Digi of the Week-Fred She Said-Emma In Strawberry Patch

Be sure to check out the "Digi of the Week" over at the Fred She Said Store. This week was my week to pick the digital image set that will be on sale. I picked Emma In Strawberry Patch. This has been a project that I have thought about for a year and I finally decided to go for it!

So to start with the cover. The charm was made with a Tim Holtz Fragment that I mounted a picture of Emma onto. The Fragment was then mounted on a swivel hook and attached to the ring on this round chipboard album. The green glitter die cut is a Sizzx Flourishes. The "Strawberries" title was cut with Swirls and Curls die set from cuttlebug.

The next page has a pocket that includes a tag, a recipe for Strawberry Chiffon Pie and two recipes cards I made using the Emma with Strawberries image. (A first for me-and way out of my comfort zone. Necessity breeds innovation!) The yellow tag opens to a recipe for Strawberry cake with Cream Cheese frosting. These two pages are for photos and journeling. The Strawberry blossoms were made with the new Spellbinders Rose Creations Shapabilities and the centers are a tiny sunburst punch. All strawberries are covered with crystal effects. All edges of the album have been distress inked with Rangers Worn Lipstick and Diamond stickles was applied over that.

In the first pocket of this section is a recipe for strawberry jam and another recipe in the little card that opens with Emma on the front for Strawberry Muffins. There are also two recipe cards tucked in the back. The bottom pocket has a frame, tag, and recipe for Strawberry Ice Cream.

The top pocket is a velum envelope that I made to hold tags that you can tie onto your jars of strawberry jam. There are six. My recipe makes six jars. The last page holds another Emma tag and an awesome recipe for Summer Salad with Strawberries.

Did I tell you that I love strawberries. I have included all my favorite recipes in this with places to add more Strawberry recipes as I find and try them. Please be sure to watch my video to see the recipe cards and tags up closer and the interactive portions of this fun album. I hope you have gained some inspiration to make a chipboard album. I have been inspired by so many talented ladies that I finally made one. Be sure to stay tuned for my next one. I have been gathering my supplies for it.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Let me know if you have any questions, and I will try to help!

Oh my goodness, Carol....what a fabulous creation. I enjoyed your video so much. I used to make my own recipe cards but since I started card making, that is no more. I would love to make one of these albums. I did a recipe scrapbook for my dil and it took about 4 months.
Your album is so full of delightful surprises. Those recipes sound yummy.
