Amazing Race Final Clue/Project #7

This is the clue we found at the Rusty Pickle site yesterday for our final clue:

Clue took the creative racers over to www.scrapbookdoodle.com where they have threaded and weaved all sorts of beautiful things. The gallery is filled with heaps of inspiration from the racers so please do head over and take a look. So here we are at the last leg of the race. I am sure that the AMAZING RACERS are eagar to get underway with their last assigment. So with out a do it real is time to give you that clue.
Each one of you are in Rusty Pickle heaven so it's time to give you clue number 7...


Get on outback, cause it's time to scrap near the small windmill by the old tin shed. SO search up high or search down under, spread your wings and begin to wonder. The dream is there amongst the swirls, just waiting to be found by some eager girls. SO get on outback where the skies are blue, cause that is where you'll find the clue.
Enjoy the last leg of the race everyone!

The clue was to go to:

Amazing Race Project #6-Completion!!

This is project #6 out of 7..so one left to complete before the race is over.
This assignment was a fabric bound recipe book.
I decided since it was a small book(4x6), but not in the number of pages, I would create a book of "Dips, Drinks, N Desserts".
This was a fun project for me for a few reasons...#1. I love to cook, 2. I love to scrap, and last but not least, 3. I love the RP Paper.
So how could I not have fun with this one.

The paper line for this book is Rusty Pickle "French Market".
I love the colors, actually, purple is my least favorite color, however, I like it with the other colors in this paper.
Each recipe is removable, so when it's time to prepare the recipe, you just have to pull the recipe out of the pocket and use that in the kitchen, not have the entire book in the kitchen.
Other than that, all product used on this book is Rusty Pickle...the paper, the file folder book pages, the chipboard, the stickers, the cut-out coupons, the fabric binding..with the exception of the cardstock which is Bazzil.
Here are the pictures...there are two pictures, for the pages that have a recipe on them, so you could see the recipe itself and that it is removable.
Enjoy!!!
This is the front cover..

Dips...
This recipe is "Confetti Dip" from my friend Kathy...very yummy!! Thanks Kathy!!


This recipe is for "BLT Dip"..I got it from Samantha's Gma in Wisconsin when she was a little girl. It's very special to us.


Drinks...







Desserts...








That's my recipe book..I have way more recipes than that, but I like this little book, it only holds a few.
Hope you are following the race, we are just about to get our last clue/assignment. Then we will know who makes the Design Team.
There are so many great designers on this team. Anyone of them could handle it.

If you stopped by for a peek, leave a comment so I know you were here.
Come and see what the next clue is very soon.

Til next Time with T!!!

Amazing Race-Clue/Assignment #6

I just realized that I didn't post Clue/Assignment #6...guess I got caught up with the 4th right after we finished with #5...here it is:
This is the clue we got from Rusty Pickle blog:
We are sure that this challenge sent the racers hearts all a flutter when they headed over to www.amillionmemories.com following the last clue. The amazing racers were asked to create an album with our new heart and wing album. Check out the gallery at AMM to see their fab albums!
Now we don't want you to get in a fix ... it's time to post clue number 6
I watch the world pass me by
A pen in my hand to doodle as I lie
It wiggles and squiggles, never a line
Flowers and stars designed in a Scrapbook and Doodle time.

Be Creative!
So that clue took us to:
On the forum we found our next assignment...
Welcome Rusty Pickle Amazing Race Finalists!
Scrapbook Doodle will have the 6th leg of the Race (of 7 legs total) … starting at noon, July 4th and ending at noon, July 7th (Mountain Standard Time)Your Assignment is…
“Create a fabric bound Recipe Album with the Tab Album and the French Market line.
Please be sure to post a link in this thread to your gallery post.”
So there you have it...our 2nd to last assignment.
This is been so much fun I hate to say that...well maybe, just maybe, it won't be my last assignment from RP.
I love you Rusty Pickle!!! No matter what the final outcome is.
So keep following the race, and check in at the sites where we have been and are headed to...it's great fun to view everyone's designs.
Please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by.
Next time, maybe I'll serve you some snacks. lol!!
Til next Time with T!!

Amazing Race Project 5-Completion

This is assignment #5 for the Amazing Race.
We our clue was to go to www.amillionmemories.com.
The instructions we found there were to create a mini-album using the heart/wings chipboard book and the Pirate Princess paper line.
I love this paper...it is so easy to create with, and the book is simply wonderful.
The pictures of my version of this book are below....
I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed creating it!!!!

This is the cover of the book.
I used Rusty Pickle Pirate Princess patterned paper,coupons, stickers and chipboard pieces. There is a web effect on the pink paper on the heart of every page...that is called Webbing Spray by Krylon. I love it, I have it in black and white. Also on the sword, I used Making Memories "steel" paint, once dry, I then followed up with Making Memories glitter glaze in silver.
Glossy Accents and Sugar Coating glitter, on center of sword, and pirate doo rag.

1st and 2nd page.















There you have it. The book is a little deceiving, it took a lot longer than expected. I did enjoy creating it.

Next stop...clue #6.
Keep following the race...we're almost to the end..don't stop now!!!

Til next Time with T!!!!

Scrap Tiffany Designer!!!

I'm so proud!! My Sis has made the Design Team for ScrapTiffany!!
She so deserves it, she is the one that got me started with this crazy, fun craft.

She is a so good at what she does.
She is very quick to inspire and help others, including me over the years.
Doesn't matter if they are new to it, or more experienced, she takes some of her time to help.
She has had me and other family members or friends over to "host" scrap parties and ALWAYS makes everyone welcome in her home, complete with snacks, cold drinks, hot chocolate with marshmallows and whip cream and/or coffee, always cute coffee mugs that spark relaxation and inspire instant creativity.

Depending if its an all day event or not, sometimes she even puts food in the crock for dinner so we do not have to "stop" scrapping to fix lunch or dinner. She always tells anyone of us, "use whatever I have in my stash. I don't think there is anything in her scrap room that she hasn't or wouldn't give to someone who is there and can't get to the store, like her cute antique red lamp, right sis..jk.
Even those that have laughed at us over our passion, she even helped them make their invitations or whatever other paper item they needed or wanted.
Anyway, she is given so much to this craft thru other people, her time or her stuff that it is time she "gets" back.
So I am so happy and proud of her for this accomplishment.
I am so glad that others will benefit from all her beautiful work.
You will enjoy looking at her designs, I promise.

Today, Scrap Tiffany posted her Sis's bio on her blog.

Check it out here:

Way to go sis!!!
Very proud of you!!!
And I miss our scrap nights and days. You always make it fun and relaxing!!
