This is further experimentation into creating fun and interesting recipe boxes of different shapes and sizes with a scrapbooking flair. You'll notice that my ribbon concept EXPLODED. I kinda like it! The cookie recipe box comes complete with a set of yummy cookie recipes, including cookies for different holidays throughout the year.
The ThreeWayAction crafts fair is around the corner, and I'm starting to mock up some concepts for projects I want to offer. One concept I'm kicking around is a series of recipe cards. I won't give away how I'm planning to actually package them, so that can be a nice little surprise once the auctions start in October. But here is a sneak peek into what's in store.
I'll probably setup a shop and sell these on Etsy too. Has anyone had a good Etsy experience?
I have a new kit available. Here is a sample of one of the Quick Pages included in the kit. I think I'm going to create a whole pre-made book with 10 Quick Pages using this new kit to offer for the holidays.
The kit includes about 10 papers, 4 borders, a series of tags, slides, and chipboard tiles, all in a festive mix of cherry pie and apple pie a la mode colors. With a little blue plate special thrown in the mix.
With all of the doodling, handwriting, and inking going on in the scrapbook world right now, I'm happy to report that Black is the New Black! I have found myself jumping aboard, and embracing the style with much enthusiasm. When my grandchildren look back at my 2006 scrapbook, they'll refer to it as "Grandamme's Dark Ages".
Last year, I went through my "Pink Period", and perhaps next year will be "The Year of the Earth Tone". But for now, I'm cranking up the AC/DC and freestylin' with the Sharpie. I outlined every single damn element in the K & Company mini book in black, and today as I was working on my new upcoming collections for autumn, I found myself tuning the Lightness on my Hue/Saturation dial down to nearly nothing.
If these layouts get any darker, we'll have to bust out the black light, and call it a party!
How have you been using black in your layouts or designs these days?
