Kaisercraft Bon Appetit Recipe Book

Kaisercraft Bon Appetite Recipe Book by Alicia McNamara

Over on the Kaisercraft Blog today there is a post featuring the new Recipe Card product. I decided to make a little Recipe Book so I put together this little Mini Album.

This would make a lovely gift to a friend who loves being in the kitchen, or to someone just moving out of home needing a few recipes to get them started.

Smash Book Recipe - Slice

Hello! Today I would like to share another recipe for my Smash Book.

Elizabeth told me about this Recipe challenge over at Lasting Memories where you follow the following sketch and I really wanted to try it out.

I tried my best, but had difficulty following the sketch exactly. This is what I came up with:

You are probably thinking this looks nothing like the sketch! I think that too...but maybe it is more "inspired" by the sketch!! Anyway the recipe is a really good one. I make it all the time and everyone loves it. So if you want a quick, easy, pretty healthy chocolate slice give it a go!

I also have a "pretty in pink" Anya Princess card to share today for our

Mad for Markers New Colour Combination Challenge.

Carol, a good blogging friend of mine has a limited amount of Copics. She sent me a list of what she has got in her collection and I coloured my Princess Anya stamp only using the Copic colours she owns.

The colours are:

Hair: E37, E33, Y17, Y11 and Y02

Skin: E11, E21

Pinks: R46, RV34, RV23

Do you have a smallish Copic collection and want some help putting them together on an image? Why not email or leave a comment and I will see if I can colour something for you.

For this card I used papers from the Be Mine paper pad that is in my Valentine's candy. I bought two pads at the time, one for me and one for the lucky winner! The papers are delicious! I have my sewing machine out again now and I am a bit fed up with the white stitching not really showing up on the cards so I have gone for dramatic black!

I would like to enter this card in two challenges:

Anyone for Anya - Bling it On

I have used a sparkly ribbon buckle, some large rhinestones and glitter on the image

and

Farm Fresh Challenge - Use a doily and/or lace

I have used a heart-shaped doily.

Sammi has an awesome collection of the Anya stamps in her store here.

They start at $8 each, which is so affordable. If you are after some new stamps to motivate your colouring head on over to Sammi and she can definitely help you out.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!

Smash Book Recipes

Hi Blogging Beauties,

Have you heard about Smash Bookin'??

Smash Bookin is kind of like scrap booking but it can be messy and quick...it doesnt have to be a perfect page...hence no pressure for each page to be a masterpiece. This suits me.

There is a free group organised by Suzanne Dean here. It is full of monthly challenges, conversations and inspiration. I have decided to make my Smash book into a Recipe Book. I dont have the proper "Smash Book" I am just using an old photo album and collecting my favourite tried and true recipes and dinner ideas. I just wanted a place to have all my favourite recipes in one place. I have done four pages so far.

The top recipe is a delicious and rich slice. Still three pieces left in the fridge...if you like chocolate and turkish delight give this one a try!

Second one is a vegetarian curry. Delicious, but I recommend cutting the curry back a lot as it was way too hot for Ben and I.

Third one is a quick and easy, yummy meal. Could be a salad at a shared dinner or lunch...but we had it as an evening meal on its own.

Last one is a quick and easy chicken recipe.

My Recipe Smash Book idea doesn't really fit into this month's challenge, but I am just linking it up here to share what I have done with the group.
