Brown Sugar, Figs and my Niece...a few of my favorite things.


PTI Blog Hop and Lauren hosted a challenge with her Timeless Templates. I used one of her free templates Stocking Stuffer.




I wanted something cute and springy to hold Erica's birthday present so I used this holiday template to create more of a Rain Boot look.


Lauren asked us to use inspiration from Bath & Body Works signature collection. I love and use the Brown Sugar and Fig body wash and I adore the Brown and Pink color combo. Speaking of figs, fig season is not to far off here in Cali. It begins in late summer and lasts into October. I {heart} figs.




I used the label as inspiration for the layout of the front of this rain boot too. From the top spout represented by SU ribbon, the three lines of text where I used SU Rub-Ons, two primary figs replaced on my rain boot by a flower and bird from PTIs Anniversary Set, and I embossed a background with Ranger Bridal Embossing Powder to represent the label on the back of the bottle of body wash that shows through the front. I really love how this rain boot came together.






The DP is from SU and I am pretty sure it's Tea Party; it was a scrap and I cannot recall.


Love you Mum.
