Recipe Challenge Day 5

Today is the last day of the Recipe Challenge.  I hope you all have enjoyed seeing the beautiful projects our team has put together as much as I have enjoyed them.  Our guest designer for the final day is Rheannon.  She has put together a gorgeous recipe card book with our vintage images.  It is filled with bright color papers and pockets.  This project is sure to make cooking fun.

Her is her bio in her own words.
Bio: My name is Rheannon. I live in North Idaho, married to a wonderful man, and have an incredible soon to be 6 year old son. I love all types of crafts but have a particular love for paper. I work at a private school during the day, play with my son in the afternoon, and craft till midnight!

Project details: My recipe card book is 7x6 inches with a pocket perfect for a standard size recipe card. I used K&Co (Amy Butler - Lucky Flowers) paper throughout. I kept the embellishments very simple as I plan to use this baby in the kitchen. I love the bold colors and stitching. Simple textures with small Primas and folded paper mimic 50's style's I am fond of. The book is finished with my bind-it-all. Cora's images were easily re-sized with perfect clarity for this project.

You can see more of Rheannon's beautiful art work on her blog.

This is the title page of the book.  Have fun creating!

Recipe Challenge Day 4

It is Day 4 and only one more day left of our challenge.  I hope you are enjoying the vintage images.  Most of them are from the The Larkin Housewives Cook Book from 1914.  All the hostesses have been working for over a month to bring you their projects.  Please take the time to look, enjoy and comment on their work.  They all have done an amazing job. Our guest designer today  is Jane.  She has made another beautiful project using the vintage freebie images.  It is so much fun to see how different people are using these images.  I just love Jane's attention to detail. You can see more of her exciting designs on her blog.  Here is a little info about Jane:

"My name is Jane and I have been married to a wonderful man for 30 years. We have three grown daughters and 5 grandsons. I just recently retired and we are in the process of relocating to my husband's hometown.
I have been crafting for most of my life. I have been doing paper crafting for 10 years now. I love the vintage look and also country farm vintage. I had so much fun doing this recipe book. The digi images were so wonderful to work with. I love the digi idea because if you make a mistake you can just print another. Also the storage is great! I love working with all the papers, buttons, ribbons, and anything you use to make beautiful creations.  I am lucky to have been chosen for two permanent positions on two design teams and I am honored to have been chosen by Cora to do this recipe challenge. I hope you love her digi's as much as I do..."

Recipe Challenge Day 3

Today's guest hostess is Christine from Boise, Idaho.  Christine's excitement over the project can be seen in every page.  She has taken the images added color and vintage papers by The Paper Studio and the buttons are from her vintage stash and the ribbon is rayon seambinding that she dyed herself with watercolor paints. You can see more of her beautiful work and more pages in her vintage cookbook on her blog http://changeofheart56.blogspot.com/ .  Make sure if you use any other the vintage images or make a recipe book you post your project here in the comments section so we can all see what you create.

Recipe Challenge Day 2

Here we are in day two of our recipe challenge.  I hope you are enjoying the images as well as the projects.  Today's guest designer is Traci.  She has in the tradition of Digital Two for Tuesday created digital pages using the images.  I love the contrast between each designer's style.  Traci's work is full of color and excitement.  You can find a link to download the pages and more photos on her blog.  Here is her bio in her own words.

"I am a long time crafter and have tried just about anything you can imagine. I am a digital designer for the scrapbook industry, currently selling my kits in two different stores. I am the family memory keeper, so I am also deeply involved in genealogy, which dovetails nicely with scrapbooking. I make my own cards, which I think you can say about most scrappers......I also love quilling, teabag folding and iris folding. I have an obscene number of stamps and inks, which I do my best to use as often as I can, especially on my cards.

This project for the cookbook was a great deal of fun to do. The papers and elements I used in combination with your charming images were designed completely by me using Photoshop. As such, this is completely digital, which I know is something of a departure for your blog. Thank you for taking a chance by inviting me to display my work here."
