Scrappin' Chics Challenge - May Project #2

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome to the May Scrappin' Chics Challenge!

Each of the designers will be creating and sharing 3 projects for each month's challenge. Click here if you'd like to see my first project.

The challenge for May is to create a project with a "Kitchen" theme (expect you can't use the 'apron' cut from the "From My Kitchen" cartridge). You have until the 27th of the month (at noon) to link up your project at the Scrappin' Chics Challenge blog here.

There are lots of fun sponsors who have donated the prizes for each month. All the details can be found on the Scrappin' Chics blog.

For my second project, I altered a plain recipe box that I bought at Michael's. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the plain box.) It's pretty sturdy and has a hindged lid.

I chose to use the colors yellow and green to match my everyday kitchen decor.




Details:
Covered the base and lid with cardstock from the DCWV "Lemon Flower" stack
Cut 'Recipes' at 2" using "From My Kitchen" cartridge. (The green cardstock on the bottom layer is also from the same DCWV stack.)
Added stickles to the lettering and inked all the edges
Cut the 'Lime' at 2 1/4" using "Preserves" cartridge and adhered with foam squares.
Cardstock is from Core'dinations (plain and shimmer). Inked all the layers and adhered with foam squares.
Added ribbon around the bottom edge of the base and the lid.

Be sure to check out all the Designers' projects for some inspiration. And we'll be back on the 22nd with the last project (inspiration) for the month.

I hope you get a chance to play along with the Scrappin' Chics!

Thanks for stopping by!
