Oh my goodness you guys, we have a great line-up of two spectacular projects for you to peek at today!! The timing of both projects couldn't of been better because with the weekend upon us, we always want to leave you with something that will knock your socks off and these two projects deliver like no tomorrow!! One found it's way to us from Scrapbook.com - it's of a gorgeous, multi-page recipe album from Scrapbook.com's founder, Jill Davis. The other is from our famous DYI crafter, Lolly Chessie - wouldn't you know it, Lolly's created a village for you to visit and the best part is, the houses are cuter than ever!! Come take a look..chances are, you won't want to leave!!
Besides wanting to know what sort of recipes Jill has hidden away in this precious album, we still can't get over the fact that she's used our Restoration chipboard shapes & cardstock stickers as page tabs in the album. What a fantastic idea!! We would of never thought of these items as "page tabs" per say, so when we saw them, we knew this album would be a major hit with our blog readers! Even the little labels that Jill added to the tabs are insatiably cute. Besides the tabs, we're huge fans of the album's overall concept - Restoration and recipes is obviously a perfect pair! The two seem to work really well together, amazingly! We're betten' this album is entirely at home in Jill's kitchen..thank- you Jill for allowing us to post this - Visit Scrapbook.com for more info about the project!
Are you ready to move in? We've already begun packing our bags!! These houses are so very sweet and cozy, don't you think?! And of course, we're guessing (now this is just a guess..wait, we just did our homework and they're actually a Sizzix die-cut!) that they're made entirely from scratch. Imagine that, sitting down and making tiny houses out of paper..aren't they quite something?! Lolly, these would be a great addition to your CP holiday tree collection..maybe a Christmas village from Snow Day? Possibly with glitter and cute puffs of snow...we love these houses.
So, what do you think? Don't you just love Fridays?! Two great projects, two talented artists and enough inspiration to keep you going all weekend long! With that said, we have a big event planned for you next week!! We're hosting our first official blog hop of the season - CP's Autumn Blog Hop!! We'd love for you to join us! We'll be serving a host of technique ideas via the Crate Paper design team to help you start thinking about things your most thankful for this time of year and also, we're giving away a very special prize..one that every scrapbooker will want!! You'll definitely want to add this blog hop to your calendar CP Fans! It's going to be a ton of fun for everyone!
Have a great weekend you guys!! See you next week...
I can always count on your blog to provide tons of inspiration! Just wish I had more hours in the day to play with Crate Paper! Very excited about next week's blog hop!

Love the ideas in the recipe book! I want to make a special. family cookbook and this style is right up my ally!

Love the recipe album. I am curious as to what size the album is and where did she find page protectors for it.
Posted by: LeAnn | November 17, 2014 at 04:47 PM
LeAnn, I don't know what size the cookbook is, but I will be making mine three ring binder size. You can find the page protectors at Wal-Mart with the office/school supplies. I imagine any office supply would have them also.
I've been using binders and page protectors for years, but this is a whole new level I can't wait to try!
