CHUBBY GIRL DELIGHT: Croissant S'Mores

It's Memorial Day weekend, which means you're camping or staying home. Regardless, treats are in order. Here is a gourmet twist to the classic combo - s'mores. Talk about taking it up a notch? That's what we did.

Ingredients:
Croissants (regular or mini)
Marshmallows
Hershey bars
Foil
Oven or grill

Slice the croissants in half.

Place them in the foil and heat at 350 degrees in your oven for about 10 minutes. you want them to be crispy and flaky.
OR
place them wrapped in foil on top of the grill to heat up. They need to be warm enough to melt the chocolate and marshmallows!

Remove from oven and layer the goodies! Cut in small pieces and serve!

Fabric-covered Mouse Pad



When you attend a lot of business events like I do, the promo swag begins to add up. Sure I love branded mouse pads as much as the next chica, but I also have an overflow of fabric to whittle down from my stash. That’s when my  mind goes to word on finding ways to make good of the excess. Hello fabric-covered mouse pads!

DIY Instagram Canvas Prints

We all love Instagram, right? All of life’s little moments captured and cataloged right at your fingertips! But sometimes, certain pictures are meant to be hung on a wall for all the (non-Instagram) world to see. Here’s a super easy way to do that!

While on the Crafty Chica Art Cruise last month, Craft Attitude send a package of their product for each of the cruisers. Craft Attitude is a film where you can use your InkJet printer to print pictures and then use a glue stick to apply to a surface. Image transfer done easy!
Supplies: 4×4″ canvases (they work best for the size), Craft AttitudeAleene’s® Original Tacky Glue Sticks and Collage Pauge® Instant Decoupage™ if you want to add a top coat.

 Size each photo to 4×4″ at 200 dpi (high res). TIP: If your photos have words, or you want them to look EXACTLY like your IG feed, then make sure to flip your image so it prints backwards. Insert a sheet of Craft Attitude in your printer and print. Cut out each picture.

 Now you need to coat your canvas with the Aleene’s Max Tacky Glue Stick. Generously, make sure you cover ever millimeter.

 Remove the backing paper from the sheet of film. Place your image face down (ink side down) on the canvas, and then burnish it in using your finger.
