Hi! Welcome to the July 2018 Simple Recipe. Remember they'll be a new one after every first Saturday of the month throughout the rest of the year.
As with previous incarnations of Simple Recipes you're given a list of 'ingredients' to base your layout around. All you need to do is create your layout using all the ingredients given. How you do that is up to you but I will include a step by step with a finished layout so if you want to completely copy the sample layout you can do but if you'd rather do your own thing you can do that too as the Recipes are designed to be starting points to kick start your creating. As requested for this year I'll also include a layout video so you can watch a bit of how the sample layout was made. I'll try and include handy things to use like tips and techniques as we go along too.
Have fun with the recipe! Once you've finished your layout upload it to the gallery here or on your blog/ whereever you upload your finished projects too and pop a link up in the comments. If you add your layouts to Instagram tag them with @craftytemplates and it'll send them to me so I can find you that way![]()
If you collect points for yourself or your team completing Simple Recipes is worth 30 points.

OK onto the new recipe! Since we're all sweltering in the heat I thought it'd be fun to think cool thoughts and scrap some wintry photos this month! I've also included a string art idea to include on a page. I've made a star but you could also use a different shape, it's all about using a simple outline and filling in the centre with the string so anything you can think of with a strong outline will work, heart, triangle etc. whatever your shape add your pierced holes at regular intervals around it and you'll be away.
