Step by Step Guide - Hello Autumn

When you feel the summer's last, loveliest smile blowing through your hair, you know it's time that time of year. Remind yourself of all the things you love about the season with a great big "hello" to autumn.

If you don't know, I LOVE Fall!! It's my favorite Season of the year! And it's one of my favorite times to decorate too! This is a great transfer that can be used in many different ways.

Want to make this? I'll show you how!

Supplies

-Hello Autumn Transfer - 18" x 18"

-Any 18" round surface - This surface is an old Chalk Couture Surface - You could use Couture Boutique™ Gold Frame (18", Round)

-Chalkology™ Paste Bright White

-Chalkology™ Paste Shimmer Copper

-Fuzzing Cloth (12" x 18")

-Stir Stick

-1 small Squeegee

-1 Angled Squeegee

**Best part about these supplies is that one you buy them, you can use them over and over with other projects!

Step 1

Get everything you need into your work area. Open up and stir your pastes so they are ready to go.

Step 2

Fuzz your transfer. This is a large transfer so it is easier to lay the transfer upside down and take the fuzzing cloth and lay it on top of the transfer. Hold it down while switching sides during fuzzing.

Step 3

Lay your transfer down in the position you would like it on the surface of choice.

Step 4

Start with the Bright White Paste and cover all the words. Even all the words that are in the border.

Step 5

Paste the wheat piece in Shimmer Copper Paste.

Step 6

Remove the transfer and either place in water bath or clean immediately. Once clean let dry. Once dry, please backer back on the sticky side of the transfer.

Viola! You are have new piece to hand in your house and make to have everyone feel welcome while visiting your home!

Keto Pizza Bites- easy to make in just minutes!

Since starting Keto again, I have tried to venture out into trying different things. Different meals, snacks and drinks... It's not always easy to find good Keto recipes. Pinterest is full of them, but you have try to them out to see if its a good fit for you. I once made these "yummy easy 2 ingredient pancakes" and they were gross! And then worst part of that is using ingredients that are expensive. I hate to waste them!

But I am going to share one of my go to snacks that I make almost every week! Pizza Bites! These are so easy and I can just bag them up and take them to work!

Ingredients and Items needed:

Mexican shredded cheese mix

Pepperoni

Parchment Paper

Baking Sheet

Paper towels

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Grab your baking sheet and an piece of parchment paper big enough to cover the who baking sheet. Make sure it over laps a little of the sides. This will help making clean up easy!

Step 2

Grab your Mexican shredded cheese mix and make flat 11/2 - 2 inch round portions. Make as many of those as you can without them touching.

Step 3

Place a pepperoni on top of each cheese portion.

Step 4

Put pan into the oven for about 5 minutes. You want them to just start to brown on the edges.

Step 5

Once cooled just a bit, remove them from the parchment paper and lay them out on to a plate with paper towels. They will seem flexible right now. I like my more chrispy so I leave them out but covered for a few hours, sometimes overnight. Once some of the grease from the cheese has soaked up, they will be more like a chip!

Then I place into bags and have snacks available for work!

Please let me know if you make and how everyone likes it!

DIY Cook Book Stand- My new fall favorite home decor!

When I saw the Pumpkin Patch transfer, I fell in love! I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I wanted to put in on everything - pillows, shirts, wall art- and everything else! So when I found this Vintage looking tablet stand - I knew it was going to be perfect! Best part is that when I saw it, i didn't know it was a tablet stand, I just thought was a cook book stand. I can use it for both!

Well I want too show you how to make it! It was so easy and only took 10 minutes to make - including clean up!

Supplies Needed:

Galvanized Metal Tablet Stand- From Hobby Lobby

Pumpkin Patch Transfer - B Size

Step 1

Gather all your supplies. You are going to want to have them all in arms length. Stir your paste - you don't want to have to stop after your 1st color to stir the next.

Step 2

Fuzz fuzz FUZZ your transfer! You want to make sure its not too sticky and have a hard time removing it from the stand.

Step 3

Apply your transfer on the stand how you would like it. I made sure to have it go more to the top since I didn't want to not be able to see the bottom part of the transfer. I didn't want to lose out on the cute arrow!

Step 4

Using the Shimmer Shadow Paste, Paste the top words and bottom arrow 1st. Put any extra pasta back into the jar. Use the Paste and Pull Method. Lift up just long enough to dry and carefully lay them back down.

Step 5

Using the Orange Peel Paste, Paste the entire pumpkin area. Put any extra pasta back into the jar.

Step 6

Lift the entire transfer and place into water bath for a short time or clean immediately. I like to clean all my transfers with a Board Eraser. It works like a charm and make the clean up process to easy! Once clean, lay flat with sticky side up. Once dry, Place backer paper onto the transfer.

You are all done and ready to show off your new Kitchen Stand! Use it for a Cook Book or a Tablet, either way, it will make your kitchen feel like Fall!

Is this something you would put in your kitchen? Let me know!
