Another chevron zig zag box- Sunset Palette

This pattern uses a palette from one of the sunset photos that I posted recently. I also shifted the colors a bit to create 2 more color choices for this chevron themed box.

Zig Zag Recipe cards and a few other things

Hi Everyone!

In the last few days a lot of people using Blogger have noticed that they are using a new code for images. This code was implemented without a good way to turn it off and causes images to show up in something called Lightbox. I used the code snippet from HERE to revert DETP. The people at Blogger do realize that a lot of their users really dislike the new feature, and hopefully will offer an easy way to opt out soon. 

Recipe Cards! 

The last couple of days, I've been playing with some PDF recipe cards. I'm still not completely happy with the results, but this is what I have so far. You should be able to type recipes directly into them using Acrobat Reader, and save the PDF to your hard drive with your recipes filled in and print them out. These are 4x6 inch cards formatted for US letter size paper or card stock.

Zig Zag Recipe Cards

This was my first version. I accidentally missed putting in some of the cutting guide lines. This is filled out using a couple of my grandmother's recipes. One for bourbon balls, the other for pecan balls.

Another chevron zig zag box

It's been an amazing week. More on that in a minute. First the box!

This box was based off a palette created from a photo I took today just for the colors. I picked the colors manually and loaded the palette on ColourLovers, along with a palette that I generated using their software from the second photo.

So my amazing week started normally enough. Books, beads and crafts. Not sure when I realized it was a very good week. It just kept building up steam. All sorts of things lining up well and working out well. Today was just the icing on the cake. Michael isn't normally a very spontaneous person. He tries though because he knows that I am and today he decided it was time to go to Thunderbird Falls, and I'll be posting photos of that later. That was *after* he dropped Turnip Girl and I at Salvation Army while he got a hair cut. Then after the hiking, we hit my favorite coffee roastery for a few lbs of my favorite coffee. If you like dark roasts, you might want to try the Arctic Wolf.  It's a deep, rich, fruity roast. Dark and oily and my favorite coffee. If you prefer lighter roasts, the Pioneer blend is one of my dad's favorites. One of my plans soon is to make an appointment with Ron to work on a special Don't Eat the Paste coffee.
