Recipe Challenge Day 3

Today's guest hostess is Christine from Boise, Idaho.  Christine's excitement over the project can be seen in every page.  She has taken the images added color and vintage papers by The Paper Studio and the buttons are from her vintage stash and the ribbon is rayon seambinding that she dyed herself with watercolor paints. You can see more of her beautiful work and more pages in her vintage cookbook on her blog http://changeofheart56.blogspot.com/ .  Make sure if you use any other the vintage images or make a recipe book you post your project here in the comments section so we can all see what you create.

Recipe Challenge Day 2

Here we are in day two of our recipe challenge.  I hope you are enjoying the images as well as the projects.  Today's guest designer is Traci.  She has in the tradition of Digital Two for Tuesday created digital pages using the images.  I love the contrast between each designer's style.  Traci's work is full of color and excitement.  You can find a link to download the pages and more photos on her blog.  Here is her bio in her own words.

"I am a long time crafter and have tried just about anything you can imagine. I am a digital designer for the scrapbook industry, currently selling my kits in two different stores. I am the family memory keeper, so I am also deeply involved in genealogy, which dovetails nicely with scrapbooking. I make my own cards, which I think you can say about most scrappers......I also love quilling, teabag folding and iris folding. I have an obscene number of stamps and inks, which I do my best to use as often as I can, especially on my cards.

This project for the cookbook was a great deal of fun to do. The papers and elements I used in combination with your charming images were designed completely by me using Photoshop. As such, this is completely digital, which I know is something of a departure for your blog. Thank you for taking a chance by inviting me to display my work here." 

You can find a link to these beautiful digital images and more amazing pages on Traci's blog Prairie Woman Design.

Recipe Challenge Day 1

Next week will be our one year anniversary.  So in honor of that occasion I will be posting from Monday to Friday vintage cookbook images which our guest designers have used to make wonderful recipe books or cards. Each day we will showcase a different international designer and more images.  Be sure to check back everyday and collect all the images.   I hope you will be inspired to make a recipe book for a teacher or a bride and share it with us. 

Our first hostess in Lenet.  Lenet has made for us a beautiful vintage recipe box.  I love how she makes the images blend with the page.  Here is here bio in her own words.
"My Name is Lenet Mos. I live with my husband, two kids, and two ginger tom cats in the Netherlands. I’m a stay at home mom and have always been creative at some way. I discovered scrapbooking about 4 years ago. I started making cards in July 2009. At the moment I’m totally into card making. I think you can say I’m a bit addicted to it. Every spare moment I have, I spend on being creative, I love being creative there is so much more I want to do,but there are not enough hours in a day.

I used a bare elements treasure chest from Creative Imaginations.  I decorated it with paper from K&Company,some lace and I distressed it with tea dye distressing ink from Ranger.  The recipe label at the box is a stamp from Waltzing Mouse.

Digital Two for Tuesday 50

The images this week are from a children's book of poetry from the early 1900's.  I hope you enjoy.

This week's guest artist is Terri Snode.  Terri has been a hostess before and has created another amazing set of projects.  I love her use of color and the layout of her cards.  Please welcome Terri back.

Here are Terri's two projects.

Girl in Garden

I used a white cardstock base and papers by DCWV. I edge the pink gingham paper with a gold metallic pen and the image was colored with Tombow Markers. The epoxy sticker is from K & Co, the flowers are prima and the pink gingham ribbon was added to tie in all the colors.

Boy with Birds

The image was colored with prismacolor pencils and thinner. Striped background paper is by DCWV and the diamond papers in the corners is from Paper Pizzaz.The image and mat were cut out using Nestabilities Label die. I ran the mat through the Cuttlebug using a vine design to add dimension and the "family" sticker is K & Company. Pop dots were used to add dimension.

Here is Terri's bio in here own words.  I began stamping in 2004. Although I love to use rubber and clear stamps, I find myself using more digis now. When I teach classes, I use rubber and clear stamps because of the flexibility in different techniques. However, when I need a quick card or working on challenges, I go to my digis. I began teaching a card technique class at our local library last summer and the ladies enjoyed it so much, we decided to continue through this year. Thanks to a dear friend, Darlene, I started doing challenges and have finally started thinking "out of the box."   You can see more of Terri's beautiful artwork on her blog.

Recipe Challenge

Starting the 8th of June we will be featuring daily a designer who accepted my recipe book/card challenge.  There are five designer in total.  I hope you all will stop by every day to see the amazing projects these designers have created and of course I will be posting daily the images so you can make your own vintage recipe book.  I have seen some sneak previews of the projects and they are show stoppers.  Remember, you will need to stop by everyday to collect all the great vintage images they have included in their projects.  What a beautiful gift one of these projects would be for a June bride! Here is a tease for those of you who can wait to see the images. 

Digital Two for Tuesday 49

The two images for this week's challenge are from a John Martin's children's book from the 1920's. I love these two little girls.   We are lucky to have a guest designer from the Netherlands this week.  Her work is so beautiful and each card she makes has so much detail.  Lenet's choice of papers and color add to the vintage feel of her projects.  Here is her bio in her own words.  "My Name is Lenet Mos. I live with my husband, two kids, and two ginger tomcats in the Netherlands. I’m a stay at home mom and have been scrapbooking for about 4 years now. I started making cards in July 2009. At the moment I’m totally into card making. I think you can say I’m a bit addicted to it. Every spare moment I have, I spend on being creative, I love being creative there is so much more I want to do,but there are not enough hours in a day.
I’m very exited and honored to be chosen to be the guest designer for this week. I hope you like the card I made with the image."  You can see more of Lenet's work on her extremely creative blog To Scrap or Not To Scrap.

Digital Two for Tuesday 48

Wow, almost a year of posts.  It is hard to believe.  It is so much fun to see what the host each week creates with the digital images.  I have learned so much from all of you.  You would never know that I use to be a die hard rubber stamper and would never consider digi stamps as a form of artwork. I think our guest hosts each week prove that statement incorrect and this weeks hostess is no exception.  She has created two beautiful projects using these great old images from the Jordan Marsh catalogue from 1885.  I just love her coloring of these detailed images.  Margie has not been feeling well lately so here is sending her a big get well soon. 

Here is Margie's bio in her own words.   "My name is Margie Overman. I live in Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles.  I love being creative and create work of Art. I use different Art Mediums from Distress Inks to Crayola Twistables to create my work of Art.

I also teach Paper Crafts. I´m an endorsed Paper Craft teacher from Urban Swank teaching Paper Crafts and Home Decorative projects with the gorgeous Urban Lily´s products.

How I created the projects. 
Project 1:

I started with coloring the girls in the Image with Crayola Twistables. I glued the image to a white big card stock and after that I used Glimmer Mist Spray and sprayed the image with the nice sparkling paint. It gives a nice shine to the Image.

Project 2:

I colored the girls with Crayola Markers and also Distress Inks from Ranger with the Ranger paint nibs.  After I glued the image to the card size 5x5 Inches, I punched 2 holes in the card and placed a bow on the card.  As the finishing touch I adhered 2 3D Heart Stickers to the card."
