A Day in the Sun - H2H I Heart Us

Happy Monday!

Today I am a bit late posting this layout. I really struggled with this one and so I am running a bit late for my Design Team duty posting but, in my opinion it is better to be late and happy with a project than to put something out that I am not happy with. I am still not 100% happy with it, I feel it is missing something but it will come to me and I will add it. But for now, this is what I have come up with.....

Products Used:

Paper:

- I Heart Us

- White Daisy, Lagoon, and Black card stock

Stamp:

- D1718 Some Kinda Wonderful

- A Thousand Words

Ink:

- Bluebir, Thistle, and Raspberry

Embellishments:

- Black and White Dots

I really love this paper pack and I have had so much fun working with it. I love the colours and they are making me so ready for spring. In our family do we things together all the time but we have what we call Family Fun Days and that is where the entire day is spent doing something fun, going somewhere we don't normally do, eating out and just having fun together as a family, these are typically all day events and can be one bigger event like a zoo or amusement park or doing a bunch of different things like going to the local pool and then heading to a baseball game in the evening. So in honour of our Family Fun Days....I created this layout to document one of our many family fun days together. 

(sorry for the shadow going across the right lower corner, no matter how many pictures I took, just could not get rid of it!)

Paper:

Amish Cinnamon Bread - H2H Recipe challenge

Hello! Happy Monday to you all. Today at H2H Challenges we have a recipe challenge for you. The recipe can be an actual cooking type of recipe, a sketch or challenge recipe type, or anything that requires you to follow a "recipe."

I chose to do an actual recipe, see I bought the Cut Above Recipe Kit - Kitchen Traditions about 6 months ago and the Holiday version from the Holiday Expressions Idea Book and I have not touched it yet. So this was the perfect opportunity to get it out and get started documenting our recipes.

I chose a family favourite and one I knew had pictures of one of my daughters helping me make and that is my husband's favourite...Amish Cinnamon Bread. 

Products Used:

- Z4168 Cut Above Recipe Kit - Kitchen Traditions
- White Daisy card stock
- D1770 Kitchen Traditions stamp set
- Z2105 Black Ink
- Black Cricut Pen


Now that I have this one done and in the album I am committing myself to writing out one recipe per week, this keeps it manageable and less daunting of a project. I also have some family members that I will be asking to write out the recipes that they make that our family favourites. I wish I had some of my moms old recipes that she made all the time but never had written down and now that is gone for over 20 years memories are fading and it would be awesome to have those memories in her writing to hand down to my girls. While I missed the opportunity with my mom, I will not miss anymore. I will also be having my girls write out their own favourites that we make when I teach them how to make our family favourites.

Until next time, happy crafting!
