Basic Grey - Herbs and Honey - Recipe Box

Hello,

I like to think outside the box - hehe - inside joke because today I have created a 'box' for you.  A Recipe Box - featuring the gorgeous papers and embellishments from Basic Grey - Herbs and Honey range.

Worn Christmas Cover

It's November, and you know what that means.. the Countdown to Christmas is on.

Christmas is my very favourite time of the year. There is just something truly magical about Christmas.  Even though for me,  Christmas is normally spent at the beach, I would one day love to have a cold Christmas, or even better a White Christmas. Until then I will just have to make do with the gorgeous Christmas lines that are available..

 

Today I've got just the outside of my Christmas Journal to share with you. I am actually organised this year and have it finished before December.! ( well the cover anyway!) There are so many options and choices of gorgeous Christmas lines out right now.. Í have of course gone with Vintage Christmas and some gorgeous Tim Holtz lines..

Basic Grey - Herbs and Honey - Recipe Book

Hello,

Recipe Books.... mmmm... I am sure I have at least 10! How many do you have and do you use them regularly or are you like me and always refer to the same basic meals from a variety of books?

Here is a way to keep all your favourites in the same book and of course there is plenty of space to add your new favourites as you collect them!

Fancy Pants Accordian Flip Album

Hello,

I was spending time in the crafty world of blogland and came across this fantastic Accordian Flip Album. This is an amazing project - perfect as a gift - you end up with 9 places to add photos and I have created pockets on two of the panels in which I have added tags.

Castle Dreams

Once upon a dream....

Hello, one of my dreams has always been to take my children to Disneyland...  This year we were so excited to be able to do so!!   See, Dreams do come true!!

Love To Shop.... In Tokyo...

Hello

I learnt something new yesterday - the reason why Graphic 45 is called Graphic 45... Do you know why?

In a nutshell - Graphic 45 is a Mother and 2 Daughter team - at the age of 45, the Mother went back to 'school' and studied Graphic Design - hence the name Graphic 45...  Inspiring isn't it?

On some paper designs it is quite clear to see which is the 'main side' and which is the back - on others not as clear.  In this case for my following layouts - I have actually used the other side! (I know this is the other side - as the paper is called "Shanghai Girls" - I have not used the side with the girls on hehe)

Oops, sorry forgot to mention - got side-tracked with my sharing my inspirational 'new knowledge' - I am using Graphic 45 Bird Song Collection - Shanghai Girls for the layouts.

I created these pages side by side - when I create layouts like this - I guess you could call it a double layout - I like to design them so that they can also stand alone if for some reason I need to separate them in my album.  The layout to the left is titled "Love to Shop" and below "In Tokyo" - so they work together as well as alone.
