Jillibean Soup! Happy.

I'm so excited to share that I have been invited to be a guest designer for Jillibean Soup!  There are some INCREDIBLY talented ladies on their new team, and I feel so honored!  I wanted to quickly share with you one of the pages that I made for my design team entry:

These are just some of the pictures I took for my daughter's senior photo shoot--love that we have a Riparian Preserve just down the street, made for some pretty backgrounds without having to drive to far away!

For this layout I used the Healthy Hello Soup collection, Adhesive sequins, cardstock tags, and Foil Tags-Hello.  

My favorites about his layout:

*I love the foiled Happy Tag--pop of gold!

*I love that I got to use an unusual colored cardstock as the background--this happens to be my girl's favorite color!

*the off set paper on the background.

*sequins

*and FOUR pictures!

Thanks for the visit today and letting me share my happy news!

thanks.

Buttery Golden Buttermilk Waffles

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

20 minutes

Yield: 5 Large waffles

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 tbs granulated sugar

4 tsp baking powder

pinch salt

1 3/4 cup buttermilk (REAL buttermilk produces the best results)

2 eggs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Begin by heating up your waffle iron and greasing it if you need to.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Mix until everything is fully combined without over-mixing. Let the batter rest for two minutes. Every waffle iron is different size wise so this may be different for everyone - but with my waffle iron, I use about 1/2-3/4 cup of batter per waffle to get a perfect, full waffle. Place waffles on a wire rack in a single layer and repeat this process with the remaining batter.*

Buttery Golden Buttermilk Waffles are best served immediately and eaten the same day.

My kids crack me up!  I happened to have my camera out when they were having a competition.  How would be the best way to jump in to the pool?  Well, of course--the Robot!

I used the Shine Bright kit from Scrapbook Circle, loved the beautiful colors in this kit-worked perfectly for this layout!
