Disney Recipe SWAP

[AlexWyattMommy]

Really girl, are you trying to make the rest of us look like slackers?

 

[MazdaUK]

I cut my papers and printed the recipes and took them on vacation with me Then when I got home my embellishments had arrived so I just had to finish them off. Conveyor belt method works for me

I just hope you all like them!

 

[ddavis860]

Wow, I'm still at the planning stage...

(show-off just kidding)

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay, question. Because I don't want to disappoint anyone.

These are recipes from Disney. Do you want the card to be completely Disneyifed, themed to the restaurant, or themed to the food?

 

[MickeyP]

I chose Tie-Dyed Cheesecake, from POP, so I'm doing a 60's theme.
I also chose Tonga Toast, from The Poly, so for that I'm doing a Hawaiian theme.
For my appetizer from The Sci-Fi, I'm doing a sci-fi theme.

 

[MickeyP]

Sorry I didn't answer your question. What's the difference between Disneyfied and themed to the restaurant?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Will there be any characters on your pages?

 

[MickeyP]

I probably won't, but you can. I would if it was Crystal Palace or Chef Mickey's.

 

[MickeyP]

I would for Park Fare.
Hey Mazda, what did you do?

PS: There are 50% off coupons in Michael's and AC Moore's ad today.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Well, the Park Fare recipe I'm thinking Cinderella, but for the Boatwright's I was stuck. I think I will just Disneyfy it. I'm not about to try to make a boat carcasse for the page.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Also 40% coupons for Hobby Lobby.

I'm doing something from Bomas so I found some paper with colors that seemed to fit but I hadn't thought about adding animals for AKL...hmmm...what to do?

 

[YodasMom]

I'm theming mine to the restaurant and to the foods I chose. In the case of resort restaurants, I am also theming them to the resort motif, such as Wilderness Lodge theming, etc.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I knew I should have picked a different resort , but I just love sweet potatoes. So hopefully no one will mind too terribly if the theme doesn't exactly match. I know the restaurant is in POR, but I do have some awesome french flavor paper from SU. Could we pretend it is the French Quarter?

 

[MazdaUK]

I've used some paper with Mickey silhouettes for most of them (I didn't have quite enough so in some cases I used different papers in the same general colour scheme). For the Rose & Crown I used clip art of....a rose and crown (der!) on the recipe and embellished with London stickers (and some have other British stuff like telephone boxes). For the Liberty Tree tavern I went sort of autumnal - red, yellow and green papers with leaf cutouts (TREE - geddit?), but because its also a character dining place I also added a tag with a CM Mickey punch. For both I've used some bits of paper with checks on as I think it looks sort of homey and kitcheny.

I've also used fibres and brads for the first time But my gluestick wasn't the best, so I got very sticky fingers but had to restick the trailing ends to the backs of the recipes this morning. I didn't like to use sellotape as it doesn't age well (or didn't used to). What glue do you use? I didn't use my CM adhesives as being double-sided I thought they might attract dust, although I suppose I could have used single pieces of tape runner.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I tend to use tape, but on the back of what every item I am using if I can't use a brad to hold it place.

For Boatwrights you could do a ships wheel instead of a boat or use the idea of the ocean- both would stay in the theme of the restraunt. I am not worried about everything matching the restraunt myself. I will not be looking at mine until after March 3rd when I am finished with throwing the high tea and I have finished the hard week of state tests and my mother leaves- why does everything happen at the same time?

Deb, just wondering.....Have you tried this recipe and is it hard? It is sooooo good that I wondered if it would really turn out the way Palo makes it if I tried it. That should be a fun recipe card to make!!!

Nope, I didn't try it yet, just was so happy to find it! I was going to try it for Valentime's day, but we got iced in...

Sorry I didn't answer before, I just saw the question

 

[ddavis860]

I'm doing characters for Chef Mickey, Ocean and maybe Nemo for Coral Reef, Chinese theme for Nine Dragons, and el-e-gant for Palo. I got my papers today...Joann's has 5 for $1, AC Moore had a sale too... I was in happy scrappy dreamland...

DH today said "you must spend £300 a month on scrapping" - just because I happened to spend some birthday money! (Actually, not a bad guess ) Of course I insisted it was only about £30 - that reminds me, I've got some paper to order.....
