Hi there, this is Eva here today.  With Thanksgiving just around the corner I thought I would share with you a recipe book created with one of our newest dies, the Memory Book A2 Scallops and Rings.  Can you imagine creating a recipe book with all your favorite recipes and give it as a gift to someone?  I think they would love it!

To create this recipe book I started out using the spine of the book and die cut it using the Memory Book A2 Scallops and Rings out of corrugated craft card stock.  Then I die cut my cover pages out of black card stock and my insert pages out of cream color card stock.  I die cut a smaller size of the Horizon Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames out of cream color card stock and stamped my pretty background image on it.  I die cut the Bon Appetite out of a deep red card stock and placed it on the stamped panel, which I backed up with a light turquoise card stock to make it pop.  I added a little turquoise pearl on top. 

I also die cut one of the borders from the Royal Scandinavian Border Set out black card stock and added it to my spine as a decorative touch and finally tied it all together with a red seam binding ribbon.

Here is the list of items to create this fun recipe book:

BE103 - Memory Book A2 Scallops and Rings

B658 - Bon Appetit

DL270 - Horizon Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames

B524 - Royal Scandinavian Border Set

Well, hope this inspires you a little to create some recipe books to give away as a gift!  Thanks for stopping by and hope to see your creations in this week's challenge.

Hi there, this is Eva here today.  Did you see our Memory Book dies in our newest release?  Well, that gave me some ideas to create with.  I am sure you have also seen that Adult Coloring books are today's craze, so I thought why not make a home made one?  All you need is the Memory Book dies and some stamps and you are all set!  

So to create my book I die cut the binder part from the Memory Book A2 Scallops and Rings set out of light teal color card stock.  Then I die cut the cover pages out of black and since I was going to use watercolors.  I die cut the inside pages using water color card stock, however you can use plain white paper if you want a different coloring method, so you can decide on that.  

Then to decorate the outside of my book I die cut one of the dies out of the Coved Rectangle Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies set from water color paper and heat embossed my stamps on it using black embossing powder and colored it in with watercolor.  I added a sentiment and finally a ribbon to tie my book together.

Finally I just created the inside of my coloring book using stamps that lend more toward a coloring book theme, so here are the pages I have in the inside of my little book.  I think this will make a perfect gift for any occasion and imagine making some of these for Christmas.  Possibilities are endless!

Hope you like this little book and it inspires you! :)
