Look what they made: Another fabulous recipe book.....

As you know I`m looking for creative inspiration for my recipe books....here is another fabulous one I loved.....this one is by Linda Duke....she says.." My altered project took me two days to make, but worth every minute....... I made my flowers by cutting thin chipboard, then patterned card stock with Spellbinders Wizard, and glued them together.....with a pen, I doodled around the edges....although all of the pages look different, they were all made the same way, with the same products...... I just changed the colors and images on each page......the chipboard was painted with acrylic pant, then covered with Glossy Accents, and sprinkled with glitter.......

Trouvais also introduces us to the beautiful and interesting post of Habitually Chic. While in Paris, Habitually Chic had a rare treat. After stopping by the Pierre Frey showroom on the Rue du Mail, they walked over to the headquarters to see their archives. They were surprised to learn that the Pierre Frey archive doesn't just contain Pierre Frey fabrics, but fabrics that they have collected from all periods and styles so that they have a reference when creating new fabrics and collections........
