Happy Birthday to The Scrappy Gourmet! We are continuing to celebrate our first year of business by tempting you with a new altered album kit called "GIFTS". This project is an 8x8 Zutter chipboard album filled with 34 pages and is a wonderful place to express what's most meaningful in your life. Using ingredients from Basic Grey's Scarlet Letter collection mixed together with other beautiful products, you get more than 27 patterned papers, tag sheet, chipboard letters with Scarlet's Letter monograms, large script letter stickers, 2 different Daisy D's large rub-ons, Creative Imaginations transparency and quote stickers, more than 6 yards of ribbon, 30 buttons, bling, journaling cards, 9 sheets of cardstock, beads and so much more to complete this entire album. Plus, most of the pages come precut and punched, so you don't need to have a Zutter Bind-It-All Machine. You can just pinch the binding wire closed when you are finished. Take a look at all of the pages found in the Secret Recipes Section of our gallery.

And don't forget that Jessica Kelly's Featured Entree Layout and Altered Album kits have been extremely popular and are still available for purchase!

Continue our celebration by visiting our Chef's BLOGs. (Follow the links on our homepage.) Each of our designers has posted a design challenge of their choice. Complete the challenge and post your completed projects to our gallery in the spot for the specific Chef's Blog. You will be entered to win one of the Scrumptious kits they have designed for TSG!! (You may enter for one or all of the designers challenges.)
