Summerween is here, and I couldn't be more excited about it! To help make my house look a little more festive for this new "season", I drew up some ideas for a new piece of decor.

Use Ikonart to create a pair of eye-catching Neon Leopard Print Painted Sneakers!


Neon Leopard Print Painted Sneakers

To say I was obsessed with Lisa Frank in the 90s is an understatement. I was absolutely in LOVE with that bright-colored aesthetic, and still am today. In fact, I decided that fun shoes can be for adults, too, and made myself a pair of Lisa-inspired neon leopard print painted sneakers! While this can all be done by hand, I took a shortcut and used my Ikonart kit to save time and sanity! I couldn't be happier with how these shoes turned out, and my little heart is just so excited to wear them everywhere I go!!

Oone of my favorite aunts always brings a batch of Scotcheroos to our family gatherings, and I just can't get enough of them! Scotcheroos is not only fun to say, but it's a simple no-bake recipe that combines Rice Krispies, peanut butter, corn syrup, chocolate, and butterscotch to create a something similar to a Rice Krispie treat, but a lot more chewy and packed with peanut butter flavor. It's a great treat to bring to all kinds of get-togethers or to just share with the family at home.
