Bon Appetit - Jillibean Soup

Hello blogging friends,

I managed to scrap another layout of my European vacation using the gorgeous new You Make Miso Happy collection from Jillibean Soup. I love the pastel florals in this collection, but what caught my eye were those houses in the pea pod parts. I thought they would be perfect for a foodie layout. We tried a lot of different foods everywhere we went. On our last day in Paris my daughter told me we had to try escargot. "You want me to eat a snail!" I said. Well I did ... and I liked it, a lot! Never be afraid to sample the local cuisine. Snails taste a lot like sauteed mushrooms. The trick was getting them out of their shells. We were given a device that looked like a clamp to hold the shell and a little tiny fork to dig the snail out with. If you are looking for a fabulous Parisian cafe close to Musee d'Orsay try the Cocorico. We ate here a couple times it was so good!

I used a Jillibean Soup Tile digital cut file. I love these tile digital cut files. They are perfect for my food layouts as they remind me of the ceiling tiles from farmhouse kitchens. I used the fun yellow pattern paper to back the cut file. I did my journalling on vellum as I did not want to cover up too much of that beautiful background.

I layered lots of the pea pod die cuts with an enamel heart shape to draw attention to my title. I dug out my stash of Jillibean Soup corrugated alphas. I love their texture. There was a lot of brown in my photos and the brown alphas helped to pull the color scheme together.

By printing my photos in a strip, it helps to tell the story.... I look a little hesitant, don't I? lol.  I love my facial expression ... but really they were so good. I would definitely eat them again. To even out the title under my photos, I added a few houses in the opposite corner above my photos with some enamel hearts on top.

I really love how this turned out!
