November 2011 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 your favorite THANKSGIVING recipes ~ the post below this one includes more information. Be creative and have fun with your cards! If you need different metal tags and don't have them from previous kits, 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 ~ 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 between 8 to 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!

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

3. Post a link here in this forum thread no later than November 30.

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

Hi, everyone. The color palette for November's starter kit is similar to this month's "mega" kit at theStudio -- a combination I probably wouldn't have come up with myself, but one that I really like!

In October, we focused on pies. For November, our challenge will be to create recipe cards to help celebrate Thanksgiving or other "feasts." Think turkey, potatoes, main or side dishes, salads, rolls, etc. Feel free to include a pie recipe if you missed last month or came up with another that you want to share. Your cards can include recipes to serve the day of or delicious ways to use up the leftovers (thanks for that idea, momsmarts).

I look forward to another month of delicious ideas! : )

Awesome - somebody just asked for a recipe and now I can make it look really cool. Can't wait to play.

I love it too!

Here's my recipe for this month:



Thanksgiving is celebrated differently over here, but I hope these pancakes will fit the theme - and they're really good.
