Week Eight - Cheese Platter

Welcome...
To week 8 of our 2020 competition.... and our last challenge for this year's competition! 

If you have missed any challenges you have till 26th June to upload them into the correct album.

A cheese course can be as simple as one great cheese for guests to nibble on at their leisure after dinner, or it can be a carefully considered platter of selected cheeses, fruits & nuts.  Different parts of the world serve cheese platters at different times during the meal.  In Europe, it's served before the dessert.
Generally, we here in Australia serve it after dinner, when guests just want to sit back and enjoy a conversation and time spent with friends and/or family

Week Six - Main

Welcome to Week Six

Week 6 - Main course - Duck a l'orange

The Main course is usually a larger serving and doesn’t just do justice to the flavours of the proteins used, but takes it up a notch!  Served with a sauce or jus and seasonal vegetables.

Check out our menu below and have fun!

And here is Gypsy's example to help inspire you:

 

 It's a joke in my house if you ask my husband what he might want for dinner he'll say: Duck a l'orange and a Bombe Alaska- pretty sure he's never had either. :-) But when I drew the main course for the competition I knew this is what I had to 'make'.

I love the way this dish has been plated up in the image above I have kept the central column design and the use of white space for my LO- but you can go your own way just using the requirements for the challenge... and no you don't need ducks... I almost felt a little guilty pairing these photos with this challenge. Happy Scrapping and Bon Appetite!

Week Two - Soup

Welcome to Week Two

Week 2 - Soup course - Carrot & Fetta.

A classic idea is to relate your soup course to the season. It's always smart to avoid soups that are too hearty so guests don’t fill up for the rest of the meal.

Check out our menu below and have fun!

And here is Gypsy's example to help inspire you:

I cropped the middle circle out of this CV Legendary paper to make my soup bowl- I love this combination of Indigo and Orange. The Orange (Peach) and White are Kaisermists one painted on and one flicked.

When my Dad was leaving when I was a kid we had this thing:
Him: See you later Aligator.
Me: In a while Crocodile. Don't forget your toilet paper.
Him: Spot ya' in the Soup! We'll have a pea together.

I have to admit when I started the page I had no idea what I was going to journal about but had that saying stuck in my head and so wanted to find a way to bring it into a story about my son Will in the picture. I'm really happy with the solution.

Remember you don't have to scrapbook about soup or food at all- just try and meet the challenge requirements in your own style.

Supplies used: Cocoa Vanilla Legendary paper- Explorer, plus Ephemera and flair. Bazzill Cardstock- French Vanilla. Kaisermist Peach and white. Gauze, and light modelling paste. Thickers Foam Alphas. Green Tara Leaves: Light Green 2.5cm and Green 3.5cm. Uni-ball Signo White Pen.
