January and February Pages

January

January's page is a recipe for Key West Chicken. I use this recipe a lot in the summer. I like to barbeque and this recipe is a good one for the grill and it's really pretty healthy. There's lots of steps to this page so I'll try to give you the best directions I can.


1) Layer your paper on the background paper which is an orange floral. You have a solid orange that goes down the left side, bottom. Next to it you have a lime green and an aqua blue. Above those is a brown and above those is a small lime green and a second aqua piece.

2) Place the 3 polka dots strips as shown in the picture (lower left, upper left and upper right).

3) Cut the flocked flower into 2 pieces, making one larger than the other. Place the large one on the left edge and the smaller one on the right bottom edge.

4) Use rub-on numbers to number the steps in the directions of the recipe. Cut out and adhere to page.

5) Attach paper circles to metal charms. Glue dot ribbon behind, folding in half to make a loop. Attach to page with foam tape or glue dots.


February

This recipe came from a friend of mine and boy does it come in handy when you need something ready when you get home from work. French dip sandwiches, where the meat cooks all day in the crock pot. YUM!

Hints for this Page: White cardstock is your background and you have two strips of paper that you adhere to the left and right edges of the page. I inked the edges of the recipe with spiced marmalade (Tim Holtz Distressing Ink), tied the twine around the bottom and adhered it to the page. There are 12 circles to adhere, I hung them over the top and bottom edge to make it look as though they were part of the print on the page. Two of the circles have added embellishment in the center of them. The title of the recipe (French Dip Sandwiches) is printed on the hot pink paper. You'll need to punch those out and adhere to the left and right sides of the printed recipe.
