Lisa's Holiday Homecoming

Merry Christmas Funkie Junkie fans! Lisa Hoel here. Our theme is "Holiday Homecoming" - celebrating the holidays with family and food. Our family has several favorite recipes for this time of year so I decided do create a photo recipe album.

For the album structure I used Eileen Hull's Field Notes & Specimen Card Die. It has such a great shape. I used it this past fall to make another flip photo album and you can check that one out here.

Inside I filled it with photos from past family festivities and pull out recipe cards tucked into pockets.

Going to a Christmas tree farm the day after Thanksgiving to pick out our tree was a long-standing family tradition. Of course there was always a grand tailgate picnic!

Gingerbread cut out cookies are non-negotiable at Christmas-time!

When we moved to Idaho we had the chance to have white Christmases!

These Molasses - Spice cookies are a big family favorite around here. Yum!

There isn't really a tutorial for this but I took a few in progress pictures:

I cut all the pages first and lightly inked them up by smooshing them into Distress Mica Sprays sprized onto my craft mat.


I had lots of fun creating the cute Santa from the Santa Greetings, Colorize Die Set.


I used the pocket from Eileen Hull's Card Case Die to make the holders for the recipe cards. They fit perfectly!
