What's Cookin? A Craftology Box Album Tutorial

This is my first time creating a Craftology Box design team project for Country Craft Creations! I am so excited to be doing this for you! I am using the April Craftology Box to create this amazing album. I am using the GORGEOUS paper collection called "What's Cookin?" that is EXCLUSIVE to Country Craft Creations, and created by it amazing owner Tamra Kilgore-Merrill. This album/recipe book is big and wonderful and will hold a lot of pictures and recipes as it is intended to be a keepsake album. I hope you love it as much as I do!

This is a subscription box, so the cut list and pictures will be included in the package. If you haven't subscribed to the Craftology box, all of the measurements will be included in the tutorial. If you would like to check out the subscription or buy your papers for this album, please visit Country Craft Creations at their main page here... Country Craft Creations.

Thank you so much for watching!!

A recipe holder for my new kitchen

I was wandering around the Craft Warehouse and I came upon this awesome photo easel that I immediately bought.  It is heavy duty and was on sale for $5.88!  I thought about how I needed a recipe holder for my kitchen, and bought it.  It comes in two pieces (which is awesome for storage when I'm not using it).  I decided it was a little plain, so I decorated it.  That way, if I do leave it out it is cute!

 I had this paper from Farmhouse and thought it would be perfect.  I added a mat and photo corners to add a little more interest.

 It doesn't take up too much room, but is large enough to hold a cook book if I wanted.  I think it looks cool, and it works great!

I love being able to create useful things for myself.  I may go back and buy a bunch more and make them for presents!  (SHHHHHH!!!  Don't tell anyone I said that!)

Stay crafty, my friends!

Here's something different for you!

I have been on a low carb diet off and on for several years.  I feel better when I do it, sleep better, don't have heartburn, all of those wonderful things.  I also lose a little bit of weight!  Life happens and sometimes I have got to have chocolate and french fries...but then I feel physically bad and go back to a lower carb lifestyle, and I feel great.  Contrary to popular belief, I don't just eat meat!  I love veggies, and we eat TONS of them.  We just don't eat potatoes, rice, bread, pasta, flour, etc.  We are trying to choose "good" carbs for our diet.

That brings me to this post.  I discovered an awesome recipe, and I tried it and I LOVED IT!  Have you heard of "Oopsie Rolls"?  You can find tons of recipes and variations, but I followed the recipe here, at Heart of a Country Home.

I made the recipe, this shows two of the rolls I made, one face up and one face down, just to show you what the look like.

And here is my breakfast BLTC that I made.  I only used 1 1/2 strips of bacon (see, I told you I don't eat just meat, haha),  lettuce, tomato and a  slice of Muenster cheese.  IT WAS DELICIOUS!  I popped the rolls in the toaster for just a minute to crisp them a little, YUMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYY!  I really miss sandwiches, and this is going to be a life saver.  They work out to about 1 carb per roll, you use two for a sandwich.  Delicious!

Next I am going to try the recipe for these rolls I found here, and there is even a video to show how to do it.  I am on my way to the store to get the pans she used in a bit.   Have a great day, and I will let you know of any further yumminess I come across.

Stay Crafty, and HUNGRY, My Friends!
