First Ice Cream Cone

We have a local farm in MD that isn't too far from the house called South Mountain Creamery.  We decided to check out their open house back in April of 2011 to see what they had to offer, sample their food and feed the baby cows.

Holden was a little over two and had such a blast.  He loved seeing all the animals, feeding the baby cows and petting the baby bunnies.  The food there was wonderful and since I was getting into the less/non processed movement it seemed like a good fit for our family.  They have their own ice cream too (I'm a chocolate person all the way however they have a blueberry cheesecake ice cream that is my favorite!) The little kids cones were super cute and perfect for us to see how Holden did with ice cream in general.

He did really well even though he looks a bit grumpy in this picture.  I used two Mister Hueys - Pony and Dewey, basic grey for the background/foundation and all the stickers and little bits of paper are from the AC Dear Lizzy line. 

One Little Word

hi everyone,
I'm trying to get better at posting once a week but things seem to be getting away from me ever since Christmas went into full swing.  I've been working on stuff I just can't seem to get it from the actual page to the blog. 

As I mentioned in another post I decided to do Ali Edward's one little word.  My word for my very first year is "forward".  Here is my title page.  I went with a 12x12 for the title but will continue with the 10x12 Project Life protectors for the whole year.  Once I get month 1 done like everything else I will post up here. 

I am STILL working on finishing my DD.  With two kids 3 and under it just gets away from me.  They are crazy fun little critters but take a lot of my time.  It's all good - when they get older it will pay off :)  Anyway I've babbled enough so enjoy my title page and I'll be back soon with more fun stuff! 

I used a clear button from my stash, SC Mister Huey white, a project life journal card, brown twine from doodlebug, foam letters from American crafts that were distressed just a little to take the edge off of the cream color, chipboard banner shapes from Maya road which have been dyed with Mister Huey's (in plum thumb, custard and heirloom blue) then I added little rhinestones on the bottom of each banner to finish it off.  :)

DD Day 6

This page is only a 6x12 (my fave of all the PL protectors) so the stuff off to the right is for Day 7 (which was the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor - this will be shown in another post).  I used G45's Christmas line from last year as well as Bella Blvd letters and some Mister Huey Custard mist.  I placed the letters onto the page and misted over them.  Then I peeled them off and sewed the word to the page.  This picture was taken one morning when I took Zoe downstairs before getting Holden ready.  She had never seen just the tree on by it's self and her eyes were as lit as the tree.  So beautiful! I took a quick pic without the flash and even though its a little blurry because she was so excited she kept moving it still came out perfect for me :)
