This month I created a receipe book with Pink Reptile Designs' products

Each week I write the menu for the week : lunch and dinner.
This menu helps me to do the grocery because I know exaclty what I need to buy. And It helps me each evening : I win many time. I no longer need to come up with meal ideas that same evening since everything is noted in my menu.


I'm trying to cook season vegetables, and something I have no idea of receipe ...
I decided to write season by season the list of receipe/meals that usually I cook. For example, in spring, we eat pastas with asparagus.

I bought a blank notebook that I decorated with the designs of Pink reptile designs.
I created clusters with photoshop and I printed them :



I printed labels from "Labels and Tags|elements"

I cut each decoration in form of book mark :



Products used : Bakers gonna bake|elements, bakers gonna bake|papers, bakers gonna bake|WA, homegrown|elements, houseblend|elements, farmfresh|elements, farmfresh|papers,


I cut label from "Labels and Tags|elements", and I glued it on my first notebook page. On the label, I glued the bookmark decoration :


I did this for each bookmark decoration :








My notebook is finish, I have all my dividers : one for Spring receipe, Summer, Automn, Winter, no season meals, and desserts

OMG Géraldine this is AWESOME! Super cool to make one for yourself but also a GREAT gift!

hi, will get pretty pages done today - this month has been a bit of a mess - geoff has been home all month (between contracts - we are driving each other crazy... ) so haven't been on computer much

Hi everyone,
The months are flying by now, I am just starting to realise how close Christmas is and mild panic is setting in!
Luckily it has been a busy month in Digi Scrapping world – so many beautiful ne wpages to be inspired by – love getting to choose a few to highlight, esp with the gorgeous new BYOC kit Younicorn by Mirjam that seems to have been in constant use this month. Still deciding if I love this more than No Probllama from last moth but just cannot split the two!

Ok, onto the fun stuff – my fav pages from this October –
First up  we have @vwsandy – how soft and cute is this page? The black and white photo with the rainboots a lovely colourful splash – a photo made for unicorn elements! The cluster is just perfect!



Next we have an entry for this month’s stitches challenge (l love stitching on a page - the more the better!) by @KarenC . The Grid pattern allows for carefully placed photos with a balance of paper pieces and elements. Notice how Karen mixes and matches elements from so many different kits - a girl after my own heart there! So beautifully done for a clean and fresh page.



Lastly, a page from @scrappin2girls that leapt out form the gallery at me. I am always drwn to a black and white page with a pop of colour and this ticks all the boxes. Gorgeous photo, notice the black and white paper under the photo that is off centre. This draws the eye towards the cetre without having the hypnotic effect that it would have had if it was centrally placed under the photo. Little details like that make a huge difference to the pleasing aspect of a page.



Ok, that’s it for this month. Have a lovely month, don’t forget to play along with our latest challenge and leave some love in the gallery – hugs xx
