Last week I shared with you my card for the January Recipe at Crafty Chefs and now it's my turn to create the recipe for February. I know it's not February yet but consider this a gift in case you want to join us at Crafty Chefs. It's open to any who care to join (free) and there's never a deadline for completing any project. You're free to use and share any of the monthly recipes whenever you like. We are just a group of crafters who are trying to get out of our own personal comfort zones now and again and try some things we may not have done before by following someone else's recipe. Also fun is finding a recipe which exactly fits your own style or the things in your craft stash and whipping up something to share with the rest of us for inspiration.
Since I just did a recipe in December, some of the other gals who play over there gave me some help on the recipe for February. Appreciation to Margaret for suggesting "Stamp - rubber or digi," "Pink & Purple," plus "pattern dp." Karen, our Master Chef from January, gave me "Fun Fold" (the previous chef always gives the next chef one MUST DO item.) So, here's the February recipe:
MUST DO: Image + Purple/Pink combo + Pattern paper + Fun Fold
CAN DO: Embossing Folder OR Doily OR Flowers
I'm still following the "challenge-yourself" idea being promoted by my blogging buddy, V. It's called "Just Stash January" and it involves using nothing but things already in your stash throughout the entire month of January! There are a few reasonable exceptions (all of which mean that no money has come out of your pocket) and you can read about those on her post. Just click on the link above to find out all about it, then start counting those coins and bills you'll be 'stashing' in your pocket this month instead of crying about even more charges on the credit cards after the holiday season.
Come visit us at Crafty Chefs. Join us if you'd like. You can even sign up be a Master Chef and pick a month this year to create the recipe for all of us to follow. Check out all the recipes in the respective monthly albums and try a few. It's fun! Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
