Jelly Recipe Page

Spoonflower is getting ready to have their annual free swatch day on August 18th. Every year, they do this to help raise money for Heifer.org, they will mail you a swatch of fabric, but if you'd like to make a donation, the money goes the charity. 

The swatch I'm getting this year is this design, and after I get the swatch and approve it, the fabric will be for sale at Spoonflower.

Since I decided I really liked the layout, I made a printable recipe page using it. I hope you enjoy this.

Click on the image for the larger version. The dots are spaced approximately 1/3 of an inch apart for the lines. 

Lots more printable jelly things and recipes pages on Don't Eat the Paste.

Citrus gift boxes- 3 sizes!

I just finished the listing for these box templates at my Etsy store and made up these.

I made all 3 sizes in all 3 fruits. 100 ppi, but the templates in my Etsy shop are 300 ppi, and 3.75 for all 3 templates.

As you can tell from the photo, I need to refill my ink cartridges! If your cartridges are fuller than mine, they will print out better. :) Click on the images for the full sized versions. Also, if you liked my watermelon box, take a look at my entry in the current Spoonflower contest. The theme was surrealistic fruit. I made a watery watermelon!
