The Pi Girls, got to work with Ruby Rock It’s Cook Range -that’s
Australian for line ::insert foster’s
beer commercial voice::

 

 I am so excited to
share this project with you. I got the cookbook to work with, which is ironic
since I don’t cook! But nonetheless I rocked it. {ruby rock it-get it} I have
some family recipes that really need to written down, along with some others I
do use occasionally. I also used some photos of my recent garden to embellish
the pages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to keep the book really simple, so I could add
pages at a later time and not have to worry about them not matching. I simply
typed the recipes and printed them out on white cardstock. I adhered them to
the paper pages that came with the album. I also used some American Crafts 4x6
page protectors, for the small recipes.

 I also used some of
the 12x12 papers from the line to help embellish the pages. I absolutely love
this punch. It’s so awesome to just punch a scrap and have an instant
embellishment. I also printed out in a really small size font some labels. I
just cut the text out, and then stapled it right onto the sticker tab that came
with the cookbook.

Next
up on the hop is “Alex”

I made 3 tag shaped cards

I used Samantha’s All Boy Clear Stamps

from JustRite for the
sailboat and sentiment.

I also used the Buntings and Button Dies from JustRite
to make the waves.

And the cute background paper is from Samantha’s Giddy Up

6x6 blue paper pad from Carta Bella

 

     
   

 

Here is my second card “#1”

Again I used the same stamp set as the first card,

Samantha’s All Boy Clear Stamps from JustRite to stamp

the badge and #1
sentiment.

I hand cut the badge, but I used the Vintage Labels Three die from
JustRite

to create the flower like background layers.

I also used Samantha’s
Giddy Up 6x6 blue paper pad from Carta Bella

 

     
   

 

 

And for my third card “Scoot Right On Over”

I used the same stamp set, Samantha’s All Boy Clear Stamps
from JustRite for the scooter and sentiment.

Ialso again used Samantha’s Giddy
up line from Carta Bella,

but this time I used the pink paper pad.

instafriday: week 24

 

Another week down!

OMG we are like have way through the year! That’s crazy
talk. Once again I survived random things. What’s surprising to is I feel
totally unconnected from social media this week. I felt like I never instagramed,
never Facebooked. When I sat down to write this post I saw I had taken way more
photos then I thought. I seriously thought I wasn’t gonna have enough this
week. Don’t fear, I took plenty! In fact it was hard to pick which ones to
share today. I wont hold out on you any longer, here they are!

 

 

YES, this happened a rat pooped on my vanity. In fact he is
still locked in my bathroom! That’s a whole nother story.

What you talkin bout Willis! Yes this cutie spent some time
with me

I love lemon… I picked some lemons to make lemon sorbet

This Happened again this week, I am seriously in love with
these

The great apricot massacre of 2013, I am so depressed

Uggggh I hate when my desk looks like this {which is all the
time!}

Couldn’t resist a foot shot on this {clearance from Target}
rug

Is he not precious, and yes you get goodies at Auntie Aimee’s

Ye this happened… but then it didn’t. It takes like 20 hours
for the bowl to fully freeze. So no Lemon sorbet for me on Thursday night.

ALMOST year round… Almost!

I decided to make something with Samantha’s fabric. I am
loving this cute fabric banner.

I tied it up in my backyard for photos, and I
never took it down.

Through rain and snow… OK no snow. Its still up and looks fabulous.

It gives my backyard a little shabby chic touch. I love it!

Happy Monday

a day in the life: may 31 2013

 

Hello Saturday….

 

Well I finally finished it. A day in the life, that is. I
finally found a template I liked. It’s a simple scrapper premium membership
sketch. I also purchased AC digitals Lucky Charm to work with.

It’s a little busy, but that okay. I think I wanted that. I
plan on having it printed from Persnickety Prints as a 12x12 and I will slip it
in with my Project Life Album.

This is pretty much an average day around here. Minus
eating, and the regular appointments.

 

I love that I took the time to do this. What’s funny is on Wednesday
when I woke up I had this feeling to do “a day in the life”. But I didn’t
follow through with it. So when I saw that Ali was doing it on Friday, I joined
in.

 

I hope you enjoyed!!! Did you document “a day in the life”?

instafriday: week 23

 

Surprisingly this week went by a lot faster then I imagined
it would.

My dad & Kevin went out of town for what seems like forever.
I honestly thought this Friday would get here. 1 down another to go.

 

It’s been a tough week but like always I have survived. I didn’t
think I was gonna have enough photos for today. Guess what I had more than
plenty.  Sometimes its so hard to pick
which photos are gonna to get high lighted. Instead of me gabbing, lets see
those photos…

 

 

 

Last Friday was Ali Edwards week in the life

{I have yet to
get those photos together, I know I know} this one of

Kevin is part of our
morning routine, social media and snuggle time.

Good morning beautiful
