My first Project Life layout!

Project Life

Hey all!

So, back in 2013, I bought a whole bunch of stuff to do Project Life in 2014.  After a few weeks of trying to remember to take pics everyday, and sometimes being successful with that, I sat down to whip out some layouts.  Ya, that didn't happen.  In fact, I struggled so much trying to make one , that I put it all away and never even looked at it again.

Until recently.

A few of my crafty friends started a FB page, Bimini Moose, which is all about PL and pocket scrapbooking.

Well they totally inspired me to get my stuff out and give it a go, again.

After a couple days of headaches, I managed to put this together.

I used a few favorite patterns from Little Scraps of Heavens Designs to accent my layout and for my title.

I am not completely happy with it, but happy I did it!

Seeing how this is week one from 2014, I have a lot to catch up on! lol

Hopefully it gets easier, and I get better at it, as I keep going!

Until next time.....

Happy Scrappin'!

Melted Snowman Cookies

You all know I am a Pinterest addict. Well, I saw some melted Snowman cookies on there and decided I had to make them for the pre-school Winter Celebration!  There were several different pins on these, so I just copied the idea and did it my way.

I will say that I found THE BEST sugar cookie recipe so far during this search tho!

Go check out Midget Momma for this tasty NO SPREAD Sugar cookie recipe! I am so excited to make my Christmas shape cookies this year because of this recipe! They stay the same shape, like the recipe says, they "No Spread"! lol

I also got my icing recipe from her too, Midget Momma's Royal Icing.

Now, once you ice your cookies, nuke your marshmallows for about 20 seconds, then stick in your noses. I sliced up orange fruit slices, but you can use whatever you like.

Then mush them onto the cookie.

Once the icing has hardened, embellish your snowman.

I used red & green cookie icing by Betty Crocker (b/c I am lazy and didn't want to make more)

But then I ended up making my own black frosting anyways because the writing Gel was just dripping off and aggravating me!

And that's it!  They were pretty simple, and the cookie tips f rolling out between wax paper is genius!

The icing is very sweet, but my kids didn't complain about that!! :)

Thanks for coming by!
