Peacocks and cream do go together :)

Apples Are Roses

Apples are a member of the Rose family (along with apricots and almonds.)

An apple a day is good for you as it offers a variety of health benefits.

So, the old saying is actually quite true!

Eat one fresh & whole or enjoy this tasty fruit in one of these recipes:

Apple Crisp, Apple Turnovers, Chickpea Apple Pecan Salad, Fennel & Apple Salad

No Charm Equal To . . .

Did you know? Pin & Tack's arts & craft challenge - Craft It Up - ends on Friday.

It's an easy, peasy challenge 'cause you can create ANYTHING as long as it includes a heart or "love."

If the upcoming big L day is not inspiring enough, here is a digital creation for you . . .

I used digital papers from Jennifer Scraps, which are FREE for anyone. The best part - at least for myself - is the photos used: Apple Red Rose Thumb Tacks.

With every purchase of these or anything else in the shop, Animal Place will receive $1 from it. But you have other options to support them. Donate directly or share a craft in the challenge as every entry earns them $0.10.

I have also entered this creation into the following challenges: {PIN}spirational Challenges & Mojo Monday. Pop by there for additional crafty inspiration.

Blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

Search: Red

When you enter "red" into the search, this is only a few delights that you will find. Red is a stand alone color, but it works with so many others. It's power, love & fun all wrapped up into one fabulous color.

{Clockwise, left to right: 1. Clothes Pins,  2. Chalkboard, 3. Magnets, 4. Thumb Tacks, 5. Clothesline, 6. Home Decor}

When you choose these red items, you support all of the animals at Animal Place. They will receive $1 from each listing sold, which will provide food, shelter and safety.

Blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

{PIN}spirational Challenge #28: Photo - Red Jacket With Pink Roses

How do you turn a rustic jean jacket into something sweet & fashionable? Dye it red and embellish with pink fabric roses - Isn't that a wonderful idea?

This week at {PIN}spirational Challenges we challenge you to create something being inspired by this photo.  There is lots to draw from, so I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Our sponsor is Folded Paper, so definitely stop by and share a photo inspired creation with us :)

For my creation, I used this fantastic paper with wood grain on it. Pink rickrack stretches across the card dotted by velvet red bows. To finish the look, I embellished the bows with big bold buttons tied with pink thread.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #26: Photo - Maple Tree In Autumn

Welcome, Autumn!

We are celebrating this beautiful season with a gorgeous tree for inspiration at {PIN}spirational Challenges.

Our sponsor is the wonderful Stitchy Bear Stamps. While I haven't used one of their digis in this creation, I have in the past (click here) & will definitely be doing so in the future.

Are you inspired? If so, please share your creation with us. I can't wait to see it!

 This creation is all about using what I have.

The only item that is "new" is the grosgrain ribbon, which is my new obsession!

The polka dot chipboard flower (right side) is at least 3 years old! Talk about hoarding :)

Have you been using up your stash lately? What is the oldest item you have in your supplies?
