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.
