Better Living Through Scrapbooking October Challenge #4: Favorite Recipe Create a page showcasing your favorite recipe that you received from your mother, grandmother, or other relative or family friend. Sponsored supplies used: Cardstock: Discount Cardstock “Clove Felt Cardstock 80# 12x12,” ” Brilliant White Cardstock 80# 12x12” Paint, stencil, adhesive: Plaid “Apple Barrel: Vanilla Ice Cream,” “Simply Stencils Value Packs: Damask,” “Mod Podge: Paper” & “Matte” Vintage ledger, book & sheet music paper, lace trim, nylon thread: Gauche Alchemy “Acme Mixed Media Paper Crafting Kit” Stamp: For the Luv of Art “Sweet Ollie stamp set” Additional supplies used: 60s fashion paper: Chronicle Books “Hemlines: Mix and Match Stationery” Alpha stickers: October Afternoon “Mini Market Stickers: Black & Cream,” Basic Grey “Max and Whiskers: Micro Mono Stickers;” Chipboard utensils: Cosmo Cricket “Early Bird: Ready Set Chipboard;” Felt accents: Basic Grey “Nook and Pantry: Woolies;” Sequins: Doodlebug Designs, Inc: “Flower Sequins: Rasberry Sunrise” & “Seabreeze;” Punch: Martha Stewart Crafts “Craft Punches: Monarch Butterfly Embossing Punch” Journaling: My wonderfully talented mom has always loved spaghetti; in our house, Italian food is pretty much a staple. What’s even better is Mom’s homemade sauce! It makes the meal. Chosen criteria: 1. Include a photo of yourself preparing the dish, or a photo of the completed dish. 3. Make a copy of the original recipe, or hand write the recipe on a card and include it on your layout. 5. Use a shape punch or border punch somewhere on your page. Techniques: After stenciling and painting in my own damask pattern on a sheet of Brilliant White cardstock, I ended up loosely tracing over the designs with a black pen and then cutting them out individually, making sure to leave a white border around them. I then adhered the pattern to the Clove Felt cardstock to use as my base for this layout. To soften the hot pink of the lace, I painted over it with Vanilla Ice Cream acrylic paint. A couple of layers allowed some of the pink to show through, just enough to give it a rosy tint and to better blend in with the other elements of my layout. As in my October newsletter project, I customized my For the Luv of Art stamp set to suit my needs. This time, I took the tiny “You are my ♥” stamp and cut it apart to form the word “yum.” Again, because the stamp is acrylic, I can just piece it back together on an acrylic block and use it whole!
