Love Of Travel By Meghann Andrew
Do you love traveling? Not sure how to add the memorabilia from your trips to your layouts? Meghann’s beautiful layout will give you some tips and ideas how to create a fun page about one of your favorite traveling spots.
Creating a complementary page to the layout will allow you to add more photos and journaling, including maps and more memorabilia to this two-page spread.
Meghann used the “Escape the Ordinary” collection from Pinkfresh Studio. This is a fabulous collection for travel layouts. Scrapbooking is not just about the photos and embellishments, but the meaningful story about the photos. After all, isn’t that why we scrapbook, to preserve and record those special moments of life? Click here and you will be able to watch a video created by Meghann on how she created this layout. You can also see more of Meghann’s projects by following her blog Brioche And Blessings. You are sure to be inspired by her wonderful talent. This fabulous layout was in the issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine.

Headboard Bench By Christy James
Recently I went to a Parade of Homes show here in Utah. I have to say I have never seen so many cute benches in all my life. Attractive benches are a big rage right now. I couldn’t wait to get home to start searching for the perfect bench for my home. You see benches on the porch, in entryways, and at the end of beds. Not only are they adorable, but very practical as well. I stumbled onto this fun Do It Yourself tutorial from Christy James. I have to say… this was it! Why buy one when you can create your own, in your own colors, and the exact size that you want? I couldn’t wait to go thrift store shopping for a fun headboard to turn into my bench.
You will be so surprised how many old bed frames there are out there. It was so hard to pick out just one that would look the best in my home. I can honestly say they are very inexpensive as well. So my friends, click here and Christy will walk you step-by-step on how to turn a headboard into a beautiful bench. She will give you all the instruction you will need to make this a fun and simple project. For more creative DIY projects, be sure to visit her blog Confessions Of A Serial Do It Yourselfer. You are going to have so much fun creating this fun project. Enjoy!
Mini Cherry Almond Cheesecakes By Lindsay Conchar

You will make your family so happy by having some yummy sweets on hand. These Mini Cherry Almond Cheesecakes will put the biggest smiles on the faces of your family and friends. They are made with an almond filling studded with maraschino cherries and topped with cherry flavored whipped cream and feature the easiest crust imaginable, along with blissful flavor!
You really don’t want to miss out on this recipe. Let me take you on over to Life, Love & Sugar where you will find the recipe and all of the ingredients you will need to get started. These are perfect for a baby shower, wedding shower, birthday party, or even an afternoon treat for your kiddos. A big shout out to Lindsay for sharing this wonderful recipe with us.

Always glad to see your posts!
I’ve been wanting to turn my daughter’s crib into a bench for some time now. Hopefully the weather will warm up soon so I can get a start on it. Thanks for sharing this project and the link for the instructions.
Your weekend posts always seem to leave me happy, inspired and hungry! lol
The card is so pretty and I love the great LO with the new twist on the photo display. Lots of pics and a great way to carry the eye through all of them.
The bench is so cute and would look great tucked into a corner…maybe a good spot to sit and enjoy one (or two) of those yummy almond cheesecakes. After all, they are quite tiny so a couple wouldn’t be asking too much, would it? lol
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. Monday is a holiday here in New Brunswick so we are getting the pleasure of enjoying our first official Family Day long weekend. A great break for so many families. 🙂
Love it!
