Last fall, my mom and I went to the AWESOME scrapbooking store Archiver’s, where we saw a really cute homemade recipe book. They were holding a class to teach people how to make it, but we weren’t able to go, so we bought the stuff to do it ourselves and I made her one for Christmas.
The paper and chipboard embellishments came from Cosmo Cricket’s Early Bird Crafting Kit. Mom and I have fallen in love with Cosmo Cricket’s stuff. I just ordered the Get Happy and Cogsmo crafting kits too. The holder for the recipes is the Maya Road clear acrylic calendar stand. (They’re pretty nifty, I think that I’m going to buy some more to make little sit-around scrapbooks for people. That’s actually what the Get Happy paper is for— I’ve already picked out who I’m going to make the first one for!)
Anyway, the recipe book is pretty cute, and the Early Bird paper came with lots of cute stickers and journaling cards. Mom still needs to add in her recipes, but here’s how it looks so far:
