{{one pan dish}} recipe scrapbook

I love Elle's Studio "Let's Eat" collection. I decided to start a scrapbook of some of our favorite recipes, with pictures of my little family cooking it or around the table.

Here's my first one! This is a Pinterest inspired "one pan dish" - sausage and veggies. You can find the recipe and video HERE. As the journaling says: easy and delish. Best of all, it's pretty healthy and lasts for several days!

I am entering this into Elle's Studio's National Scrapbook Day celebration for the challenge "document a favorite food".

Have a great week!

Hunting, Fishing, {{LOVING}} Everyday!

If you're a country music fan, you know this one:

And it was our summer anthem :) I knew it had to be the title of my daughter's first time fishing.

I know I'm partial.. but isn't she just the cutest?! I used the sketch at Elle's Studio 

and their adorable "Little Moments" collection.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! TGIF! Have a good weekend.

{ScrapRoom} Elle's Studio: Little Moments

Happy Sunday!

I am sharing a recipe for the next layout I created at The ScrapRoom blog:

It uses the Elle's Studio "Little Moments" collection from the April Flavors of the Month kit. I documented our recent road trip to North Carolina to visit my husband's best friend and family. It was so fun I wanted to use all the candids I took on a 2 page layout.

A few close ups:

Isn't that twine so fun with the pink,black, and white?!

Head over to the Scrap Room blog to see how I created this layout!

Have a great week! :)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I'm so excited to start another year of Project Life.   Even though I'm still working on my 2013 and 2014 albums, I'm starting 2015 and making a resolution to document the previous week each week. As I have time, I'll go back and do a past page. Almost 2 years behind, why don't I throw in the towel you may ask? This is why:

As I'm trying to take advantage of Elmo's hypnosis and photograph my Week 1 layout, my daughter wedges herself between me and the table and SQUEALS in delight when she sees a photo of her and her daddy. Printed out, embellished, and journaled for her to trace with her tiny finger. That's why.

Remind me of this reasoning when I'm, somehow, again, fallen 6 more months behind, k? Deal.

Here's my Week 1 page, minus cute 18 month old. It's one page because Jan 1st fell on a Thursday.

My girl really misses playing outside everyday. On a day where it wasn't so windy and brisk, we bundled up and went to the playground for a 1/2 hour. She was in heaven and even climbed the steps to the slide by herself for the first time (standing up).

I *had* to print out some of my favorite Facebook pics of my team winning the wildcard game. Cowboys fan here. Please don't judge haha. And I'm currently in love with using glitter paper. Everywhere.

My girl's favorite card apparently - her and daddy (and puppy) reading. And a photo marking her 18 month milestone :)

I was inspired to get started on this page earlier this week because of the new challenge at Paper Issues "Popping the Cork". I thought documenting the first week of the new year seemed appropriate! You also needed to use Elle's Studio products. I went through my stash and found this awesome PL stamp set, as well as 2 sets of journaling cards from the Love You More and Penelope lines.

I'm also linking up at Simon Says Stamp for their "Something New" challenge, since I scrapped the new year :) Thanks for visiting today! Hope to be back soon to share more pages. Have a great weekend! 

Project Life: Week Seven

Last post for a now :)  To see weeks FIVE and SIX see previous posts. Now, week 7:

(click to view larger)

Ah, Valentine week. My good friend, April, gifted me some papers from the My Minds Eye "Love Me" 6x6 pad to use (how could I NOT have any Valentine paper??) and I enjoyed making this spread coordinate.

I finally had a chance to do some hand stitching on the title card; love how this turned out with the doily. I used my very old Bazzill In Stitch'z templates... these are making a come back. Have you seen the new ones by Amy Tan? Love!

I am going to like including cards and things in Project Life. I actually took a picture of my hubby's Valentine card and resized it so I wouldn't have to cut the actual card. Isn't he sweet? ~swoon~

I also get a card every year from my dog.. lol! My kids though thought this card really was him. Again, I scanned the card and shrunk it to include.

This is a photo of the Valentines my first graders exchanged.. I think it will be neat to see the different trends.

Speaking of trends.. love the chalkboard trend right now. This card is from Elle's Studio.

What's every girls dream for a fancy Valentine's date? Why, seeing Die Hard in the Imax Theater! lol! 

Actually, this was the Sunday of Presidents Day weekend and my hubby and brother humored my sale shopping for a few hours, so we hit up dinner and a movie afterwards. It was actually pretty good.. but don't tell them I said that!

PS - Linking up at About a Boy challenge blog for using an older product (my Bazzill stitching templates.. and my layout includes photos of my brother and I),  Apron Strings (March Madness #15 distressing; I inked the edges of all my cards with black ink), and Boys Rule (stitching)
