I've been following a few graphic designer blogs lately and have been inspired by them and Pic Monkey to try my hand at making more prints. Two of my favorite design bloggers right now are By Dawn Nicole and Craftberry Bush.

If you don't know Dawn Nicole by now, then you are missing out. She is so much more than a graphic designer too, she has awesome DIY projects and recipes on her blog too! Plus, she just started featuring a free print of the week, how cute is this "If you're a bird, I'm a bird." print inspired by The Notebook!! 

I love everything she does and posts on her blog and social media pages, always so inspirational. Be sure to stop by and tell her Diana said hello!

I didn't discover Lucy at Craftberry Bush until these gorgeous pillows started popping up in home tour blog posts during the Christmas holiday season. I was obsessed with little vintage cars with Christmas trees on them at the time, and well you know the deal with my owl love! 

So when I saw them I had to track down who made them and how I could find out more about the designer!!

And now Lucy has done it again, I think she knows about my obsessions! First the vintage Christmas tree car, the owl, and now ARROWS!!! I need that arrow pillow in my life! Stop by her blog and her shop to see more prints and home decor designs..she has more than just pillows. 

PS, right now she is featuring the arrow print and a February desktop calendar for free for a limited time! 

Here are the three prints I put together using Pic Monkey, I hope you like them as much as I do! 

I hope you have a great day, thanks for stopping by! 

Valentine's Day Printables for Your Guy!

I shared a few Valentine's Day printables on Monday at the end of my heart shaped treats round up post, but kept thinking about what I would want to print and give to my guy. I love the heart prints I made, but they were more for Valentine's Day decor. 

So back to Pic Monkey I headed to make a few more prints, I think these turned out a bit more guy friendly! I would love to hear which print you would share with your guy! 

My guy's beard isn't as long as this one, but this was my favorite beard graphic on Pic Monkey! 

Superman or Batman? 

I love both movies, but I'm more of a Batman girl...actually make that an X-Men girl, but Pic Monkey didn't have that symbol!  

Kiss, Kiss! Have fun and spice up your Valentine's Day with this print!! 

Would your guy like any of these prints? Maybe print them all and hide them around the house for him to find! 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Heart Shaped Treats for Your Valentine

Happy Monday! Are you planning fun activities for Valentine's Day yet? Maybe a special date night without the kids?  

The day of love tends to put a lot of pressure on the guys, but it really shouldn't be all about us ladies. They deserve just as much love on Valentine's Day as we do and we all know the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! So, I did a little searching on Pinterest and found a few fun heart-shaped treats for your Valentine that won't disappoint. 

1. Raspberry Moscato Cocktail

So this drink may be a little more fruity than most guys like, but the idea here is to make the heart shaped ice cubes for his favorite cocktail. I think this recipe from Create Celebrate Explore looks amazing, and who knows your guy might like it too! 

2. Heart Shaped Cake

No need to rush to the store for a heart shaped baking pan the night before Valentine's Day! I love this trick and may even test it out using red velvet cake mix. It's a fun idea for Valentine's Day and for your sweetheart's birthday as well! 

3. Peek-a-boo Pound Cake

How adorable are these peek-a-boo hearts? I wonder is this would also work with banana bread, one of my guy's favorites! 

4. Marble Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

These marble red velvet cheesecake brownie hearts from The Novice Chef look more like art than food! Either way, I bet they taste just as amazing as they look. 

5. Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

My husband is always making breakfast for me; pancakes, waffles, bacon and eggs...okay now I'm hungry for breakfast food! This Valentine's Day I really should return the favor and make him these heart shaped pancakes. You can use a mold like Gina from Skinnytaste did or use a squeeze bottle to squirt the pancake mix into a heart shape onto the pan.

Would any of these recipe ideas satisfy your guy on Valentine's Day? What are you planning for the big day of love?

Wait, don't leave just yet, I have a fun Valentine's Day print for you... 

Have you heard of PicMonkey? It's a Photo editor website where you can crop, write text, and create different effects on your images. But that's not all, you can also create your own fun print...

I made this one for us, but made a blank one for you to fill out with your own initials or whatever you'd like; your kids' names, the word love or forever n always, the choice is yours! 

Just right click, save as and then open it up in PicMonkey and select text. There are tons of font options too, I used ecuyer dax font.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
