Homemade Lemon Hand Scrub

This is a great exfoliate for your hands--and it's all natural!  This makes a great gift for teachers, girlfriends, or co-workers.  I mixed mine and then packaged it in a pretty mason jar.

The recipe is from www.bystephanielynn.com

It's super easy!

2 1/2 Cups of Sugar
1 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 TBSP Lemon Juice

You can add essential oils if you would like--I would recommend because the olive oil is kind of strong. Just Stir and put in a sealed jar.

A Pot Full of Flowers!

Can you even believe two posts on one day??!!  I am enjoying my last night of solitude before my family gets home from camp this weekend.

This card was made for someone that works in my building and he is an avid gardener!  He often brings us cut flowers from his backyard for our desks--so although it is not very masculine, I think in this case, he will appreciate the card!  Plus, he told me once that his wife occasionally scrapbooks.

I used the Martha Stewart fringe scissors for the grass--they are kind of fun to play with! You can check them out here:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  How is everyone's summer going?

Fishin' You A Happy Birthday!

My sister-in-law loves fish--so I made her this card for her birthday:

I think my favorite part is how I ran the waves through my Cuddlebug bubbles folder to make the waves!   On the inside I printed "Fishin You a Happy Birthday!"  It was a fun card to make!

Happy Crafting!

Holy Cow--time flies!!

My hubby and boys are all at scout camp and bible camp this week--my two oldest needed signs to place outside their tents at boy scout camp.  There was even a contest for the best sign--and they asked me to help them make them!  Of course, Brandon asked me not to make Cory's as good as his, because he wanted to win!

                             I used the 50 State cartridge for this--the cartridge I always thought would be cool on one hand, and what would I use it for on the other hand?  My husband finally just bought it for me and I have used it a couple times for school related projects for the boys.  Cory wanted a loon because they have them at camp. I had to cut the State of MN out pretty large--I think this might have been cut at 8 inches--

                              

    
                                  I used the camp out cartridge for the tent and the sign--I just love the sign--it looks like wood. The letters were cut out with Life's A Beach at 1 inch.  The tent is cool because it reminds me of the tents on M*A*S*H--and the boys are camping in tents like that!  The racoon is from Create A Critter and is also funny because the boys can not have any food in their tents and have to lock food in a bear box!  The racoons come out at night and steal things from their campsites!


Thanks for visiting!!!
