Memory Recipe Scrapbooks

Have a favorite recipe of a loved one who is no longer here, how about putting the recipe in a Scrapbook, writing a comment or memory about it, examples, when she/he would make it, who makes it now, where the recipe came from, etc. These would make great gifts, or to hold onto and be passed down at a later time...

Monthly Recipe/Craft Club

Looking for an exciting way to get new recipes, as well as, a taste of them too, this is the perfect Club for you. We will be exchanging monthly recipes and bringing the recipes for all of us to try at each monthly Exchange. Each month we will have a different kind of recipe (example January Appetizer, February, Soups, etc) In addition, to exchanging recipes I thought it would be fun to do a small craft project each month.

To kick off this wonderful Club we will be starting off with a Christmas Cookie Exchange (Invitation will be sent when I have all individuals who want to be included in the Club). The day of the Cookie Exchange you will be receiving your very own My Creations Recipe Box (that can be decorated that day or you may just want to leave it as is), Recipe Cards and a list of all Craft Projects and Recipe Types for each month (12 month's) Cost is $10.00 per month. This fee covers the cost of the craft project (all materials provided with the exception of glue/adhesive). Fees will be collected by the 15th of each month, to give me time to order all necessary material for projects. Example, our first Meet-Up/Christmas Cookie Exchange is December 4th, so you will send me your $10.00 fee by November 15th and I will order all Recipe Boxes and materials to decorate for our December 4th meeting.

If this is something that you would like to be a part of please let me know by November 10th...

Wonderland Tag

I absolutely love this paper.  I love the combination of blues and snowflakes.  Here is a tag I made using the Wonderland Paper.  The tag is 2 1/2 x 4 1/2.  The tag was cut from Very Merry Tags Cricut Cartridge.  Snowflakes were cut from Joys of the Season Cricut Cartridge.  I inked around the tag, the white cardstock, as well as, the edges of the biggest snowflake.  I put the smallest snowflake on the edge of the white insert and sponged around it.  I added a few rhinestones (bling) and the ribbon that I used was the striped Wonderland Paper.

Wonderland Cards

These cards are made using the Wonderland Level 2 Paper Packet, Wonderland My Stickease, Die-Cut Cards & Envelopes, a few different color bling, ribbon and a few cut-outs from the Cricut Cartridge When It's Cold Outside...
