October's page features a recipe called "Copper Carrots". It is one of my favorites. The background page is cut from the "celebrate" paper. I cut an equal amount off of all 4 sides so that I could utilize the pattern. The orange Bazzill paper is cut 6 3/4 inch square for those of you that are making 8 inch pages. I adhered it in the bottom right corner rather than centering it on the page. I inked the edge of the recipe circle with brown ink. I added stitching with a brown writer pen and when you put your tacks into the page use something squishy (like a mouse pad) to push into and then bend the points over on the back side with your scissor handle.
The November page is relatively easy to assemble, but save your scraps - you'll need them for the rectangles with written words or phrases. I used the darker side of the rust-red Chatterbox cardstock as the background. I backed 3 of the 4 rectangles and popped them up with foam tape. I didn't pop up the "family favorite" square.
My December page was designed to look like a wrapped package and the recipe is the tag. I inked the edge of the recipe tag. The ribbon is actually 3 separate pieces. Two of them are glued down and the third is tied into a bow and glue dotted onto the top of the tag to make it appear as if it was tied onto the page. I added a metal charm and three "Christmas" clips with cute little phrases.I hope everyone enjoys their Holiday Season. I wish each and everyone a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
