Beleive in Yourself / Graduation layout using #CD00695

By

I was excited when I saw this file from Visual Designs by Chris knowing my daughter was graduating this year.  As usual, I used a VDBC file along with a lot of other things in my studio to create the layout.  I love mixed media!!  The file is #CD00695 the Grad 2010 frame.  Other lettering for the title is chipboard letters for the B and Y, stickers for “in” and  my Quickutz/mini Marisa for the remainder of the words.  Other embellishments include patterned paper, wired ribbon with little stars on it, black bling, star brads, paper flowers with glitter brads and a diploma charm.  Chipboard includes the parenthesis, oval behind the B and the exclamation point.  These were painted with Honey Mustard radiant pearls.  I also dry brushed a little of the radiant pearls on the paper flowers. 
 
Fun layout!

The Sunday do’s list

By

Yep workin’ on the Sunday do’s. I got a little extra done. I canned for the first time. Some praline syrup which I think would be good on ice cream, brie, pancakes. Yum. Still working on the laundry. Well to be honest. Way behind on the laundry.

 

A super fun burn of my time today. Driving to walgreen’s I won a basket of goodies from Walgreen’s. I bought some mascara and eyeliner and I was entered in a drawing. Wooho! So went to pick it up. I am not sure in any way what to do with some of this stuff. So we shall see, but makeup it is so expensive it is fun to get it in a basket and tinker and then decide. WOW not so me! Haha.

 

And a few weeks ago I was asked to post my menus if I have time as they would help others when planning is stressful. Very interesting hadn’t thought about it. So here is this coming weeks. Not a lot of great new recipe attempts, but a lot of use of our bountiful basket.  Hope you can use it.

 

*****************************

 

 

Sunday night. – grilled burgers and grilled corn (bbasket)

 

Monday  – Spaghetti & Noodles ( Hubby will be gone and he is not a fan of red sauce. So easy for kiddo and I. Going to add mushrooms (bbasket) and meat to the sauce to add a little punch to it. And fresh shredded mozarella)

 

Tuesday –  Make your own as I plan to work on canning applesauce and pie filling. Cooking dinner will be my last thought (So might thaw out some bratwurst we have so the hubby can grill and maybe the corn from the basket)

 

Wednesday – Grilled Chicken & Whipped Butternut squash and Tinfoil apples (bbasket) warmed on the grill. Gonna make all the butternut squash up and have the leftover for lunch for me for the next few days.

 

Thursday  – If not, Salmon, Salad(bbasket) & Rice

 

Friday – Possibly movie night at school (If not, Fajitas: green and red bell pepers (bbasket), onion in pan) Marinate meat and grill. Have to see if I can get some tamales to compliment this)
