... you are awesome!!!}

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Personalized Golf Balls

Where did Monday go?  I wanted to get this posted first thing, but instead of working on posts last night, I watched the premier of Walking Dead w/the hubs.  Do any of you watch that show?!?!?  OMG {yes, I just said OMG},  if you don't, you must start watching NOW!  It's fantastic, addictive and an intense show - we love it!

Now normally I wouldn't have time to blog on Monday mornings, since my kiddos have swim class, but this morning was different...  I spent my morning sitting around while a plumber fixed the sink.

So.Much.Fun.

Luckily, after a quick 3.5 hours the sink was fixed - yahoo!!  Even though my morning errands were shot and swim class was cancelled at least I was able to squeeze a new post in {silver lining}

So, today I wanted to share this fun and easy Silhouette Cameo craft - great for anyone - but this was made for my Father-in-law.

I created the design on my Cameo first

I printed it on Tattoo Paper ** remember to mirror image before printing!!!**

Then I had my Cameo cut it out 

If you don't have a Cameo, Cricket, etc... you can print any image from Word, Photoshop, Etc {mirror image in printer settings} and then cut out with scissors :)

Time to apply on the golf ball

 Place on ball and wet the back {per the instructions on the tattoo paper package}

DONE!

They turned out super cute...

Hopefully my Father-In-Law doesn't lose them all in the lake :)

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Pintastic Friday #1 {Valentine's}

Hello... My name is Angela... and I'm a Pinaholic

I love pinning great ideas, tips and recipes, but I'm REALLY bad about following thru and actually making them.

So I thought I'd try and motivate myself....

I'll start sharing a few of my favorite pins each week and then pick one to make.  So today is the start, next week I'll be sharing my completed pin and I'll post a new list of pins to attempt to tackle.

********************************************

I think I want to squeeze in one (or two) more Valentine's Day crafts, so here are a few pintastic ones I've found :)

Valentine's Day Round Up

Do you ever wake up and wish you could just roll over and go back to bed?

I do... all the time

Unfortunately that never happens, since I have 2 tiny {but very loud} monkeys bouncing on my bed... Literally!   

3yr old: "Momma, I'm starving!!!  I neeeeeddd to eat someting"
20mo old: "MAMA, mote" {hands me remote} then points to tv "MAMA, mou" {turn on Mickey Mouse}

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a momma

but I AM NOT a morning person

at all............

So instead of posting a brand new craft today, I'm gonna be a little lazy and do a round up of some of my past Valentine's Day projects.

HANDmade Valentine's Card

I think one of the best parts of becoming a parent are all the handmade gifts.

I love them.  They are so sweet and personal.

A few years back, my hubby and I agreed that we would only give handmade gifts to each other for Valentine's Day.  I mean, what shows your love more than personally making something!

To keep with tradition, my hubby got something handmade from me {check it out here} and something handmade {literally} from our daughter.

 So simple ...

and my daughter loved having pink hands!

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Valentine's Day Printables

I can't believe it's already February!  As much as I love this month, it's also one of the busiest months for my family.  We have...

 

* Valentine's day

* My sister's birthday

* My birthday {YIPPEE}

* My dad's birthday

Plus it's the shortest month of the year!! Let's just say that this month is pretty rough on the checkbook debt card {who even uses checkbooks anymore?}

So I thought in the spirit of saving some dough and still staying crafty, I'd share a few FREE Valentine Day Printables!
