week in photos {x2}

Hey y'all! I have some Instagrams to share. I have been addicted to Instagram, and my ipod touch in general, for photos when I can't bring my bigger camera with me! 

New nude flats! Love them!

Flower ring! Perfect!

Olive Garden dinner. :)

Pink lemonade. Always a favorite!

Ice cream cup. Love the stripes!

Chicken Caesar wrap & fries for lunch.

Addicted to music forever.

Pretty tissue boxes make being sick easier. :)

Puppy basking in the sun.

Re-reading.

Fun hamburger wrapper!

Finally found a restaurant where I can get my favorite Italian soda!

Basil Tomazza sandwich. I dream about this sandwich... ;)

Clicking and typing.

A heck of a lot of food pictures! I've been able to eat at some good places lately while traveling for Spring with my family! 

Enjoy the rest of your week!

share it sunday {4/15}

Ahhh.... how has it been almost a month since I last blogged? My "blog more this year" resolution has slipped down the drain. But, I'm determined to pick it back up. Life has just been one big ball of crazy lately! That's why I let this drop... But, here's a layout to make up for it! :)

I made this layout for the "Lift the Person Above You" challenge over at the Studio Calico forums. I lifted Penny's lovely layout

Have a lovely Sunday evening!

share it sunday {better together}

I was so excited to be able to have my family come and visit for my birthday. It was great to see them! It was also nice catching up with my two cousins that I'm extremely close with. We took some pictures together and I decided that they needed to be scrapbooked!

I found this 'better together' sticker in the Dear Lizzy Remarks Sticker book and I was giddy because I knew that the three little girl feet was perfect to match my subject... the three of us girls. The kit I used for this layout was Studio Calico's Daydream Believer.

This was a simple page, but I'm happy with the results and glad I was able to get these pictures of us together documented. 

Thanks for looking!

P.S. I know I've been a little M.I.A. these past couple of weeks. I have had zero time to create anything and thus have nothing to share. I'm hoping to remedy that this weekend, though, and get back on track with my "Blog More: 2012" campaign! teehee.

random happenings {in pictures}

I'm sorry for my lack of presence on the blog! It's been one heck of a week and I can tell you I am greatly lacking in the crafty department due to the fact that I have had zero time to sit down and create something. So, that's kind of why there is nothing going on on this blog... But, here's some pictures I took yesterday and today with my DSLR... felt good to use it! It had been a little while! 









I've been obsessed with macro lately. Ya know. :) 

Thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of your night!

almost.

200th post!!! ha! 
I participated in Gillian's 'Lift the Person Above You' challenge. It was tons of fun! I was to lift Ember S. She had a rockin' gallery! I finally settled on lifting her 'Happy & Silly' layout. I'm really happy with the results and thanks to Ember for being such a great source of inspiration! 

Here's a link to her original layout. And, here's my lift of her's...

I used the Studio Calico Daydream Believer kit. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE (can't stress it enough!) this kit. The pastels with bright punches of color are the perfect mix. And, I can't get enough of those butterflies from 
The Gilded Bee! Studio Calico really hit it out of the park with this one! 

Thanks for looking!

instagram thursday.

Hey y'all. Just wanted to share a few instagram photos. I don't have anything crafty to share and probably won't for a few more days. The schedule's been too hectic to get anything done. But, I felt that the blog needed a little something to make up for the lack of posting I've done. So here's some pictures... 

Cutie pie.

Little Miss Long Legs. :)

My glass lemonade bottles... LOVE them.

My Shop Sweet Lulu box... pretty packaging.

Practically the best tea ever!
Welp, that's it for today.

happy birthday card.

Lots and lots of birthdays this month! So, I've been busy creating cards. One of my best friend's birthday was on the 16th, so I made here this card...

I used the Studio Calico Daydream Believer kit for the bulk of this card.
