Recipe Box

Here is a little project that I was wanting to work on for quite a while. I finally finished it (mostly) and I think it came out pretty well! I mostly used the From My Kitchen cartridge, but I also used Create a Critter and Sweet Treats for a couple of the cuts. Can you guess which ones?! As for the patterned paper, I used the Citrus Stack from DCWV. I think the colors in that stack match my kitchen perfectly! As for the box, it's just a small wooden box that I got from Michael's for about $5. I just cut out the papers and used Modge Podge to glue it down. Once I got the main papers down, I got a sanding block and sanded down the corners/edges and inked around it a bit using Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink. I added another thin layer of glue to glue down the cut outs. Once that dried a bit, I added another fairly thick layer of glue to the whole box. I did about 2 more layers of glue and BAM! Finished! Now it's just time to print out some recipes and add 'em :) I will probably laminate the recipe cards though, just to make sure they are protected from spills.

I had so much fun making this. I'm currently makings a similar one for my mom. I'm using the Lemon Flower DCWV stack for hers to match her kitchen.

Thank you for coming by my page! Have a wonderful day :)

Cricut Cardz Challenge #106: "April Showers"

I am entering this little card into the Cricut Cardz Challenge (www.cardztv.blogspot.com).

I cut the bird, umbrella, clouds and rain drops from the Create a Critter cartridge. I also used the Accent Essentials cartridge to cut out the green/white polka dot and blue mats for the front and the inside of the card. The papers I used came from the ColorBok Spring Morning stack and from the DCWV Glam Gal stack. I inked around the clouds with some Tim Holtz distress ink in black soot and colored over the little rain drops using Gelly Roll Stardust pen in clear.

I can't wait to see everyone's cards! Thanks for taking a look at mine :)
