How to Emboss with the Cricut Cuttlebug

So many cute dies and embossing folders available - START SHOPPING!

I'm just getting started with embossing with my Cricut Cuttlebug, and I'm having lots of fun so far! I'm going to show you how to use the Cuttlebug embossing folders along with a couple of fun ways to use and "dress" up your embossed pieces. If you're new to using a Cuttlebug or thinking of getting one, we can learn about it together. If you're a seasoned pro, I hope you'll leave me a comment about how you love to use embossed pieces! 

Vinyl Decorated Water Bottle

When I started my job a few weeks ago, they gave me a welcome pack that included a nice insulated cup. I usually keep water in it so I can remember to drink during the day. But I knocked it over on the sidewalk one weekend and it cracked the ceramic inside, so I needed to replace it. I got this stainless steel one that I just love. 

The 20 Minute Bathroom Makeover

I'm totally guilty of being afraid to commit when it comes to decorating my house. I put it off because I'm afraid I won't like it, or because we have plans to remodel that room . . . someday. Or then we do remodel and and I still don't get around to actually decorating! This week I changed that and headed to Target for a bathroom refresh that took less than 20 miutes and it's made such a difference!

There's a common misconception that we never get any sun where we live. Truth be told, after the especially rainy winter and spring we've just had here in the Northwest, I was starting to believe that myself! But I promise, we still do need sunscreen here. Besides, harmful UV rays can damage skin even through clouds, and we do love being at the park or going hiking.


So today I'm talking about Blue Lizard® Australian Sunscreen and my cute cooler I just decorated with vinyl. Now we're extra ready for picnics this summer.
