November & December Recipe Pages

I can't believe we are wrapping up another year of recipe class. We finished a little early this year, as I didn't want to compete with Christmas parties for meeting space. This year seemed to fly by, I can't believe we finished our 4th recipe album. Thanks to all of you that sign-up each year. I just love making these pages and getting a chance to get together once a month to visit and catch up with all of you.

Here's December's page:

There aren't any real tricks to this page. I gave you a full piece of gold paper in your kit. Use this sheet to build the page. The "Bo-Bunny" paper with the winter snowflakes needs to have a 1-1/4 inch strip cut so that you can adhere the smaller strip to the bottom of the page and the larger strip to the top of the page. The rest of the paper is layered as you see it. You'll have an extra piece of red to use for matting your word "Christmas" and "favorite". I popped those off of the page using foam tape. The "grungeboard" circles are inked with red prior to adhering to the page.

I don't think you'll have any problems with this page. You'll want to watercolor your chef and cut out his pants to adhere to the stamped image. The frame (measuring 3-1/2 inches square on the outside edge and 1/2 inch in thickness) is cut from the scraps that you'll have when you cut the recipe down to measure 7 X 7. I inked the edge with brown and adhered it to your diagonal plaid that measures 8 X 8. As a last embellishment you'll need to set your three metal buttons in the upper right hand corner.
