Octopus Love Scrap page

My Octopus Love scrap page, the edge of my fabric from Tula Pinks' Salt Water in the Coral colorway had part of the octopus cut off, so I couldn't use it for my quilt but I thought I could put it on a scrap book page along with a picture of an octopus grilling at a Taverna in Santorini.

Inside is a surprise pull out
For a recipe of my favorite way to cook octopus -  Octapodi Kokkinisto that you can find here. 

It is tied to another piece of Salt Water fabric and connected to a vellum tag sticker that I stamped on.  I also did a few heart stamps on the recipe card itself that is from the Minds Eye paper collection along with the 12x12 cardstock used for the background.

I totally got my inspiration for this pull out from several of the DT's on CCW, thank you so much for making my pages look more interesting, I love the inspiration and creativity I find there.

It was my first time using my sewing machine on paper, I hope I didn't mess up my needle, since I just used my regular sewing needle.
Every Day is a Special Day, is so true and I love the paper I used for the inside.
Every day is special and Every day I cook.

    I just LOVE your page Mara! What a great idea to attach your pull out tag to the page with ribbon :) Your sewing is lovely too.
    Just a wee tip about your needle - whenever you replace your needle for a new sewing project, always save your old one for sewing on paper. As soon as you sew on paper it blunts the needle so using an old one won't matter (if that makes sense!) Thank you for sharing your page with us at Creative Craft World :) Sarah xx
