ps-imadethis: You don’t need yellow diamonds to let your inner light shine…a little bit of epoxy is reason enough to add a sparkling addition to your batch of spring baubles!  Add a sweet accent to your look with a simple yet bold pop of glittery gold.  Get on board and see for yourself why all that glitters is glam.     To create, mix the two-part epoxy clay with your fingers.  Find a setting that suits your style - we opted for a multi-prong setting .  (The setting we used is available in store only- reference item # 1012/G).  Roll out small balls of the epoxy clay, and cover with a dusting of fine glitter. Use glitter to cover the entire surface of each “gem” and dust off the excess.  Allow to harden (approximately 45 mins) and attach to a chain.      P.S.- CLICK HERE FOR MORE EPOXY CLAY IDEAS!

ps-imadethis: Without “ART” the EARTH would just be “EH”.  Artists who inspire create so much desire, and that’s just what Piet Mondrian’s contemporary color block creations have done.  His renowned primary colored pieces have served as inspiration for YSL’s iconic Day Dress to this current season’s Céline clutches.  This DIY is in the bag when you combine classic colors on a cute clutch!   To create:  Trace the outline of your bag onto a sheet of plain paper or parchment paper using a ruler.  Cut out and place on the backside of the vinyl material and trace.  Use a marker to trace the outline of each of your color block patterns on the reverse side of each piece of vinyl.  Adhere sections to the back using fabric glue.  P.S.- Make sure you place the top piece of vinyl on last to give it a real overlapping effect.  Use a glue gun to secure a hardware accent and voila! P.S.- CLICK HERE to watch the DIY how-to video

qualityrecipes: Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Breadyield: 2 loaves Ingredients: 1 cup Warm Water1 Tablespoon Honey1 envelope Active Dry Yeast (2 1/4 Teaspoons)1 teaspoon Salt3 cups Bread FlourOlive Oil, For Greasing Surfaces⅓ pounds Sharp White Cheddar, Or Any Other Cheese You Prefer½ cups Garlic Butter Directions: In a large bowl, stir water, honey and yeast together. Let yeast proof 5 minutes. Once you know yeast is active, stir in salt and the flour in 1/4 cup increments. If you are using a stand mixer, be sure to not increase your speed higher than a 2 or ‘stir’. Once dough starts pulling away from the sides and the bowl seems to be pretty clean, set a timer for 5 minutes and walk away. Let the machine knead the dough. After 5 minutes, dough should be smooth and tacky but when touched shouldn’t leave any dough on your fingers. Grease the bowl and the dough. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size. Punch down dough and cut into two equal portions. Form into two long baguettes the length of the cookie sheet. I like to twist mine because it looks cool, but it also keeps its length and doesn’t shrink. Cover with plastic wrap and rise 30 minutes. Start to preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place dough close to the oven where it’s nice and warm. Once oven is preheated, remove plastic wrap, from the dough reduce oven to 350F, put the bread into the oven and bake 20 minutes. In the meantime, slice the cheese into thin slices and melt the butter. Pull loaves of bread out of the oven after 20 minutes and brush with the melted garlic butter. Bake another 5-7 minutes or until bread begins to turn a golden brown. Remove from oven and cool 15 minutes. Cut 1-inch slices 3/4′s of the the way through the loaves. Brush garlic butter in between each slice and fill with a slice of cheese. Bake another 3-5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.
