Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy (#CD00337)

By

Yes, another recipe page.  Here and there I like to do one.  My plan is to give each of the girls a book of family favorites.  I hope it is a long time before the gift is given but I don’t want to wait till the last minute. 
 
This layout uses Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00337 Henny Hen.  Pretty simple layout… ribbons, brads and some cut up strips to make straw.

Laundry Soap recipe (#CD00646)

By

Disclaimer: strips are straighter than they appear.  LOL  I used just the border of Visual Designs by Chris #CD00646 MY LOVE FOR YOU.  I like using bits of a file for things they weren’t really created for.  This strip looked like bubbles to me.  Created larger bubbles with circle and tear drop punches.  Inked the bubbles a little with Close to My Heart ink.  Just cut strips of yellow to add as separation.

Recipe LO: Ma’s Apple Pie

By

This is my ma’s yummy apple pie recipe!  I used just the apple from the Visual Design by Chris file #CD00331 APPLE FOR THE TEACHER.  I cut the apples out in white and cut off the leaf.   I inked the apples with mauve, red and tea dye Distress inks adding highlights with a white gel pen.  Then I cut the regular leaves in green.  The title is Quickutz Maggie mini and an apple and tear drop punch – inked like the other apples.  Some fun ribbon and pop dotting of a couple of the apples.  Added a bit of white gel pen highlights along the edges of the layout.

I dont want you to miss a gift certificate….

By

Quickly before I post my freebie… Visit I love Knk for a chance to win a gift Certficate.
Sandy of http://www.iloveknk.com/ has been a phenomenal support for me. She continuously answers my many questions regarding the Klik-n-kut. It’s software and of the possibilities. She also is an enabler when it comes to the cutting machines as they are her passion. And I being a person that owns quite a few myself, can completely understand that.  I have attended a KNK retreat and I highly recommend it. She is my go to person for KNK and I refer everyone I know there as they will receive the highest level of help and continued support. I have met Sandy and she is just as awesome in person as she is over the phone/email.
Thank you to Sandy for helping us to party for the 2nd anniversary!
