Jambalaya and BBQ Sauce Disney Recipes

This is a kit that comes from a company www.itsscrapbooktime.com. These recipe pages  can be ordered on line and they will be shipped to you. This kit is from their July 2014 group. Finished page is 8" x 8".  This is a perfect recipe because of my recent trip to New Orleans: Blue Bayou Jambalaya.  I will definitely have to try this one. As in most of the kits, everything is cut out, ready to assemble...........so easy and so satisfying to complete a page in a snap. There are 1/8" gold strips on this page with the festive decorative pattern paper used. 
Some Clear Wink of Stella added to the red hat band, his vest and ball on the stick.  Looks cool.
The second recipe is Mickey's BBQ Sauce. This recipe celebrates the July 4th season with appropriate decorative paper. Silver strips 1/8" wide flank the page and add sparkle.
Some stitching is added to the oven mitt as well as on the apron.
Thank you for stopping by to visit today.............stay tuned for more Disney inspirational pages........

Retro Pay Phone Treat Box

Can you believe this is made completely out of paper?  Well, it is.  The inspiration and instructions for this project can be found at my favorite SVG site SVGcuts.com here. It is made by one of their designers: Chantel Schroeder. Complete specific details and many SVG collections were used to make this project. This finished project measures 14-1/2" tall with a 5-1/2" base, 7-1/2" wide to include the handset on the side.  The paper is from Color Box Shiny Black (which is quite sturdy and thick - perfect for this project). Metallic Silver card stock is from Recollections. The handset is using mat black card stock from Recollections , then trimmed with the Color Box Shiny Black
On the top of the phone are the coin slots.  I actually re-created this part of the phone since this project was already getting pretty large.  This is now 1-1/2" high (instead of 3" high).  The monetary slots are computer generated, printed on white card stock.  In order to make the "cents"........type in a "c", the use a pen the make that vertical line..........easy! The original insntructions have this as another box.  This one is non-functional - just decorative.
The dial is made by layering the cut circles.  The individual numbers with the alphabets are computer generated on white card stock, then punched out. Add an adhesive Black Rhinestone in the center OR the person's phone number.
Side view showing the handset and phone holder.  The phone hook is made 3-1/2" long (a "U") which is shorter than the original instructions -  to me, it looks good this way. And, the coil is made using 1/4" black grosgrain ribbon, wrapping it around a 3/4" wooden dowel, baked in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes - perfect coils!!!!
 Here's the bottom section: This base was reduced to 2-1/2" high.
 The lid is removable:
Revealing a bag full of treat crackers inside this treat tower. The treat tower was also shortened one inch from the original instructions.:
The bottom has a pull out opening that contains chocolates (in fact, it took two full bags to fill this treat area).   Bottom of the opening needed to be re-enforced with a strip of card stock on the outside and well as the inside to avoid tearing with the continued opening and closing.

UPDATE: link to the Waterfall Folio You Tube Video tutorial is here.

Have you seen the You Tube video for this Waterfall Folio created by Ginger who has a blog www.mysistersscrapper.com. You will find this and many other versions of this waterfall folio. Her video is easy to follow so I really recommend you get on over there. Measurements and all other details are on her video so I will not duplicate this info here (she does a better job). For my folio, I chose to use the Graphic 45 Bird Song papers.The chipboard folio cover is using the Enlightenment paper. 
A Chipboard mat from Graphic 45 Bird Song collection is attached on top of the Tranquility scene from the Graphic 45 Bird Song 8x8 assorted paper pack.
A chipboard tag is attached to the front bottom (and top right) frame with a glittered brad and foam squares.
Overhead view:
Folio open: Enlightment used for the inside folio.  Black card stock used as the base for the waterfall.  Alternating Graphic 45 Bird Song Enlightenment and Cherry Blossoms used for the mats.
Inside pocket has a Graphic 45 Bird Song chipboard tag with a metallic brad.
This are the items in the pocket: three tags and a booklet.
Tags are  made from the 12x12 Graphic 45 Bird Song Tranquility paper, mat in Black card stock. Crop-o-dile Scallop Corner Chomper used for the corners.  We R Memory Keepers keyhole punch used to thread the crumpled black rayon seam binding.
Here's the folio: Black card stock is used for the base. Graphic 45 Bird Song Cherry Blossom mat, then the scene from the 8x8 assorted paper pack: Jasmine Dream. Inside is using the Cherry Blossom mat. Use a 1/4" corner rounder on the corners.

Grahic 45 Heritage Mini Books with Drawer

Something for me!!!! YAY, I finally got around to finishing this cute little box which will hold some precious photos and details about my family when they first got here from China.  It took me a while to figure out what papers to use but I am always steered toward the Graphic 45 Bird Song papers, especially for this project. The case is 4-3/4" x 4-1/2" x 6" (including feet). The Mini Album Display Case is manufactured by Gina's Designs and can be purchased here.  Graphic 45 Bird Song papers used: 12x12 Jasmine Dream, 12x12 Good Fortune, 8x8 Tranquility, 8x8 Joy Luck
LOVE the pull out drawer to hold some family treasures. Drawer is 4-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" and don't you love the paper used inside the drawer, too?
2-3/4" Resin Ornament and metal coin on top of the box is from my stash. Fabric-tac is used to attach these embellishments
Details on the trinkets used for the book spine:
Blue Moon Trinket Shoppe BM20131 Metal Asian Charm
Blue Moon Orient Express BM19717 Charm Metal Lantern
Rayon cord used to attach the charms
A  7 Gypsies Pewter Book Knob Red - use some Ranger alcohol ink to make it gold color.
Each pull out book measures 4-1/4" x 3-1/2" x 1-1/8" with five (5) pages to adhere photos and journaling.
When the book is opened, it will reveal who this book is about. In this book, my Dad's 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" photo here when he was young.
Turning the page reveals an even younger 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" photo of him with the facing page 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" showing the computer details. Edges of the facing page are lightly inked in Brown for that aged look.  The rest of the pages have photos of my Dad as he has grown through the years with some information details to pass onto the next generation.
As a final finish, wooden feet from your local hardware store. Paint them black with acrylic paint.
I love how this project turned out. It will be kept for many years and displayed along with some of my few treasured photos I have.
