Let's BBQ (and a recipe!)
I'm all about quick gifts...they're a must-have,
especially because I wait until the last minute
OR simply forget until it's too late!
For my Top Dog Dies project today, I have an
easy gift idea for the grillin' or BBQ lover
(another cool idea for Father's Day too!)
I've paired up the Apron Card Die with the new "Adventure Collection" by
Authentique Paper.
The 6X6 "Adventure" Paper Pad is really nice to have on hand when it comes
to cutting with the Apron Finishers Dies.
I also used the banner die from the Mason Jar Finisher Die Set
Above is a look at the card without the recipe tucked inside.
To your bottle of BBQ sauce, add a typed out or handwritten recipe to
the inside of the pocket. I found this one on the Sweet Baby Ray's website:
BABY RAY BITES
Ingredients
1 bottle of Original Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
1 lb. of bacon slices (cut each slice in half)
1 can of chunk pineapple (drain juice completely)
1 box of wooden tooth picks
Directions
Wrap a piece of bacon around a pineapple chunk and secure it with a
1 bottle of Original Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
1 lb. of bacon slices (cut each slice in half)
1 can of chunk pineapple (drain juice completely)
1 box of wooden tooth picks
Directions
Wrap a piece of bacon around a pineapple chunk and secure it with a
wooden toothpick. Place each appetizer in a shallow baking dish.
Brush each appetizer with SBR BBQ sauce. (Be generous!)
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until bacon is cooked completely.
Serve in baking dish if you wish. Serve warm, not hot.

Pair up the sauce with a nice set of grilling utensils, an apron or
add a gift card to their favorite outdoor's man shopping place!

Homespun Collection
Mason Jar Die
mini album

Homespun Fun
Happy Saturday to you!
Today I have two projects from the Homespun Collection by
SIMPLES TORIES
www.simplestories.com
This is one of my very favorites of the new releases...
It reminds me so much of the handmade quilts and dolls that my grandmother used
to make using calico prints, ginghams and plaids. And the colors are
so vibrant and cheerful...it's hard not to smile as you thumb through
the papers and sweet embellishments!
First up is a mason jar mini album that I put together. You can find the steel rule die on-line OR
you can order the chipboard pre-cut, along with a template for tracing onto your patterned paper.
The new embellishment packs called Bits & Pieces come in handy for projects such as this.
I like to add a square of foam adhesive to the back and then pop into a corner of a photo mat
...that's all you need!
I either cut out a 3X4 swatch from one of the 12X12 papers or used one of the SN@P Cards
as the mat or journaling area for each page. In keeping with the homespun feel, I machine-stitched
a zig-zag pattern around the edge.
Brads and buttons give that extra dimension and provide stability to the edges of stickers that
may pop up after years of wear. Because of this, I do like to hand-stitch my buttons on before
attaching the finished page to the chipboard page.
The above pages are two examples of how I let the adorable artwork do the designing for me!
Just fluff them up with a ribbon bow or other fun embellies.
Here are two pages featuring the doily motifs found in Homespun.
Accessorize with doily-shaped die-cuts or pre-made doilies. After going back and looking
at the completed album, I also had a thought that some cross-stitching would look
so cute as an accent with this collection!

When I spotted the cute apron motif, I knew that I had to pair it with the apron card die that
I have on hand, which is perfect for invitations, money or recipe holders. If you don't have
access to a die such as this, you can find a template for the shape on-line
(just search 'apron card' template).
After die-cutting the teal dot paper into the apron card shape, I topped it with the apron card
found on the 3X4 Journaling Card Elements. I cut the journal card down to size and then
corner-rounded the top edges before applying pom pom trim to the back edge.
Inside the pocket, I tucked in a cookie recipe and then attached it to the front of
a mason jar filled with cookie mix. I also think it would make a wonderful
embellishment for the front of a recipe book!
