September and October Recipes Pages

September




Marinated Mushrooms, yummy! This recipe has lots of flavor with all the herbs to season those tasty little morsels. When you get your kit, you'll see that all of the words and herbs are on one sheet of paper and you'll be cutting them out to use on this page. I used green ink to embellish the edge of the background paper and recipe card. This is one of those pages where you can let the creativity flow....enjoy.


October


How many times have you heard, "What's for Dinner?" Well, I know my mom would tell you, "too many to count!" I had lots of fun with this page. I used my new 12-inch revolution platform to cut the tri-colored braid that runs down the left side of the page. You'll need to do the braiding when you get your kit. The letters for "dinner" are included in your kit, but will need to be punched out using a circle punch (I used varying sizes, as the letters are different sizes) and then I sanded the edges to expose the white core. I inked the small tag with a matching green and wrote the words, "what's for". Recipe cards are all on one sheet of paper that you will need to cut apart. I have included the recipes, but you'll need to do your own copying of the recipes onto the cards, then pick your favorite to adhere to the front of the pocket and tuck the remaining cards into the top of the pocket. This is really fun paper, I hope you like it as much as I did when I found it!

July and August Recipe Pages

We had lots of fun at recipe class last night and will be having a repeat performance again tonight. Here are the pages we did last night. We are getting a little ahead of ourselves because I'm anticipating difficulty in reserving a room in late November, early December. So, we will be doing July and August pages this month. Next month we will be doing September and October and then we won't be meeting again until October (skipping September).

July Page


This page won't take you very long to make, but I think you'll love it. Besides, it will give you more time to prepare your salmon for grilling. I'll be honest, I haven't made this recipe. I got it from a family member and everyone that eats salmon raves about it. I don't eat salmon, but I did try a bite and it had good flavor, for salmon! I don't think there are too many tricks to the page. As you can see I tore edges and inked the recipe using a dark blue ink. I tied ribbons through the bottom of the metal arrow, making it look like a rocket. The rhinestones are adhesive-backed, but you'll need to cut through the adhesive if you want to space them as shown in the picture.


August Page


I hope you like watermelon.........


Hints for this page: Cut around all the stamped images. The pink fleshy part of the watermelon is adhered to the green rind, in other words, don't cut out the rind, leave the inside so you can glue the pink to the green. The recipe cards are cut 3X5 and the vellum envelope is attached using four brads. You'll need to tie the ribbon through the metal charm in your kit (they are not all the same, but it will either have to do with cooking or summer picnics) and then glue dot it onto the page.

June Recipe Page


Your kit includes the pattern pieces for this Mr. Potato Head paper piecing. I used chalk around the edges and a black writer pen to embellish and put the finishing touches to this page.
