Still making recipes 2.0

Here are the recipe cards I made for the last few months.
First up is October's Challenge. The theme was PIE. So I started with Pot Pie and then added a quick card for Pumpkin Pie.


All parts are from Let Me Scrapbook.


The Pie icon I found online and used a filter on it.


Then in November the theme was Turkey or Thanksgiving. I found this recipe online for a one pot meal. Sounds so yummy.

December's Challenge is Sweet Treats and Gifts in a Jar. I wanted to make a card that piggy-backed the last few months of themes....Pumpkin that I can. Something Sweet and for a Party, a Pie and Thanksgiving worthy too. :)

Still making recipes

Here are a few recipes from the last two months.
In August the recipe theme was canning. Since I only seem to can single items, I made a card for ZUCCHINI RELISH, it is one of the few recipes I have canned.

Blank Cards

Just because I posted them in previous months. :)

Playing Catch-up

I truly have been scrapping...just not so much, and not posting anything here.
Here is what I've been working on.

April's Recipe Challenge by LetMeScrapbook was all about PASTA. Here is a card for super quick Manicotti and one for Tortellini soup.
Font for this card is PC Childish.

Font for this card is Perpetua.

Then this month the Theme is Mexican. So I made a card for Enchilada Sauce...love that I have a recipe for times when I don't have a can. :)
The fonts I used were from a blog that made Handwriting fonts. The title is called Pea I am Baker, and the recipes font is in Pea Our Best Bites. (I had to use cooking fonts). I also like the brick work I did. I would like to learn how to make the edges of a page look more ripped or worn....have learning to do. :)

LetMeScrapbook had posted a mini kit for the iNSD (interNational Scrapbook Day) BlogTrain that was called Fiesta. She also challenged anyone who used her kits to post in her Gallery for a prize. I had just returned from a race for the girls and thought the color scheme fit well. So here are the pages I made. I only posted one in her gallery.
I recolored some of the pieces like the frames and ribbon. I also rotated the background pages to an angle. I like the different look it gave the pages. The safety pins were from another kit, I belive a baby kit, I made them B&W. I searched for the Ironman 'M dot' and then looked for a font that matched, I used Lucida Sans. The journaling is in LDJ Noodge, I like the playful look of it.

Trying new things

Today I saw a couple of layouts that used a monogram as the main part of the page. It looked interesting and I had to try it before I forgot about it. So I started with some Pirate kits that I have been downloading and decided to use my daughter's R. So the font is Pieces of Eight, kinda a Pirates of the Caribbean feel. I used the largest font size, then outlined it to make it thicker. I then tried another skill of creating a 'window' in a paper. I linked the letter to the page, then selected the letter and deleted it...thus leaving a hole in the page. I then filled the space with pictures of my daughter and this is when she came home...saw the PIRATES paper and asked why it was on there...could I delete it....she really likes peace signs and hearts! So the next little while was spent looking for just the right paper. I typed in HEARTS in my search window, and grabbed what ever popped out at me, for the elements as well. So I have no idea whos paper or elements are on this layout. I still think there needs to be MORE to the monogram...I just don't know if I should highlight the edges of the letter or try to figure out how to do a reversed shadow.....anyway, idea saved.



I messed with it....and look at that shadow. Does it make a difference?


Then since I was in the playing mood, I just randomly clicked open a file and used what was inside and made a layout. The minikit is sahlinstudio_ rejuvenate_addon. I used a flower shape and filled it with the polka-dot paper. Then I just added the elements and some shadows.

Now what to do with it?

Geocaching Pages

I've had my eye on this kit I came across some time ago....it was all about Geocaching. Today I decided to get it and play with it. There are a few fun things with this kit, and some things I would like to add (if only I knew more). I had some pictures in my folder from an event this past year (thanks Big_E! for them). So off I was in creating today.

Parts I changed are the GPS; color and allowed my own maps to be inserted, and I added the cache box from my mapsource program.
Grid is from a stash I have on hand, unknown credit.
Fonts are Still time, Snap ITC, and PC pigpen

Bananas are free right!

I have made another card! It is all because while surfing around I found this 'to-die-for' pointsplus recipe! It is a BANANA!!! and it feels like ICE CREAM. I'm impressed. So I had to share and make a card to spread the good word.

January Recipe Challenge

This month's theme is Comfort foods. I wasn't sure at first what to do, then the idea of HOT WASSAIL came to mind. I did the regular version and the sugar free version, as well as a blank card. Can I say I LOVE this card. The cute little characters on the bottom are wonderful!!!
