Have you noticed all of the darling stick pins that are included with each of our collections?  We'd be lying if we didn't tell you how much we adore them.  We thought it would be a fun post for our Biker Chicks Heather and Corrie to just "Put a Pin in It."   Check out what they created with the new Just Because collection and stick pins.

Just Because Stick Pins

Family Reward Jar by Heather Leopard

I created this Family Activity jar as a way to reward our kids for good behavior, grades or whatever we feel that deserve to be rewarded for.

I used the stick pins as the foundation for creating the activity strips by simply adhering them between two strips of paper and then decorating them with chipboard, twine and bits from the paper crafting kit. Each strip has a different activity that I know all of the family members will enjoy.

Of course, we need a cute jar to hold the pin strips in so I decorated a mason jar using paper, chipboard, and more bits from the paper crafting kit. Of course, the smaller "happiness" jar on the front had to be filled with faux flowers, made from the stick pins.  Now I just need to make more activity pins that can be switched out each month so that we have different options of things to do, while creating new memories together.
