Scones & Tea

Hello my "Shabby" friends....

Today at the "Tearoom" Rebecca is our hostess and she has chosen the

photo below for inspiration and asked us to do a project with the

"Pleasures of Reading"

I am not much of a TV watcher, but I do LOVE to read.

I recently finished a series of 16 books by Robyn Carr...

Yes, I love to read fiction, and if they are a good writer you can certainly

learn a lot....

But, I have to admit this challenge had me stumped as what to create!

I thought of "back to school", but I have been doing those projects

and really wasn't ready to create another..lol..

Then it hit me!! 

A recipe book (sort of)...I also LOVE recipe books and have lots of them....

I have a nice Marianne Die that just so happens to be a "book".....

Being our sponsor this week is the lovely "Paper Sweeties"....

I went with an open book of Tea and Scones recipe book!!

Perfect for the addition of the "Sweet Cuts-Tea For Two Bundle"

I used all Melissa Frances papers and love how soft and pretty my card is.

I printed a Scone Recipe  in word, then  lined up my die to cut it out.

The edge of my book, I rubbed Viva Inca Gold on.

I also made 2 of the bigger Roses, which you can't see well in the picture

and speaking of my pictures, it was a gloomy, dark picture taking day......

Visit "The Shabby Tea Room" and see all the other beautiful projects the

"Shabby Girls" have for you...join in the challenge with us!!

I have 2 other DT posts today...sometimes it just works that way!

Take a peek....
