Summertime Fun

I have lots to add today since I got this idea to use my

new Little Yellow Bicycle to make a Recipe Box

and a few other things.  The colors were super bright and

filled with lemons and watermelons and things that would

be perfect to hold recipes for my summer goodies that I 

make when the temperatures are super hot and I would rather

be cooking on the barbeque or making salads.

For this project I cut 2 pieces of paper 12 x 4 and glued them

together and used my favorite Scor tape to hold it on to the

metal lunch tin box that I purchased.

I cut a white Spellbinders scallop and put the word recipes on it 

and used one of the clear transparencies by LYB over it. 

For the border I used a Martha Stewart punch and glued that on the top and

bottom of the lunchpail and then added ribbons and some of the

 flower stickers and buttons that come with the set.

For the inside I made dividers for my recipes

and decorated them with scraps of paper. I can't 

wait to put in lots of fun recipes now :)

I was in a creative mood and wanted to find

a few cheap things to create with so I hit the $1 store

and found this cute dry erase board so I created

the backround on a flat canvas board for stability

and added lots of chipboard pieces and used my 

handy dandy crop a dile to make holes for a ribbon

at the top to hang it up in the kitchen.  And now here

is a plug for my favorite glue..  I used Scotch quick dry

adhesive to glue all this down and no lie it only took me

about 10 mins to put it together once all the pieces were 

cut... it works awesome for flowers too.

Here are a few cards I made with the scraps from

the first 2 projects.  They are super simple from my

normal things but sometimes you need a quick card

to give and its fun to make things to have ready when

you need them for a gift or just to send......

Thanks for stopping by...
