It’s blazing outside, so many pools closed. So, I made these yummy popsicles for the family (BUT I’m gonna include a boozy version for any adult that wishes for a bit more. You’re welcome)
1 C frozen pineapple
1 C frozen mango
2 C coconut water
blend, pour into molds, freeze – and presto!
Boozy version: instead of coconut water, add 1/2 C tequila and 1/2 C lime juice)
Enjoy!!
I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.
My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.
Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks
And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
