My Kitchen Cabinet Cookbook

This is my handmade Cookbook.  The cabinet was a $1 unfinished wood piece from Michaels

 The recipes are typed on the back of each tag, then labeled.  When finished, there will be a recipe in each pocket. I made this for my Holiday recipes, and plan to make more for gifts.

"Paris Nights" Mini Album

 I recently completed this "Paris Nights" mini album.   It has many pages with vintage Paris ads and ephemera.  There's lots of space for photos and journaling.

You can't have a French theme without Fleur De lis.   This fence page reminds me of the ironwork in New Orleans.

This paper had a few pages of vintage French ads!  I found one that says "Cafe-Concert."   I placed it on this banner cut-out, on top of a page with musical notes.

Another pocket page with French ads and ephemera.  I left some of the journeling tags in the pocket for this photo.

I was really happy with the way this page turned out.  Pin stripes with a French banner and a little journeling booklet. 

Cream colors, simple page, but elegant.

All of the pages of this album have pockets.  I removed the photo and journeling tags so you can see the contrast.




Thanks for visiting.   Wishing you a wonderful week!

Mini Album and Shabby Chic Bag

 I just finished up this Mini Album and Shabby Chic gift bag.  The album has six pages in all, and is made to hold photos, tags and momentos.  I printed the front of the gift bag on muslin with an Art Noveau image.   

     

This is a photo of the back of the cover and page 2 of the mini.  There are places to slip in small photos, tags and journaling cards.

Page 4 is a photo mat and Page 5 has a slip area for photos, tags and journaling card.

My Vintage Shabby Chic Journal

I decided to try my hand at making a  Journal so I can keep a good record of my flowers and plants.   I took the cover off a book from the thrift store and covered it with a pretty gardening scene from The Graphics Fairy.  

Then I made lots of pages and bound them using my "Bind-it-all."  So now I have lots of room to recount the trials and tribulations of my gardening efforts. 

I have plain journaling pages to write my gardening advertures and misadventures.

Pages for Photos and Momentos of my gardening (I use that term lightly).

A page with pockets to slip in those information tags that come with plants.  It didn't turn out well, but it's for gardening.  Nature isn't perfect either, it's just prettier!  ;=)
