July Recipe Page



Well, it's still July and I finally got this ready to post for all of you. I think this salad is one that could help cool you off in this lovely heat that we have been experiencing.

When making this page here are a few tips.
1) Mickey and Minnie are popped up from the page. I used foam tape.
2) White cardstock is the background and the black is covering the bottom half of the page.
3) I used a black pen to add stitch marks around the recipe and there is a spiral clip off to the left, next to Mickey.

Enjoy ladies!

FACES I LOVE ALBUM

Well, I'm finally getting this posted for those of you that bought the kit and didn't get a chance to come in the store and finish your kit.

You will need to cut the following pieces of paper:

1 - 6 X 8 inch piece (lid)
2 - 1-1/2 X 12 inch pieces (outside of box)- should be out of the same print
12 - 3 X 6 inch pieces (album pages) - random patterns

When covering the lid glue the top down. Then make a cut straight in toward the top of the lid at each corner (8 total). Glue the 4 diagonal corners first, then the 4 remaining sides. Cut the paper flush with the bottom each of the lid. NOTE: You don't want to fold it under because your lid won't fit properly. Glue ric rac around the edge of lid.

Wrap the outside of your box with paper. You'll have excess from the second piece that you will need to trim. NOTE: My box lid was a little loose so I wrapped a third and fourth piece of blue paper measuring 3/4 inch around the box at the top.

Glue your first 6 pieces of paper to your album, wrapping the corners around the edge and adhering. Cover the back side of the album with the remaining 6 pieces of printed paper, but this time you will want to trim your edges flush with the corners.

This album will hold 12 wallet sized photos. Use photos to embellish your album.
