I modified it slightly by adding some stiff interfacing so that it would keep its shape and changed the colours of the cross stitch part in order to make it work with the fabrics I used, it was very quick to do and I think it turned out rather well, what do you think?

Here’s the link if you want to make your own.

What I got was a whole warmed through Camembert still in it’s wooden case and piled on top was lovely bright red cranberry sauce, next to it was thick slices of panini bread lightly toasted with a little bit of rocket salad and all this was presented on a wooden board rustic style, it looked gorgeous! Ever since that day I have been trying to recreate this mouth watering lunch I had and I think I may have got it!

How lovely does that look? Mmmmm, if you want to make it yourself here’s what I did:

Ingredients:

225g of frozen cranberrys
200g of Caster sugar
100ml of Water
Whole Camembert in a wooden case not a card one
Couple of freshly baked Panini’s

1: Put the water and the caster sugar in a saucepan and bring just to the boil, making sure the sugar has all dissolved.

2: Turn the heat down a little and add the Cranberry’s, it should take between 5 and 10 mins for the cranberry’s to get hot enough that they will burst when you push them onto the side of the saucepan with a wooden spoon. Burst all or some of the Cranberry’s, depending on how you like your sauce.

3: Take off the heat and leave to cool for a minute or two so the sauce will thicken a bit.

4: Sieve the cranberry’s so that you get most of the liquid out and then leave to one side to cool down a bit more.

5: Put the Camembert on the grill medium heat for about 15-20 mins or until when you touch the top it wobbles a bit.

6: Slice the Panini breads into long strips and a couple of mins before the Camambert is ready pop them under the grill to lightly toast on both sides.

7: Place you whole Camembert on the plate, pile the cranberry sauce onto the Camembert and place the slices of Panini bread on the side.

Et Viola, hope you like it!

Let me know if you make it too, I’d love to see how it tuned out.

While trying to come up with a more suitable solution I remembered one of my favourite inspirational blogs, Paper in Bloom by the lovely Carly Robertson, has an awesome video on how she organises her stamps among other things. From watching her video I now have perfectly organised stamps in a proper lever arch file, I highly recommend watching all of her videos on organising your craft supplies.

In fact I highly recommend her blog for all of her wonderful card designs and am very jealous of her lovely craft room!
