baked with love ... vintage recipe album

 

The weeks are whizzing by and here we are back at Friday again. Today's challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity is anything but a card. Maybe my favourite theme :)

 warning: very photo heavy post

I made the 'baked with love' title on the front, by taking a piece of Maya Road chipboard piece, painting it with PaperArtsy ~ Fresco paints and then using rub-ons for the words.

I've used mostly Webster's Pages ~ Sweet Season papers throughout, but I've thrown some other bits & pieces in. These are Christmas papers but I've tried not to have it all looking like Christmas as I wanted it to be a recipe book for the whole year through.

 

I have used both the 12 and 6 inch versions of the paper and lots of kraft paper.

 

Some of the edges have been die cut with a Magnolia ~ Doo Hickey die.

For this page I made a pocket and filled it with some handmade recipe tags.

 Back of tags:

The next page is a piece of Hambly acetate ... which I love.

Lots of machine stitching on this album ....

... and different sized pages.

A Maya Road Kraft Pocket.

Another pocket filled with tags.

 

 

 OK, this page is a fun one and one of my favourites.

Two mini pockets with pull out tags.

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• shabby sparkle: Cupcake Craft Challenges
• tags: A Spoon Full of Sugar

cherished love

Hello all and welcome to the weekend ... again.

This week at Crafts 4 Eternity we want to see your shaped cards and projects. So I have made a book spelling out the word LOVE.

This was actually bought as a chipboard book and I just covered it with paper and stuff.

Papers: My Mind's Eye ~ Love Me Do

I made eyelets with paper covered chipboard.

Thank you for looking and wishing you a lovely weekend.

Edited to add: LOVE to our Norwegian friends today. Such terrible, terrible things happening and our hearts are with you.
