Java Jen Creations

Yes, I know that Christmas is over but I've been out-of-state for over a week so I thought I would post these two projects that I made for gifts at Christmas. I made Holiday recipe albums for my Mother, sister-in-law, daughter and daughter-in-law using a K and Co. Christmas stack and my Your Story. They were quick and simple to make! The next project is simply a little open box that I made by scoring a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock to create a place to slip in gift cards! I also included a jar mix of my Sour Cream Coffee Cake with a recipe tag. Thanks for stopping by today and just FYI, I'll debut as a guest designer on  She's a Sassy Lady  tomorrow, March 10th!! I'm so excited!!

I found so many images that just had to be included in this mini!! Even with all these die cuts, it's not too much because it allows the real stars, (the recipes) to shine!! This album is also featured over at Cricut Mini Albums ! I used a 5x7 album that I put together with the bind-it-all. I used some 7 Gypsies cardstock stickers to embellish this album as well as the cricut cuts. I have a stamp set that I used for the words on the tabs. I am hoping to make this album into a kit that I will have for sale on my blog, so be watching for that announcement!!  Here are the cricut cartridges that I used:  From My Kitchen Gypsy Wanderings Birthday Cakes Thanksgiving seasonal Simply Charmed Winter Woodland Winter Frolic When It's Cold Outside I think I am going to attach a pocket to some pages in the back so that when I...

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.
