sunday mimosa buffet.

I dusted off my Circut and used it for the title work for this layout:

After the title was cut I felt that it got lost in the base pattered paper... so I "traced" the title with a dotted line of gold glitter glue (click photos for larger view).

I used a shipping tag for the business card and some hidden journaling on the back.

Thanks for looking!

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.
