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 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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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!!!
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.....
