Recipe Book Gift Idea

Hello friends... happy Thursday, YAY!  It is almost weekend again.  Whilst chatting to my friend last night, I was telling her about this gift I had made for my other friend Deidré for Christmas and she said that I need to post a pic on my blog...  so here it is... a very simple gift idea for you to make for someone who loves baking, cooking, etc.

• All I did was purchase a red spiral-bound book and covered it with red and white checked paper which was downloaded from the internet.
• For the blackboard, I covered a frame with brown paper and placed a piece of black cardstock behind it for the actual "board". I wrote on it with a white gel pen.
• From the Magnolia Yummy for your Tummy range, I coloured the lovely Edwin and Tilda with my Copics and using sticky foam tape mounted them onto the blackboard.  The other little pics I cut out from wrapping paper, matted onto a thicker board and using same foam sticky tape, mounted them all over the book.
• I then took one of those plastic white spoons you get when you buy yoghurt and coloured that in red with my Copic pen
• A bow, "hand made" charm and computer generated sentiment was added for completion

That's it!  A simple, yet very effective gift idea.  Deidré loved it!   Hope you like this one... I'd be interested to read your comments... take care, hugs Sharon
