December 2010 Recipe Card Challenge

[Maurine Stettler]

Here are the instructions for this month's recipe card challenge/exchange:

1. Click HERE for this month's starter kit; it will be free to those who participated in the prior month's challenge. Please use this kit (or papers/elements you design in the same color palette) so the cards will "coordinate" and to ensure we don't violate other designers' TOU.

2. The general theme for this month's cards is HOLIDAY TREATS. Think candies, cookies, caramel corn, popcorn balls, rice krispie treats, peanut brittle, gingerbread, fudge, etc. If you consider the recipe a "treat", then go for it! I'd love to see some cards that include "recipes in a jar" ~ for hot cocoa mix, cookies, or other ideas you have. Be creative and have fun! If you need different tags for your card(s), send me an e-mail and I'll make them for you.

3. Design your recipe card(s) however you'd like. Include your name, forum name, e-mail address ~ whatever you want ~ on the card.

4. Create your original card at 6" wide X 4" tall (1800 and 1200 pixels) and save it as a 300 ppi jpeg, quality of 10. These are the print-quality cards that will be shared with all participants. You will also need to resize your card at 72 ppi to post in the gallery.

WHEN FINISHED with your card(s), do the following 3 things:

1. E-mail your print-quality, 300 ppi recipe card to LetMeScrapbook@hotmail.com so it can be included in the download file at the end of the month. Several participants have asked for blank copies of the cards you design, so if you're willing to send me both (with and without the words), that would be great! As a bonus in December, you'll get 5 store points for your blank card(s).

2. Upload a picture of your 72 ppi card to the Recipe Card Challenge Gallery. You only need to upload your actual recipe card ~ not the blank cards.

3. Post a link here in this forum thread no later than December 31 so you'll be eligible for your store points.

At the end of the month, all participants will receive your points and a link to download all the cards created that month. Bon appétit!!

Reminder about POINTS EARNED for completing this challenge:
• You'll earn 10 points for the first recipe card and 5 points for each additional card.
• If you complete all theStudio challenges this month, you'll earn a 100 point BONUS.
• 100 points = $1 to the store.
• Points may be redeemed at any time. PM Toiny or any Admin at the Studio.

I'm looking forward to another great recipe challenge. Love seeing all the goodies that everyone posts here... eventually I will have to print them all off and organize them into a file box!

Hope everyone has a great December.

I got home from work last night and turned on my computer so I could gather everyone's e-mail addresses and get the coupon codes out -- and my computer wouldn't boot up! It took several tries, and the computer trying to fix itself, before I was able to log on. So I spent the next few hours backing up a lot of work and CU purchases I couldn't afford to lose. Yikes!!

Anyway, my plan is -- computer willing -- to get the coupon code out tonight when I get home from work. Hang in there with me -- can't wait to see your recipe cards using this fun kit!

[jimmyrose]

I put in some gift in a jar recipes and the instructions for using them. I have used each one of them and have given them as gifts to. Thanks for the great kit. Blank cards will be sent too.

I used the provided kit for all of the cards. Thanks Maurine, I really enjoy this challenge. I don't have time to do the other challenges this month, but I would not miss this one. Looking forward to getting all of the cards. Thanks again.

Hi guys - thought I'd join in the fun... Here's mine. I absolutely love this toffee recipe. I make it for all our friends for Christmas and they usually come back with the empty container the next day asking for more!

Oh Maurine, you poor thing...during the summer I had some work done on my computer and the "jerk" erased everything. I was devastated. Thank goodness, all of the good people I had bought digi materials from were so nice to reload my purchases, when I explained the circumstances, so I could get them back even though it took me weeks to get everything and reload my computer. I went the next day and bought another EHD. Think that makes #4 now. One scare was enough for me. LOL

[Maurine Stettler]

It's a good reminder to back up more often! Geez!! Crossing my fingers that it was a minor blip and everything is fine!! : )
