Grandma's Pantry and the Comforts of Home Layout

There is nothing more special to me than spending time in the kitchen with my family.  Nowadays with our busy lives that can be a real challenge.  Those special times are the inspiration for this layout.  I also had a wonderful grandma that could always be found in the kitchen baking something yummy.  She is the inspiration for my pantry.  Since there are no pantries on any Cricut cartridges I designed my own in Design Studio.  Gotta love DS!  To catch all the details in this layout, you have to stop and look. : )  I will try and point some of them out for you.  Click on pictures to enlarge.

You can purchase this cut file and a complete tutorial with all the information on some of the extra details on the left side of my blog.  The cut file also includes a bonus page on another version of the pantry and I give you many ideas and inspiration on what else you can do with it.  So many possibilities.


Overall view of both pages

Something in the oven
Notice the realistic look of the flour and the sparkle of the sugar

    
Every pantry needs cute little drawers and a homemade pot holder

Notice the shine on the cups to make them look like china

Setting the table with more "fine china".
I like how the ribbon accents on the oven mitts turned out
Notice the pot ring in the handle of the pot
I tried to give my turquoise "wall" the look of bead-board by adding subtle detail lines to it
