Page 1 Recipe Book - CTMH EatPlayLove

You can see initial post on Recipe Book by clicking here.

Made this first page with pocket using CTMH cardstock. 

I used foam tape to attach pocket but before attaching I used

static pouch to remove the glue off sides of foam tape so the 

recipe card or anything else put into pocket would not get 

sticky/stuck in pocket. Used score board top left corner, I find 

it easy to line up the layers this way.

 
 


 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies

adhesive: ATG, foam tape

cardstock/paper: white, CTMH - Almond, Lagoon

  pattern - Eat, Play, Love

tool: score board (use this to line up the layers using top

  left corner), corner rounder (could not find my corner 

  rounder punch so I used WeR envelope maker board 

  that has a corner rounder)

Recipe Book - CTMH EatPlayLove

 Made this book following instructions by CTMH Consultant/Maker Natalya McFadden. Book has 5 pieces inside. I cut the 5 pieces of white cardstock & scored. Decided to use CTMH Eat, Play, Love cardstock for a recipe book to give to daughter. Added the outer layer before assembling. Will continue to add layers, pockets, etc. before assembling.

Box for Easter Gift Card - CTMH Cardstock

Happy Easter! 

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The older dog, Lab/Retriever Mix Daisy Rey, posed while the younger dog, German Shepherd/Husky Mix Holly Blossom, ran around. Had to bribe the younger one with a treat to get her to pose for picture. Made them treats with peanut butter, pumpkin, eggs & wheat flour. I really like my mixer sifter attachment that makes adding the flour easy.


Watched March Madness Basketball Gonzaga vs UCLA. Enjoyed the game including the ending Hail Mary basket toss.

 

Made this Box for Easter (gift card is slightly big so I will give without the belly band on) to give to my daughter. Cardstock is all CTMH. Used a new nylon pencil bone folder.

If anyone is interested in directions I can provide. 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Supplies

cardstock/paper: CTMH - Mint & pattern (Daisy Meadow)

tool: score board, new nylon scoring pencil bone folder,

  scissors, corner rounder (could not find my corner 

  rounder punch so I used WeR envelope maker board 

  that has a corner rounder)

4. We dropped tv cable. Had Spectrum and promo ended

    a couple mths ago. We kept internet  Bill went up from

    $118/mth to $180/mth. Bill will be $80/mth with all the 

    fees & taxes. They only want to give you a good price 

    if you are a new customer and if you do not bundle they 

    do not want to offer you much of anything to stay with

    them. They did offer us bundling with mobile phone but 

    we are happy with Verizon for our cell phones. Hubby

    installed an antenna and new cable wiring (both bought 

    on amazon) in attic a couple of wks ago and we have 

    been watching/monitoring using antenna to see how 

    reception was. Both tvs are getting great reception. We 

    returned the tv cable equipment and exchanged the

    internet modem & router for new equipment since what 

    we had was old and there were issues with us having to 

    reset it alot lately. Everything is connected and working 

    great. We were with Frontier before Spectrum and may

    go back to Frontier for internet.

    Anyone out there thinking about this or done the same, 

    as in use an antenna & drop tv cable?

 

  5. Happy Easter

      Tradition use to be color/dye eggs when daughter was

       younger. Now I color/dye plastic eggs using Tim Holtz

       alcohol ink. 







     

 

 

 

 

 

 

     We will have traditional ham for Easter at home with

      baked sweet potatoes & salad with fresh vegs from our

      garden. Dessert is going to be Tippin's (there use to be

      a Tippin's restaurant here yrs ago, breakfast & pies

      great, Tom Thumb is selling the Tippin's Pies) Key 

      Lime Pie. Went today, and bought only one Key Lime

      Pie they had (rest were all Coconut Cream).
