A Chirper Recipe

Please Scroll Down for My Flutterby Wednesday Post

For the Chirper Challenge we are joining forces with a new challenge blog, Creative Cookbooking. Creative Cookbooking is the brain child of Debbie Sherman.

Here’s what she has to say. “Creative cookbooking is scrapbooking your recipies! It's about sharing and creating your own personal cookbook. The best part about doing this is, every recipe in your book has been tried and tested by you! The next best thing is you love every recipe in this cookbook!!!

Our Chirper / Creative Cookbooking challenge is to create a recipe page (any size you wish-mine is 8x8) featuring your favorite pumpkin treat. Please include a picture of the dish and the recipe on your page as well as a Cricut cut. The Creative Cookbooking challenge is to include any die cut, not specifically Cricut. So those who aren’t lucky enough to own a Cricut, you can play along too!

Do you remember the day that I spent at the pumpkin patch with “the Aunt’s”? This is why I wanted to go. I wanted to personalize this page with a picture of them “hunting” for pumpkins!

I cut the title using the Lyrical Letters cartrudge. I used the George cartridge to cutout 5 ovals, about 6 “ each for the pumpkin. I chalked in red around the ovals and aranged them to look like a pumpkin. I’d seen this done but hadn’t tried it. I think it worked out great.

When you pull on the pumpkins green ribbon stem . . .

I made picks for the cupcakes using the pumpkin and spider cuts from the Doodlecharms cartridge. I tied a little yellow ribbon (that reminds me of a song-hehe) around each one for extra decoration.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my project. I love the Creative Cookbooking challenge and definately plan to participate again. However, I have to catch up on a few challenges – favorite soup and bread, favorite main dish and favorite Halloween dessert or cookie. I think I’ll just combine the favorite Halloween dessert with the favorite pumpkin treat challenge. It works for me anyway!!!

If you would like to participate in the Chirper Challenge, you can go to the challenge blog and see all of the DT projects before you get started!

Blessings,
