Recipe Layout

My most recent layout for the Pink Pineapple design team is with Webster's Pages "Sweet As Cherry Pie" & Jenni Bowlin Chipboard Buttons. Honestly, it was challenging, but I think it worked out OK...here is what I came up with:







So, there actually is a correlation between the recipe and the photo on this layout...the last time I made Bread Pudding was following an afternoon of sledding over Valentine's weekend...the photo is of that same day! I have such fond memories of sledding, whipping down that hill, at full speed...and being all tuckered out later that evening, sitting on my Mom's big leather couch with a belly full of homemade bread pudding! Yuummmmy!

Yes, Man!

I finally watched "Yes Man!" with Jim Carrey & Zooey Deschanel, and I LOVE IT! The story is awesome, and there are so many cute quirky parts! I found it VERY uplifting & inspirational...

The graphics for the titles are these fabulous bright colors with paint splatter:



Here is the preview:



After watching the movie Ryan told me that Zooey Deschanel is in a real band called She & Him....the entrance to their website is so cute! In the movie, she is also in a band called "Munchausen by Proxy"...and they totally make me smile! Here are a couple clips from the movie with their performances:



Zooey drives around is the cutest little scooter (and wears the best clothes):



Some of my favorite parts are when they decide to go on spontaneous weekend vacation, when Jim Carrey goes to Zooey's class (where you take photos while jogging), and when he dances at the bar:



There are so many great scenes in this movie...let me know what you think ;)

My house for butterflies...

...is blue and yellow, bright and cheerful!

My last design team assignment for Pink Pineapple Scrapbooks was to decorate a birdhouse for display in the store...well, I totally adore Hambly, and when I saw the yellow butterfly transparency, I couldn't resist! Here are a couple pics:



I ended up adding Hambly Woodgrain to the roof, and wasn't satisfied with such a clean look, so I tore the edges off, leaving paper in the center. Then, I took yellow paint, and painted over the whole roof, wiping with baby wipes, so the paper would show through...turned out kinda fun!



For the butterfly on the roof, I took one of the feather butterflies you get at Michaels, and layered it with one of the yellow Hambly transparency butterflies, with gems down the body. The end result was just the perfect amount of dimension! I love it when an idea works!

Smiles to all!!!

Fairy's do exist...

I saw lots of little fairies last weekend. My friend, Gloria, took me to the sweetest event! Here are a couple of my favorite pics:









Other than all the cute little fairies prancing around, one of coolest things I saw, were all the fairy gardens! I totally LOVE nature!...so, seeing all these minature gardens was so great!





We met the beautiful and talented Emily Falconbridge there, and her daughter made this perfect fairy garden:



Emily even let me borrow her fairy dress to wear! Thank you, Emily!
