Holiday Workshop 2009

You'll need to enlarge the photo to read the details. Hope you can make it. We would love for you to join us for some Holiday fun.

Holiday Workshop - Saturday, December 6th

Saturday we had our holiday workshop. It was so much fun. Thought those of you that weren't able to join us would like to see the projects. Thanks to everyone that joined in the fun - we really appreciate your willingness to put up with us for a full day.

PROJECT #1 - Photo Frame

PROJECT #2 - Advent Tree

PROJECT #3 - Star Album

PROJECT #4 - Photo Tree

Seven Dwarfs Album

Over a year ago I promised I would post the album that I made for the Scrapbook Station. I'm finally getting the job done. Sorry it has taken me so long.

I used an album in a box by Melissa Francis and painted the entire box and album. After it dries you can go ahead and start making your album.

This is the lid of the box.

I would suggest that you lay your album in your box, so that you can easily see where you should start. I put Doc on the first flap and then when you lift the accordion album out of the box the other six dwarfs are all on the opposite side of Doc. In other words, Doc is on one side and if you turn the album over, you'll see all the other dwarfs. The pictures below show the order I have them in, but you could mix them around without having too much of a problem. "Happy" needs to be last if you use the same wording that I have on each page. Have fun making this album, its one of those projects that's all fun. Other things I did...... I inked the edges of the paper before adhering and I set 3 eyelets in each page (as you can see the first page has 6, 3 on each side, because "Doc" is on one side and "Sleepy" is on the back side.

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.

November Recipe 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.

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.
