Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s January 2018 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing the all of the new Dies. If you’ve arrived here from the talented Galina Filippenko blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!
Take a look at my Scrapbook Layout:
Back in December, I went to a Whole Food for lunch during a workshop I participated in Brooklyn. It was the closest place to eat so why not. I first stopped at the salad bar but thought it was to cold outside to eat salad. I notice they had a soup bar so I shared out a bowl of chicken noodle soup. I wan’t happy about it but there wasn’t anything I could do until I saw the Pop-Up Ramon Bar.
Right away I thought yes, this is going to be so good. I looked at the price and saw that the veggie soup was $8. Great, I can swing that. I asked for extra bean spouts and onions. The chief fixed me a nice soup. He handed me the soup and I walked to the counter.
The lady said $33.96, I almost went to the bathroom on myself. WHAT did you say? $33.96 for a soup? I played it cool and pulled out my credit card and paid for this meal that should’ve cost me no more then $10.
Despite the huge price tag, this meal was good. LOL!!!
For this layout, I’m using the new Simple Alpha Die!! The shape of these letters are perfect for scrapbooking. They create an amazing title which is what I created above.
Here’s how I created this Scrapbook Layout:
I used Altenew’s Mini Blossom Die and a piece of scrapbook paper from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection to cut out all of the letters for the title.
I used my We R Memory Keepers Typewriter to type the smaller title.
I secured each letter to the base page with foam tape so that they are raised higher then the photos.
Super easy and fun!!

Girl, $34 for soup?!? Definitely worth scrapping!
WOW! A fabulous layout to document quite the hefty price for a bowl of soup! Your showcase of the Alpha dies!

what a colorful layout – love it:)
OMG – over $30 for RAMEN??? RAMEN – the fallback food from my cheap student eats days??? Whole foods should hang their collective heads! A fun way to remember the moment though!
That’s a colorful and pretty layout 🙂 Thanks for sharing your inspirations with us 🙂
What a layout to with that incredible experience!
Beautiful Layout…Definitely food cost a lot…
Aren’t you just crazy for that alphabet? Love it and how you used watercolor on the letters!
Cute and fun layout!
I love this release
Nice job use of dies and color and of displaying your point! Perhaps you should bro back to the store and post your card on the board for all to be aware of their practices?! Just a thought… This is a wonderful product release for sure! Diana O
Very creative layout! I would have said no, thank you, to the soup. That’s outrageous!
Oh wow! Wow! Wow! I love my Fantasy Floral layering die so much and these new dies are amazing. Wonderful release and beautiful inspiration!
WOW! I think I would have asked if there was gold in the soup at that price! It does make for a unique and pretty layout though! LOL
This month’s release is quite awesome and I absolutely love it all! TFS!
Great release! Wonderful layout! Terribly expensive soup!
$30+ for a bowl of soup? Wha??? LOL! Love the layout, though! Great idea to document the outrageous price.
Such inspiration projects and ideas. Thank you for the inspiration!

Just after I bought the lowercase letters… argh..
OMG, can’t believe you actually paid that! I’ll have to see if
it’s just as expensive here in So. FL. Your layout is fun!
Love the rainbow of colors.
what a fun layout, Kymona – mighty expensive lunch!!!
Say what?!!…That price is crazy! At least it was good though. 😉 Fabulous layout!
Wow! We learn from experience.
WOW! That is a lot! Great layout!!
How much????!!!! Great layout.
First I have to say…..it DOES look delicious…BUT, I am with you Kymona, $33.96 would be quite a shocker for me as well. It definitely deserves a whole page layout to remember it by. LOL
A beautiful colourful page.
What a cute layout and fun story. Thanks for sharing.
What a great post, layout and story. Food cost a lot, so does card making with all the gorgeous released items from altenew that I want to buy…. all of it!! thank you for sharing.
A great layout for a crazy $$soup$$ story!
Such a beautiful layout!! Love all the pretty details. 🙂
Your layout is gorgeous, and I think this is Altenew’s best release so far, but i can’t get over the soup.
Sprouts and onions are possibly the cheapest food on the planet. How did adding those quadruple your bill?!
You are so funny!! I had to read your post twice because it kept making me giggle hahahaha. I would have had a hot flash for sure and been so confused. Yup, I would have paid as well but if I was with my husband he would have questioned how it jumped from 8 bucks to 33. For two more things asked for? So cute though, I love how the “good” was super tiny on top of the food cost a lot. That is such a fun story to keep as a memory!!!
Good time to diet when you pay that much for soup. That being said it looks so yummy. Great ideas come from strange places. Thanks for sharing your beautiful inspiration.
Very cute layout. As for the cost of the soup…I think you were robbed.
What a fun scrapbook page. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely scrapbook page. I guess it is only fitting you made a beautiful page to commemorate an extravagantly expensive bowl of soup. I think I would frame this, as it would be a great conversation piece!
Kymona, you are too funny! Love thos large alpha dies. Such a fun layout to document!!
What a gorgeous layout!! The colors of the letters are so stunning!! So fabulous!!
Such a great release, thank you for the inspiration!
Great layout. Thanks for sharing…
Did they weight it right? That was 5 pounds of soup?! I would have been eating that for days…lol! It’s so fun that you documented your super expensive soup!
Super cute layout and interesting story. I don’t think I’ll be ordering soup there anytime soon!
I CANNOT wait to watercolor and cut letters for my layouts. Thank you for the inspiration!
pretty cool layout!
If my soup cost $61745 per pound I’d be making a scrapbook page too! Great idea! and use of the new die release!
What a fun way to use these alphabet dies! I like your coloring and the scrapbook page – very pretty! Thank you!
The Caps Bold Alphabet Die Set is simply perfect!!
Awesome creation !
Quite a jump from $8 to $33! Love your layout, but I think I would have questioned that bill a bit.
Love the letter dies! I think they are perfect for Scrapbooking!
Fun layout! Love the story and those fabulous dies!!! Want ALL of them!
