reserve tasting.

This layout was inspired by this layout I saw in the Studio Calico Gallery. I loved the stitched heart and random bits, but I'm not very good at "random"... so this is what I came up with.

This is another photo from our recent trip to NorCal. The Robert Mondavi Vineyard was absolutely beautiful. We took a the Reserve Tasting Tour and got to explore the whole facility. We had a great tour guide and happily left the vineyard with 4 bottles of wine!

I tucked the wine list and prices behind the photo. It'll be fun to look back on the prices =)

I did some masking/stamping for the polka dot heart and outlined it with some hand-stitching. I didn't have any alpha stickers that "matched", so I spritzed some Mr. Huey in Warm Calico over some white Basic Grey Micro Mono Stickers.

Porto's Potato Balls!!!

Last weekend Phil FINALLY took me to Porto's in Glendale.

 

We got 3 potato balls to share while we waited for our sandwiches. He got the Pan con Lechon Sandwich (that boy loves him some lechon) and I got the classic Cuban Sandwich.

Oh! Everything was so tasty! We weren't able to finish our sandwiches, so we took them to go. Even though we were stuffed my brilliant husband was sure to get 6 Guava Strudels to go =). I love that man!

I know we'll be going back to Porto's in the (hopefully near) future.

sparkling.

Phil and I enjoyed a frou-frou lunch for two at Etoile at the Domaine Chandon Winery during our road trip to Northern California. Here's the layout I created:

I dressed up the Making Memories Butterflies with some stamps and stickles. I also used some stickles to accent the Crate Paper border sticker.

We had a great time on this trip, so expect to see more layouts with our vacation photos =)
