2015 Trend Watch - Shredded Clothes

Although this style doesn't sit well with just everyone, I like the DIY look of these items. I could see shredding/distressing your own clothes for little to no money at all! I definitely recommend starting some tests on thrifted clothes or ones that are already ripped up just so you don't ruin anything important.

Holidays with Pinterest

We got our second dusting of snow today. Last night it was just a little bit. But, tonight, it snowed for quite a while, and it's beautiful outside! I hope it sticks around tomorrow, but we'll see. 
My Holiday Pinterest Board is shaping up quite nicely!!

Chocolate Dipped Halloween Marshmallows Recipe

Yum! These Halloween Marshmallows turned out so tasty! Chocolate always compliments marshmallow flavor, and the sprinkles were a nice addition, too.
I used jumbo marshmallows for these, but you can also just use the big ones, if you wanted to make more than just a few.
Ingredients Include: 
5-6 Jumbo Marshmallows
1/2 C. Chocolate Chips
A Dash of Sprinkles
1/2 C. Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Festive Ghost Picks

Instructions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 

Melt chocolate in a 4C. Pyrex measuring cup. Let them cool slightly, so the marshmallows don't melt. 

Grab a marshmallow, and dip it into the center of the cup of melted chocolate with your hand.
Make sure the chocolate only goes a little over 1/2 way up the marshmallow.

Now, to remove the marshmallow from the chocolate, insert a ghost pick into the center of the marshmallow and pull the mallow out of the cup (it's a bit tricky). This will become the bottom of the treat, so don't worry about the little mark the pick makes. Wipe off any chocolate drips. 

Hold the treat in your hand, white side down. Remove the ghost pick from the mallow (keep the picks) and set the treat (white side down) onto the parchment paper/baking tray. 

While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the tops of the treats with a few (or more) sprinkles.
Also, insert the ghost picks into the center of the tops of the treats. Make sure they are straight up and down for the best look.

Place in fridge for 20 minutes, and they are ready to eat!

Embroidered Pocket T-Shirts

Embroidered Pockets with Quotes are just adorable! What a fun gift idea for your friends, sisters, and more. You could feature a thoughtful quote, or one that is just clever and sarcastic. This trend has tumblr written all over it :)
A Beautiful Mess featured this tutorial, so you can even make one yourself. It looks pretty easy and this project is something you could do while watching TV or while on a road trip. 
And these embroidered pocket tees are cute styled with overalls.

How To Create Textured Text in Photoshop

I wanted to share a quick and fun project with you. Here, I will show you how easy it is to create textures text in Photoshop. See more creative inspirations on Pinterest. Click on the images below to see them larger. 

Create a 7" x 5" document in Photoshop. Draw / drag a text box the same size as the document. 
Type any word or phrase. I chose to type love in "A Gentle Touch" font in 300pt.

Next, open the image you would like to use as a texture. Drag it into your original text document. Make sure this texture layer is on top of the text later. 


Now, click on the texture layer. In the drop down menu, choose Layer > Create Clipping Mask. 


Instantly, you will see the text cut out of the texture! 


Have a lovely night!
