Art Journaling 3

-

 Hi everybody! It has been an art journaling journey hasn’t it! Well, your beautiful book is finished and I am so proud of all of you. 

But, wait! There’s more! Let’s customize that bland cover and spine by adding our own flair! 

Here is a before picture of my cover: 


Boring, right? 

Here’s how I made a homemade cover:

I took a blank piece of sketching paper and covered it in watercolor. 

I think this would make a great cover. 

But it still needs a little something. So I took a wet paintbrush and wiped over the painted surface. Then I used a paper towel to help blend the colors. Finally, I applied glue stick to the back and attached the paper to my cover. I ended by writing the title in marker on the paper. 

On the spine I attached some ribbon. 

Watch the video below to see the completed project! ☺️ Thanks for creating with me. Love y’all!

 Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been posting in a while. Things have gotten crazy. But I am back to blogging and being my creative self! So I started a makeup challenge. I love doing my makeup in the morning before school. I went to a website where you can make a  wheel  and add makeup looks to it and spin it around to let it pick a look at random. So I will be doing these looks and posting tutorials on here as well as posting some other content. It sure feels good to be back, and I hope you’ll follow along on my journey with me also.  The wheel selected colorful makeup, which should be fun! Watch the tutorial below to see how to do your own colorful makeup ❤️🩷✨ It’s actually not really a tutorial and more a crazy video of me running around trying to put on makeup at 1 AM. I will be showing some finished photos below. To keep anonymous I’ve just done some close ups of different aspects of the makeup look. I can’t wait to see what the wheel chooses next. This was quite th...

Best Biscotti Recipe

-
 I love making biscotti. We always eat them up within three days! Here is the base, simple recipe. But you can add anything you’d like, and experiment. My experiments have included toasted coconut, homemade brown sugar streusel topping, dried cherry with candied orange bits,  and chocolate pistachio. Have fun!  Preheat the oven to 300.  Toast up your nuts of choice while the oven is preheating. Mix your nuts with 2 cups of white flour, a cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, half a stick of cold cubed butter, 3 eggs, and a tablespoon of veggie oil. Add any other mix ins. Shape your biscotti like a mound. Bake for 25 minutes, then let cool. Slice your loaf into the biscotti, and bake for nine minutes. Flip your biscotti over and bake for nine more minutes before letting it cool for at least 15 min.  The biscotti might look a touch soft when they come out, but will harden almost instantly while being allowed t...
