Recipe Swap Pages Received!

I thought it looked awesome! And I liked that you even had the right font!Where did you get it? I'll add your info to the back so that I can remember down the road who the artist was that created it!

I noticed that they didn't all have names and in future swaps I'll encourage everyone to sign theirs. I just didn't have time to write the names on them like I've done in the past.

I know the Forgotten Cookies were done by my friend Marley Watters, who has aways wanted to join a swap. Coca Cola Cake is Jacqui and Banana Tart was done by Judy.

Lynne

I haven't scanned them yet. If you have the capability you can, but I'd be glad to do it. I think we could put them up any time, but any one in the swap be warned it will spoil your surprise if you go look before you get your swap. :)

Lynne

BTW I'm proud to announce there were no flakers in this swap. Well done ladies!

Lynne

I got mine too! Ladies...thank you...they are wonderful! Lynne, I think you fuzzy bunny was made by Sabrina. Sandy, I just love your LO, which font did you use in the title? M-C, your cookie embellishments are too cute! Lynne, the yeast package shakers made me laugh. I heard them first, but NEVER would have thought to make into an embellishment. Very clever!!

I've been oogling over the LOs for 30 minutes...now I need to go drool over the recipes! LOL.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Amy L.

OK, I'll scan them in the next couple of days and put them up. I'll let everyone know when they are up!

Love the recipe Jacqui!! I was just going to ask who did that and the forgotten cookies? I guess you forgot. LOL

Judy, loved the banana tart LO. They are all so neat!! Kenda, your page is just beautiful (my kind of page,I love lacy and Victorian stuff) And M-C I had to seach real hard to find your name but I do love that cookie recipe. Neat embellishments!

Lynne I do love the yeast shakers,too. That is a fuzzy monkey! LOL I write my name on the fronts of my pages because I want to see who did them when I make them from my recipe album. I leave them in the page protector and just take them out of my ring binder to use. I have so many new ones to try now! Thanks everybody! Barb,love the"sticky" blobs on your page!! too cute! I want to make the bread ,too..love the neat paper!

Thanks Sabrina! I sat there for a day and made all the little cOOkies and the big one at the bottom with acid free non bake clay! It was fun!

I told y'all that Kenda's page was real pretty! In fact I'm astounded at all the pages and the talent!

M-C

Lynne I've got to add that I thought that was the best bread I'd seen in a very long time! And those yeast packets. Did you make those?

M-C

Yes, I made the yeast packets. I originally was going to put one on the page. Then I noticed I had these tiny beads that reminded me of how yeast looked and sounded when in the packets. 3 packets is how it's sold here so decided to go with three. Rather than make a traditional see through shaker I thought I'd make them look and sound as much like the real thing. Decided to sew them closed to give them a little homey feel.

The bread title started out as chalked paper when I saw I had some textured paper that looked very much like bread colors. So, I made a pattern and started cutting. Then I realized I needed steam coming off the loaves to complete my vision. :) (damn those visions sometimes haha) I got some wire and started twisting and snipping.

I did 2 new techniques on this page... sewing and using wire. I've played with wire, but I don't think any of my creations have actually made it to a page.

The bread paper showed up at a huge LSS sale. I was digging through tons of paper when I came across 14 sheets of the bread paper. Perfect!

Lynne

I can't wait to see these pages posted on the RCS website - you guys make them sound so neat!

M-C, you MADE those cookie embellishments with non bake clay!!! Wow! I just assumed they were a Jolee package or something. VERY NICE work!

-- Amy L.

Thanks Amy!

Thanks Sabrina *blush* I had a look on the website, and really everyone's pages looks wonderful. I feel mine are way to plain, but it's my first try, so it will hopefully improve.

Judy, SA

Your page is beautiful! Goes to show what creative minds you all have. I went completely brain dead when I couldn't find anything related to bread for my potato bread page. The bread that's on the pages I made are two actually loaves of the potato bread that I took a picture of. After that I went brain dead. LOL Do you think I could find anything related to potatoes or bread in any LSS's?? No! All I could come up with was to cut the recipe out to look like a slice of bread. How sad is that? LOL
