Cooking With Crafty Secrets!

Hello again! I'm here as a guest designer for Crafty Secrets. Sandy so generously gave me the new digital sets Retro Kitchen and Kitchen Memories for being the guest for their November Linky party. If you've never worked with digital images, you must give it a try! I'm still very new at it but am finding that there is so much freedom in using digital images. You can use and resize the images over and over again. You'll never run out of product!! Just look at those vibrant colors of these awesome images!
With that said, here's my creation using those two sets.

I created a "New Cook" set that would be perfect to give as a bridal shower gift or to someone who is just moving out on their own. It's a folder that includes, shopping lists, recipe cards and cooking notes that will help them get started on their cooking adventures.

Everything I used was printed from these kits, including the background papers. I did go through my CS Image Journals and found a few other shopping lists and notes that I tucked in to the pockets. What's not to love about a kit that has everything!

Here's the folder with the coordinating card. The vintage measuring spoons in the first photo were added after I started my photo shoot. The folder was lacking texture and dimension and the measuring spoons were just what it needed.

When I gift this, I'll be adding a nice mixing bowl, some wooden spoons and spatulas, a cook book and some other baking and cooking gadgets.

Thanks so much for looking and thanks especially to Sandy and the design team for letting me join in on the fun this month! Blessings~ Birgit
