My Italian Cookie Handmade Recipe Book

February 18th, 2008

This is the first ever “Bind It All” project and I did a lot of cussing! My O Wire is too small so I have to order larger and redo the binding but…C’est la vie!

I wanted to make this Italian Cookie Recipe Book for my mother. There are 10 cookie recipes inside (mostly my favorites) and I know she will love it- she better since I put countless hours into this! Not too shabby for the first attempt,

 The stamp set is Voilà by SU and I drew the cookies on the tray since it seemed fitting. Hope they look yummy. I took a picture of one of the inside pages on top and the cover (closer up below) I made a lot of mistakes since this was my first time doing a home made book- but I won’t point them out :)

This is a Stampin Up set only available in the UK, I had to get it. This is not one of my better works (lol) but I love the Beer mugs and look forward to creating more drink themed cards with this set.

Tattooed Heart

February 10th, 2008

Love my “Skin Deep ” Set by Technique Tuesday.  I wanted to use the tribal band too but had trouble with the layout- keeping it simple has never been easy for me. I cuttle bugged the white- leaving the middle bare for the sentiment which is actually from Kitchen Sink - 3 step hearts and roses set. The wings are glittery with stickles and the heart is glossy with liqued appliqué. Photos never seem to do it justice. I actually like this years Valentines Day card for the hubby. Its personalized and very rock star :)

Speaking of Rock Star.. Went to Foxwoods casino this weekend and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this in the window! Had to take a picture - I love BONO!! They weren’t selling the poster in the window only the T-sheets:)

I made a card for each of my sisters using the MFT “How Sweet it is” set. I personalized each of them with letter tiles/beads and colored them all in with the MM Markers by SU.  I think they came out cute and I’m sure the girls will love em :)

I couldn’t waist to play with my new “3 Step Hearts & Roses” by Kitchen Sink Stamps. Such pretty results every time and the roses are the most realistic you will get from rubber stamps!
