I've been wanting to create a recipe album for ages now. I've even started one a couple of times only to find it too hard to keep up with. I'm going the super simple route with this album. I designed the cover insert (4x4) and the title page (8x8) in this 8x8 red Doodlebug Album and then I'm using divided page protectors inside that will hold 2 recipe cards per page (or if I want to, a 4x6 photo and a 4x6 recipe card. I'm filling my album with all of our family's most favorite home cooked recipes/meals. The cover and title page are pretty much going to be the only "creative" elements in this album. I'm going for functionality over creativity! However, I may add divider pages eventually for different sections of the album depending on how things work out....
I have said it before but I will say it again: I love looking at Kerri's designs as individual pieces rather than part of a certain "themed" kit. This way I can mix and match designs to create one of a kind pages and projects. I would love to see a food themed kit sometime in the future (hint, hint, Miss Kerri... hee....) for even more foodie themed goodness!
Recipe Album Title Page (size 8x8)
Kits Used:
- This & That Love (cupcake, cake stand)
- This & That Autumn (scale, pie, pear, corn, pumpkin, title)
- This & That Summertime (lemons)
- This & That Family (pitcher)
- This & That Spring (peas in a pod)
- This & That School (books, apple)
- This & That Gratitude (wheat)
- Snapshots #1 (photobooth template)
- Escape ("good eats" title)
- Educationish (apple)
To die cut all the small pieces for the die cut "scene" on my title page and cover, I used small sized designs on 6x6 sheets of patterned paper. The 6x6 paper pads so many manufacturers have to go with their collections are the perfect size for die cuts!
The books from the This & That School Kit are one of my most used die cut designs. I get so much out of this versatile design. School pages for school "books" and for this page recipe "books". You can change the theme by adding some fun stamping to the spine of the books for a custom embellishment.
A few strategically placed dimensional embellishments (twine, ribbon, gems) and coordinating stickers complete the project.
