BRRR! Its so cold here in New Hampshire. The snow is falling, and I am already awaiting Spring!
I am getting ready to work out, then record my Monday with Mytime video!! I’m excited to get going, and take all the advice, and put it into fruition! Thank you for all the advice, and excitement. You all made me feel OK and comfortable doing this, and sharing myself-so THANK YOU.
Jackie’s Cooking Recipe Wrap Up
Today’s project is another Christmas gift I made for Amber’s other teacher. You may remember I did one similar-for a Cookie Swap—–>HERE!
I made so many awesome gifts that were personalized this year using my JustRite Stampers. I’m actually shocked that my small letters aren’t worn out! LOL! I actually did invest in another set because sometimes I use a lot of a particular letter, and have lost a few because I’m too lazy to get on my floor and LOOK for them! LOL! They are cheap enough! You can never have too many letters-right?
Keep watching because I do have a NEW! JustRite Stampers product release to share (I was fortunate that they sent it to me and asked me play, and share an opinion! It was perfect for this project!And what was NOT to like?!)
Now this is a gift was made using one of my FREE! My Timeless Templates © the Recipe Wrap Up!
In the “original” design of the template, the idea was to create 6 fold out pockets, with Recipe cards. Well, if you are tight on time, have many gifts to mass produce, you may want to use only HALF the template!
This project only used 1/2 of the recipe wrap template!
So, untie it…………
Isn’t it the perfect size for a project?!
You don’t really need more than the 2 pockets for a simple, and thoughtful gift.
You may only use half the template, but it is just as nice of a gift idea.
I used white, Lemon Tart ,Summer Sunrise, and Spring Moss cardstock. My Ribbon is stitched Summer Sunrise stitched grosgrain. My pretty paper is by Imaginesce. Last Springs line :C I hoard, sorry! What can I say?!
Close up of the clip-to hold notes, recipes, coupons…..whatever!
I think having the clip is a great feature. I got my large Paperclips in the office section of Walmart for uunder $2 of a large container! They are FABULOUS.
I just used a Martha Stewart flower punch, to match the flowers on my paper. The “leaves” are my bridal confetti flowers, in olive. Love those things. You get a paincan FULL at Michaels for under $5-in the bridal section. (Sorry I get hundreds of emails asking about this everytime I post). The flower centers are dew drop like pieces also found at M’s like a year ago.
Now moving on to my pockets-instead of the printable pocket template (I was tight on TIME), I used little envelopes that came with some LOVE NOTES, I purchases from Stampin Up! like 3 years ago. They are meant to hold 3X3 notecards. Well, I cut down the top to 2 1/2 and they are PERFECT for my recipe cards.
Here is the close up of From the Kitchen of Jackie pocket tag-
This is where the NEW! product comes in!! Notice: I have upper AND lowercase letters?!
How awesome! They are FINALLY adding a lower case set to the New Times Roman font! HAPPY DANCE!!
Doesn’t it look so much better with the mix of upper and lower letters! I mean it was great before, but not its even better!
I just popped in my border, then spelled out her name. Easy Peasy!
Now make sure you check out—-> their blog <—-because they have been sharing what new products they are releasing! I may be in trouble. Looks like they are revealing 25 new items at CHA!
If you are going to CHA you will see a few of my creations in their booth! I was asked to send some along, since they enjoyed some of my posts shared 😀
2 projects you haven’t seen, and I didn’t get GREAT photos before I sent them :C
From my friends kitchen tag close up
Now the “From the Kitchen” border is from—> THIS set. I get a lot of use from that one too. I LOVE circles, so that adds to my love for those borders.
Now to go with the gift-I purchased a Tastes of Home (my absolute FAVORITE place to get recipes from! We have had our very best meals from this site! All of it is very easy too!!) slow cooker recipe book.
I decided to make a special magazine tube to present it to her, wither her Recipe Wrap Up! © gift.
Isn’t that just a fun way to present a magazine/book? Just untie the ends and slide out.
Here is the set, presented together
It’s just so cute!
It was well received too.
So that is it for today. I hope you liked today’s feature. I’m off to get going on my video.
Wish me luck 😀

(((HUGS))) and have a wonderful Sunday!
Lauren this is just so pretty. I just love the spring colors. I know this put a smile on the teachers face.
VERY cute! Love the colors — I’ll have to see if I bought that paper last year — I’m a hoarder, too!
Thanks for continuing to show us ways to use your past templates — it really proves just how versatile they are.
AND I’m looking forward to your next video — it should be great!

Love it, I am a hoarder, to. You would not believe the stuff I hoard. Finally figured out how to watch your video on line Love it I have my house cut out but not decorated, I was watching medium on lifetime and it was very late and I had to get up and go to work. I don’t have all the papertreyink stamps yet but what you used is on my list to buy. I love all your cards and projects. Can not wait to see your viedo tomorrow. Will post my house on my splitcoast I am under susandenise. Susan
Love your post today, as always! I check your blog every day but so rarely post a reply but want you to know you are such an inspiration! I am so addicted–can’t imagine the day without checking what you’re doing! Your video was great and the little house just adorable–just so clever. I do have a question though. Have you had any problems with the Martha Stewart punches? I bought the branch punch and yesterday got the lace doily border one. Neither one will punch thru PTI cardstock. I also tried some Stampin’ Up paper I had and that doesn’t work either. They work okay on much thinner paper but, of course, I don’t use those for cards. I love the punches but hate to invest in them if they don’t work for me. Any suggestions?
Looking forward to your next video…keep up all the fabulous work…..
Such a cute idea…so bright and cheery too! Love the colors
GREAT gift set Lauren! I’m sooooooooo loving YELLOW lately! This is perfect! I have some of this paper too…think I’ll pull it out this week!
I was actually going to use this template for a friend at work who just found out she’s going to be a Grandma. I’m sure she wants to plan a baby shower…wonder how I could tie that together with this?! I’ll think of something! Thanks for always inspiring me! Can’t wait to see your video!
Hi Lauren,
I am from Perth in Western Australia and I have been following your blog for quite some time now. Just wanted to say I thought your tutorial was fantatstic. It was really cool to hear your voice (that sounds a touch stalkerish- sorry!). When I read your blog you have an Australian accent so it was kinda cool to hear your thoughts in your true accent!!!! I think it would be awesome if you could do a short video on your crafting space so we get an idea of were you work your magic. Keep blogging!!
Thanks, Nicki.
Wonderful project, as always, Laurie! And keep up the good work with the videos. You’ll iron out the glitches in no time flat.
Hey, in response to your previous blog entry about Bethany, please pass along to her mother this blog: http://sheyerosemeyerphotography.com/blog/
Sheye is also from Australia and lost her little girl to a terrible accident (links to the memorial website and story are on the blog). Very touching. I can’t imagine living through something like that, and I don’t suppose those ladies thought they could either. What a thing. But maybe they can find comfort in each other.
Thanks,
Lisa

Very Cute set Lauren. I love the colors. I also love that this 1/2 size doesn’t look scrawny (what a word choice) or rather doesn’t look like it only took a short time to make! I really love it! Will link you when I get mine done….Thanks for all the inspiration.
