Mixed Media Floral Suite Collection

 Making cards doesn't always have to be hard. Sometimes just having dsp paper, cardstock and a simple stamp can create a beautiful card. This suite happens to be one of my favorites. I love the variety of colors that coordinate. It has so many stamping and die cutting options. And the 3D Folder is the absolute best!! I chose Boho Blue Cardstock to back this card but there are so many colors that you could choose from that would coordinate as well.

Recipe Wednesday - Pulled Pork

 My brother and sister-in-law make the best pulled pork. I'm going to share their recipe.



Rub the pork tenderloin with Brown Sugar Bourbon Seasoning. Place in a crockpot.

Add a cut up onion
You need apx. 1/2 cup liquid- using Apple Cider Vinegar, Water & Liquid Smoke. (I only use a tad of liquid smoke - a little goes a long way)
Cook in crockpot on low 4-5 hours or 250 degrees in the oven.
Once it's cooked drain the liquid off. Pull the pork apart and mix in your favorite BBQ Sauce. We use Sweet Baby Rays Sweet / Spicy.
Throw it on a bun with your favorite coleslaw. You won't be disappointed.
