Layout: My Girl

I started this layout as a part of the YS Bingo Challenge. I used the line that included the following prompts: 

Mist/Ink/Paint: Heidi Swapp mist splatters. 

Basic shape for accent: Circles, MME brads. 

Quote/Lyric for title: My Girl

Punches/Die cut machine: Circles punched from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 3 6x6 paper pad 

Photo of You: check! 

As I was finishing up the layout this morning, I saw the Scraptastic challenge to use journaling strips. The journaling reads: I have so many hopes and dreams for you, my sweet girl. Mostly, I wish you joy and peace throughout your life. May you always know your worth and remain true to your dreams. 

I hope I can instill a strong sense of self in Millie and teach her to love herself, trust her heart, and never doubt her worth. 

Project Millie's Life : June Week 1 / Week 36

This month I am determined to be up-to-date with Millie's album, and the Scraptastic A Day in the Life kit was just what I needed to get my bum in gear!

The numbered journaling card is color coordinated with the corresponding photo using matching sequins.  

Love the stamp by Ormolu (exclusive to Scraptastic)- I see myself using it all the time!

Layout: So Much Sweetness

I have loved every scrap of my Scraptastic Kit Club Destination Unknown kit. This LilyBee Design paper is so lovely and the tiny hearts are just perfection on paper!

Layout: Three Special Pillows and You

This is another layout using the Destination Unknown kit from Scraptastic kit Club. I loved this kit! 

The blog challenge that inspired this layout was the "Opposites Attract" challenge- I combined the neon sequins and softer colors and white to add the concept of opposites to this page. 

Here you can see the fan-tab-u-lous After The Storm stamps up close.

Layout: Singin' In The Rain

Millie's first Merle Fest was a rainy one. Per usual, the weather was perfect on the festival days during the work week and rainy on the weekend when I could attend. Despite rain, Millie enjoyed a few hours of music, dancing, and free yogurt samples. (Boy, did she love those samples!)

I cut apart the Echo Park journaling card paper from my May Scraptastic kit and layered the cards to create the look of various patterned paper.

Monday Meals: Fresh Veggies + Penne + Goat Cheese

Inspired by a recipe on Pinterest, I decided to combine some of my recent market and co-op purchases into one dish. I picked up the organic zucchini and spinach at a local co-op last week and had purchased some plain goat cheese a couple weeks ago at the open air market in town. It was lacking spice and needs a bit of a kick, but my spice cabinet is lacking. 

Approximate recipe: 

1 cup penne pasta (uncooked) 

2 cups spinach

3 small zucchini 

2 Tbsp goat cheese 

Fresh ground pepper 

What are your go to spices? 

Layout: First Dance

This layout was inspired by the Scraptastic Sketch Challenge on their blog. I used scraps from past kits and my stash. The twine is by Ormolu - I have had it for a while and LOVE the sparkle it adds.
