Today I will teach you how to become a Fashion Blogger.  I totally think I missed my calling in life and you will completely see this in the pictures below.

Yes, that would be a high end fashion model… You don’t think?

My son actually took these pictures and we figured out two things after he took them.
1- He should be a high end fashion photographer (attention attention)
2- He know’s all about shutter speed (or this was just luck)

Who’s ready to see the REAL way to take pictures of “bags” for your BLERG.

Check out my tie dyed shirt I did for Old Navy and this canvas bag for I love to Create. Click on the links and you will see the FULL tutorial.

EXAMPLE 1: STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH BAG SLIGHTLY COVERING THE TOP PART OF YOUR LEGS.

CAREFUL NOW THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS. fashion picturesEXAMPLE 3: STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TOUCH THE BAG WITH ONE HAND LIKE YOU ARE PROTECTING IT FROM ALIENS WHILE OTHER HAND IS BENT AND SEXY. P.S. DON’T FORGET TO BEND ONE KNEE, NOT TWO. JUST ONE. how to pose for picturesEXAMPLE 4: STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND JUMP STRAIT UP WITH KNEES BENT.  REMEMBER WE STILL NEED TO LOOK WHIMSICAL AND SEXY ALL WHILE KEEPING THE BAG IN THE PICTURE.

Today it’s all about my trip to Old Navy and this fabulous Powder Dyed Shirt. Let’s be real, when you add Tie-Dye to anything you get a bundle of happiness. Here is PROOF!Powder Dyed ShirtWhen I was asked by I love to Create to make a fabulous DIY with some of Old Navy’s new line of spring clothes I was JUMPING FOR JOY, literally. I had no clue what I was planning on creating until I walked in the store. I think for a minute I was upset I only had to create ONE thing once my eyes saw the new spring line. I know you will love this powder dyed technique I used so let’s check it out. kBe sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it’s about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong
-Adriana Lima

As you can see there were so many choices. I knew I wanted crisp and bold so I ended up going with this “Textured-Dobby Shirt”. Since I am using Tulip Tie-Dye I made sure the shirt was 100% cotton. I almost bought these white pants and pink button down but I changed my mind in the end.

Wahoo! Time to check out and CREATE! Yep, you see that black and white striped ball? I can’t wait to show you what I created with this. 11.jpg
You will need:
* Tulip Tie-Dye
Women’s Textured-Dobby Shirts
whiteshirt
I am using the Mini Tie-Dye Kit. DSC_0139As you can see the bottles have powder inside of them already. We will not fill the bottles with water for this project. DSC_0141STEP ONE: Fill a bowl with water and wet your shirt. learn to tie dye
STEP TWO: Twist water out of shirt and lay it down on a clean surface, flat and unbuttoned. Lay your shirt on a garbage bag if you can’t find a clean spot.

STEP THREE: Remove cap from bottle and lightly shake bottle over wet shirt. The powder will slowly start coming out of the bottle. kids crafts
I used all of the colors in the pack. If you are not a fan of bright colors you can use one or two colors. This technique looks great with a single color or multiple colors. how to mix dyeI love how all of the colors start bleeding together. If you know me then you know bright it right! mixing colorsYou want to let the powder sit on the wet shirt for a couple of hours. The longer it sits the brighter the colors will be. confetti tie dye
I simply love the dye that was left behind. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. DSC_0202After a few hours I rinsed my shirt under cool running water then washed it separately. WOWZERS! I am so happy with the way it turned out. DSC_0193old navy tie dyed shirtDSC_0195

You’re a marshmallow. Soft and sweet and when you get heated up you go all gooey and delicious.”- Janet Evanovich
COTTON CANDY MARSHMALLOW POPS

These yummy goodies are all cozy in my warm belly right now. Well I did bring some to my god child next door and she walked around with one in each hand saying they were DELICIOUS over and over!

If you are wondering how I came up with these well I will be honest and tell you I was craving ice cream with that magic shell yumminess but I didn’t have either so I improvised. SORTA. I ironically had a bag of cotton candy laying around (not really it was from Valentines Day)… I hope my son doesn’t read this post, hehe.

chocolate covered marshmallowsEveryone needs a little cotton candy in their lives, right!cotton candy foodWe can’t leave out MARSHMALLOWS! They are the best part of anything, right!marshmallow pops|1| First thing you will do is grab a paper straw (mine are from Michaels) and jab it through a soft white marshmallow. easy marshmallow pops|2| Grab some chocolate from your grocery store’s baking section (the kind you pop in the microwave). Listen when you are on the go this stuff makes your life amazing!  Make sure to read the directions. easy chocolate cake pops|3| Take your marshmallow and dip it half way into the gooey melted choco-late.how to melt chocolate|4| While your chocolate is still wet sprinkle it with sprinkles. If you don’t like sprinkles then you can leave them plain!

|5| The BEST part of this pop is the topping. Take a little ball of cotton candy and roll it up with your fingers {of course clean ones} then place them on top of your wet chocolate. If you roll your cotton candy balls ahead of time it makes it really easy to grab them and pop them on the wet chocolate! MARSHMALLOW POPS|5| Time to EAT! Tip of adice: I placed mine in the freezer over night bc I personally like the texture of frozen marshmallows. If you have never tried it, you should!colorfull marshmallow pops

Seriously Y’all. Today I will show you how to Dye Easter Eggs, just wait —–> Not just eggs but Tie-Dyed Eggs. I am totally obsessed with tie-dye. You would think I am a born again 15 year old who’s parents traveled in a camper and lived for Woodstock or just wood. Wait, they did.

Ya know this craft is perfect for grown adults (who simply are finding anything to bring them back to their younger years,yo) or itty bitty kiddos. You could kill 2 birds with 1 stone and do them WITH your kiddos!

So I write for I Love to Create, twice a month and I get to actually do FUN stuff like this for my JOBBBY JOB! I know. You are totally shaking your head right now saying “ughhhh I wanna dye eggs and listen to loud music all day”… TRUST, it took me a long time and lot’s of hard work to get this egg dying job. Check out all of my crafts that I have made for them.

Thankful? YOU BETCHA BOTTOM DOLLAR. There is a special technique I used on these eggs so make sure to click this link <——- to see the magic trick.

How to Dye Easter EggsMy fur child got jealous when I was making these eggs and just begged for some tie-dye on her pure white fur. Don’t worry it’s all NON TOXIC! That alone rocks!

I posted a picture of Ceaux Ceaux (co-co) on my Instagram and everyone loved it. Are you on Instagram? Go follow me and get a glimpse into my fun and adventurous daily life.

Roses are red violets are blue roses are pretty and so are you… Well if that wasn’t cheesy then I don’t know what is! I ran across these paper roses the other day at Michael’s Arts & Crafts and fell in love. They were in the bins right by the register for $1. One stinking dollar! So what is a DIY girl to do? Of course buy them. Wanna see what I made with them, let’s go! Check out these other Valentines Ideas I posted. Paper Flowers 11Paper Roses | Magnets | Glue Gun | Suction Cups Clips | Paper Clips
paper roses suppliesThe first thing you will do is take the rose out of the pack, smell it, adore it, kiss it (only if you are a real paper freak) and then realize it’s a paper rose and it does not smell. Teehee! paper flowers diyThe paper flowers peel off of the pack real easy. Once you take one off add a drop of hot glue to the back of the rose then gently place a paper clip on the back of the rose. Make sure you put the paper clip facing the correct direction before you stick it in the hot glue. You will do the same thing for the suction cups, clips and magnets. paper clip diyDSC_0888diy stationerypaper flowers tutorialOnce your suction cup hangers are done you can stick them on a mirror or window to display these beauties. I like to hang fun things from them that make me smile. Paper Rosesdiy magnetslearn to make paper flowers

I am simply delighted with this easy tutorial and I hope you make tons of fun rose magnets! These will dress up any fridge or filing cabinets in 5 minutes.

Just have fun with them and remember you can practically glue a flower rose on anything to dress it up! Don’t forget thumb tacks!

WHICH ONE OF THESE IS YOUR FAVORITE ONE?
