Ooh-La-La Patissierie Configuration Album Tutorial

Hi all and welcome to my blog. I'm using a lovely collection exclusive to Country Craft Creations. Ooh-La-La Patissierie is a collection for the baker in all of us. I made this fun configuration album and it hold so many recipe cards and has a lot of room for photos.

In the videos description I have for you a cut guide for the project. There are also links to most of the products and some supplies I used. Some of the embellishments are from past design team projects and may not be available, but I did put a generic link so that you may get something similar from the store. 

Thanks again for watching and for your support!

Tag Accordion Recipe Album Tutorial

 Do you want to see a fun, easy and quick project??  Then check out this video!

I made the original album with press-board tags from the Dollar Store.  I recreated it with chipboard for the tutorial.  It is really easy and I have 24 recipe cards in it!  

I used scraps from the Country Craft Creations virtual retreat to make the first one, and scraps from a 2020 Craftology kit for the second.  All information is in the video.  Please come and check it out!

Thanks for stopping by, and Stay Merry, My Friends!!!

Hearth and Home Kitchen Center Altered Box Project

 

This is a quick walk through-talk through video that I did as a part of the Country Craft Creations design team.  I love this paper collection!!  Hearth and Home is by Simple Stories, and is available at Country Craft Creations.

I had these wooden boxes in my craft room and the inspiration struck me.  I think the colors are fantastic and they match my kitchen PERFECTLY!

I hope you like the video and it gives you inspiration!  Have a great day, and stay crafty!

Cookies, Cakes and Pie, OH MY!

Good morning!

I have been so busy in my craft room!  I am working on two projects right now for the Country Craft Creations Design Team and there is a flurry of activity in my craft room.  I will be able to show you those projects real soon, but in the meantime I wanted to share this lovely album.  

 This is a wonderful tutorial done by Tamra of Country Craft Creations, and it is her "Spring Farmhouse Tutorial".  You can find this album here.  This is the link to part 2.   I love it and plan on making more with this style. It is super cute and fun to create.

I used Authentique's "Infused" paper pad.  I found it at Tuesday Morning, and it is still in the done I frequent.

Head on over to my YouTube and check out my slideshow showing all of the goodies this album has!  Then check out Tamra's tutorial and make one for yourself!!

Have a Crafty Day!

Tutorial available for my "Page configurations"!

Page configurations?  You may be wondering what that is.  I did another take on my "Tall Skinny Mini Album" and my "Short Chunky Mini Album" to create yet another mini where pages range from 4 1/4" to 7 1/2" wide and are 7 1/2" tall.  My tutorial shows 20 different pages to make, just using one 12x12" piece of card stock, a scoreboard, scissors and some adhesive.

The cover to this album is 8x8", and the spine is 3" wide.

Here is a link to the slideshow I made to show the pages of a finished album using my "Page Configurations".

Here is a picture of the album itself...

Here is a link to the tutorial on YouTube.  This is the first tutorial, the next one will show exactly how I attached the 20 pages together to make the 5 "Page Sets" used in the album. The "page sets" provide a variety of pockets, flips and flaps that will make this the most interactive album ever!  I will post that link when I am able to get it done.

Happy Crafting, my Friends!

This is what happens when I say, "Oh! I've got an idea!"

I was at Jo Ann Fabrics, looking in the dollar bins, and found these cute pink potholders and thought they were screaming to be altered, so I took them home.

I measured the inside dimensions (inside the bias tape) and cut a square of chipboard.  Then I rounded the corners using the potholder as a guide (the potholders weren't even so each corner was  a little different.)

I covered the chipboard with pretty paper...

I adhered it onto what will be the inside of my book, and punched binding holes with my Crop-A-Dile.  I used a little fray-check on the holes on the potholder side, then I set eyelets.  Hopefully it won't fray!

 I cut pages to put inside my book.  I used Nana's Kitchen from DCWV.  I am thinking pictures will go on these pages.

I used my Cricut to cut out potholder shapes from the "From My Kitchen" cartridge, but I didn't want the cardstock hanger, so I substituted ribbon instead.  I have a  giant jar with scraps, and picked colors to match the colors in this book.  I stamped lines using a 7 Gypsies stamp set called "Journal."  I am going to put recipes on these pages.

I embellished the rings with ribbons of multiple varieties from my ribbon jar.  I used the postcard image from Heartwarming Vintage.  I made the ribbon flower, and just added a variety of flowers and pearles and such.

I had some old stickers that were similar colors, so I used those up as well on the pages.

This will make a great recipe book for my favorite diet crushing goodies!
