A Hoot of an Adventure!

Happy June, y'all!  
With Summer and camping weather around the corner,
I couldn't wait to break out the new 
"Adventure Collection" by Authentique Paper
and make something to hang in our camper!

 I had this adorable owl cutting file on hand from Miss Kate Cuttables and I knew that I
wanted to use it in some form or fashion. I cut him from some Core'dinations cardstock
and a polka dot paper (Seasons: Autumn Collection).

The cutting file also comes with a tree branch, which I cut from the woodgrain paper. 
 The leaves were cut from two colors of green found in the Adventure 6X6 Paper Pad. 
 I also die-cut a couple of oval shapes from two of the paper pad papers and then 
added one of the sentiments with foam.

 I cut the base of the hanger using a scrolled album die by Top Dog Dies. 
I added some machine and hand-stitching to give a more homespun feel. Two holes 
were punched at the top and some faux burlap ribbon by May Arts was tied for the hanger.

There will be lots more to see of "Adventure" on the Authentique Blog :)
Have a great weekend!

Let's BBQ (and a recipe!)

I'm all about quick gifts...they're a must-have,
especially because I wait until the last minute
 OR simply forget until it's too late!

For my Top Dog Dies project today, I have an 
easy gift idea for the grillin' or BBQ lover
(another cool idea for Father's Day too!)

 
 I've paired up the Apron Card Die with the new "Adventure Collection" by
Authentique Paper.  

The 6X6 "Adventure" Paper Pad is really nice to have on hand when it comes
to cutting with the Apron Finishers Dies.

I also used the banner die from the Mason Jar Finisher Die Set
Above is a look at the card without the recipe tucked inside.

To your bottle of BBQ sauce, add a typed out or handwritten recipe to
the inside of the pocket.  I found this one on the Sweet Baby Ray's website:

BABY RAY BITES
Ingredients
1 bottle of Original Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
1 lb. of bacon slices (cut each slice in half)
1 can of chunk pineapple (drain juice completely)
1 box of wooden tooth picks
Directions
Wrap a piece of bacon around a pineapple chunk and secure it with a
 wooden toothpick. Place each appetizer in a shallow baking dish.
Brush each appetizer with SBR BBQ sauce. (Be generous!)
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until bacon is cooked completely.
Serve in baking dish if you wish. Serve warm, not hot.

Pair up the sauce with a nice set of grilling utensils, an apron or
add a gift card to their favorite outdoor's man shopping place!
