Fall Recipe

It's blog party day again over at Waltzingmouse stamps and this months theme is "fall" or "autumn" for folks over here in the UK.  http://waltzingmouse.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/waltzingmouse-stamps-september-blog.html



I decided not to make a card this month - a friend asked for a recipe for a cake I'd made which features apples and pears so I thought a jazzed up recipe card would fit the theme perfectly.  I printed the recipe onto kraft cardstock to give it a base colour with an autumnal theme and then decorated it with leaves from Big Bloom Chrysanthemums, an apple from Teeny Trees and a title from Back in the Saddle.  Much better than a scribbled on a post-it note which is how I usually hand over recipes!

Time to surf around the rest of the party participants - thanks for stopping by.
