It's time for Challenge #11 with the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Blog that I am so lucky to be a part of.
This week at Whimsical Wednesday's we are having a color challenge and have a photo for inspiration. We all had to use the colors Yellow and Red and then we could chose another color/colors from the photo on our card/project.
That makes my heart feel super happy.
Check out the inspiration photo...
So for my design team project I decided to make a recipe book.
The pages are all decorated just waiting for my grandma to hand-write her favorite recipes & for me to insert photos of those that I conjure up along with photos of grandma. I cannot wait to fill it up.
My grandma is in her 80's so I may not get too many recipes in there but we will see. She is a great sport & quite a sweetie. I have not told her of my idea yet so I will just have to give you a status report when I chat with her.
I used white paper so the colors could pop like in the inspiration photo but they aren't coming across as well as they do live.
I used Tim Holtz-Peeled Paint distress ink to ink all the edges of the pages in the inspiration photo green & there are touches of the red & yellow on almost every page, although the yellow is reading like an orange because it is a checkerboard orange & yellow mix. Sorry about that bloggers.
So without further ado...here's my project for this week's Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Blog:
Now click on my title bar above & it will take you right over to the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Blog where you can see the challenge information, view design team member sneak peeks & see the prize or prizes up for grabs. The sponsor/sponsors of the prizes are usually listed as well. We have terrific sponsors who are quite generous!
Can't wait to see what you come up with for this utterly fantastic color challenge.

WOW! This is just AMAZING! I love the shape of the cover and all the details on each page! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSonia, This just blows my mind. I love that you are doing this. This will be such a blessing in your life and for your children too. I have a few recipes hand written by my grandmother. My mother has for years written down recipes for my sister and I to have. She is 84 years old and going strong. And still writing recipes for us. I should one day compile them into a book.
ReplyDeleteYour design of the book is great and all of the many detailed elements are just amazing. I love it. After you have the recipes in the book with the photos, post it again.

What a beautiful project and idea Charlotte. I love all the details in each page. The little ice cream is adorable. I love the way you punched the edge of each page and then added lace at the bottom of each page. Great job with incorporating the colors from the photo. You grandma is going to love this and what is wonderful is that it can be passed down. Wonderful job Sonia.

ReplyDeleteSonia,
ReplyDeleteWhere do I begin with this...LOVE it! All the details are just SPECTACULAR! I love how you did it in white too! The colors POP from the inspirational picture.

You and your Grandma will cherish this forever! Great job.. as always!
