Recipe Album Gift and Card











I made this recipe album for our soon-to-be daughter-in-law's shower. It is a flip album from 7 Gypsies. The scrapbook kit was one I found at Archiver's called Recipe Time. The charms were a Karen Foster Design item.  I cut recipe cards from the From My Kitchen cartridge and stamped some of them with the "What's for Dinner?" stamp set from Stampin' Up.

This recipe is really great, Jen. I am working on one with the same cart. I have made only one page. I am looking to put the recipes on 6 x6 pages and then adhering them to chipboard and combining with a ring. What do you think? Do you really like 7 Gypsies? I am thinking of ordering some of their products. I haven't ordered a lot on the internet. Where do you get your supplies? Well, take care and have great day!

Natalie, I really like 7 Gypsies stuff. There are several good sellers on ebay or directly from sevengypsies.com . If you live near an Archiver's, they have a good selection of 7 Gypsies products! I think your idea of a ring album is great! I might use this too!
scrappyRN, I wondered if someone would notice that! :-) JJ is my son, (who Amy is marrying), and he is a diabetic so that was just a funny way to let her know that she can or can't make that recipe for him!

I found you on the cricut message board and I think this is great! My best friend is getting married and we want to make her a cookbook for her shower also. This gave me great ideas! Thanks!

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

Think Spring Blog Hop

                                Welcome to the THINK SPRING BLOG HOP!!  You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented  Crafty Baskets  !  If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at  Creations With Kathryn  . She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! )  The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.  Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my blog candy! This is a pic of an open page. Now for my blog candy!!  Just leave me a comment on this post with a way to contact you -

My Pink Stamper Challenge

My Pink Stamper has posted a challenge today to any and all who would like a shot at being on her design team! My project needed to use a favorite Cricut cartridge and the colors: pink, green and brown and another color of my choice. I used my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge and my Imagine with the Mr. Frosty pattern cartridge and Snapshot Everyday cartridges. I am going to frame this project so I can always look at my sweet little, brand-new grandson!! The mat behind this adorable picture was printed and cut on my Imagine from the standard shapes on the Imagine and the Mr. Frosty cartridge. I really like this snowflake pattern! This is a close-up of the tree and layers from page 60 of my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge and was cut at 3.5"H. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the "snow" on the tree look like it was glistening! Notice the "wood" paper for the tree trunk - this is a texture pattern on the Snapshot Everyday Imagine
