Iced Memories

Another year of delicious cookies. This time around we tried a new sugar cookie recipe with almond extract. I have to say it added a great flavor. I think we will use it again next year. We even had new sprinkles this year! :)

"Iced Memories" was written using a Making Memories shimmer alpha. Reindeer stamp is by Hero Arts. Bling was a leftover in the bottom of my bag ;)

Us

I didn't love my wedding photos and that makes me really sad. So I decided I wanted new "family" pictures taken of my husband and me. We worked with the amazing and talented Mollie of Bloom Photography. The results are amazing! I love love love all the photos of us. She captured "us" how we see each other. I could just stare at the photos all day :)

Word captions are from the Woodhaven line by Colorbok. Camera is from the On Holiday line by The Girls' Paperie.

Valentine's Day

This year we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day with homemade cards and themed food. Chris made me heart shaped pancakes for breakfast, we had Maki's Valentine's Day special for lunch, and for dinner we had heart shaped pizza and chocolate dipped strawberries and raspberries. It was a delicious day :)

Details: Paper is Beautiful Branches from My Mind's Eye's Be Loved line. Embellishments are ancient ones I have had sitting around, so no idea where they are from :)

Secret Lives of Seahorses

While on vacation in California, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They had just opened a special exhibit on seahorses. I love seahorses! There were more species of seahorses then in any other place before. They had all stages in the life cycle of a seahorse to view. It was AMAZING!

Details: The background paper is from Heidi Grace's Beyond the Sea line. The title was cut out using the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge.

Enchanted Rock

We went to Enchanted Rock for Chris' birthday. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny January day. That is until we got to the mountain! It was very windy once we started our hike. There were gusts in excess of 55 mph! I thought we were going to blow away. After a couple of stops to wait for the wind to die down, we made it to the top. It was a beautiful view.

Details: Background paper, embellishments, and orange journaling block are all from SEI's oasis line. The title was cut out using the new Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge.

Pedernales Falls in the Autumn

I love the paper used in this layout. I have had it for awhile just waiting for the perfect fall layout. I also love the progression at the bottom of a stone being skipped across the river.

Details: "Skipping stones" was cut out using the Opposites Attract Cricut cartridge. The leaves and title are a Jolee's embellishment.

Dino Land

We went to see a traveling dinosaur exhibit this fall. All of the dinosaurs looked so life-like. I had fun fitting in all the different dinos. I have no idea what paper was used :P

Connecticut

This is the first layout I did with a bunch of little photos. It is still one of my favorite layouts. Little pictures let you cram in lots of photos without overwhelming the page. I have no idea what papers were used. :P
