Recipe Album

A few of you have asked about the Family Recipe Album that I put together as a bridal shower gift for my cousin Sara. Well...since today is the day of the shower, I think it's safe to go ahead and share some pictures.
Aunt Sheryl told me that Sara's kitchen colors are moss green and dark red, so I was excited to find this album as I perused the scrapbook section of Target.

I divided up the recipes by category, using the Stampin' Up "From the Kitchen Of" stamp set, along with the SU tab punch. I colored in the stamps using my new Sakura 3-D ink "Souffle" & "Glaze" markers. LOVE THEM!!!

After requesting recipes from family members, I re-typed all of them into a template, and then centered them on coordinating papers. I used the SU tab punch & stamp set again, along with a silver eyelet to pull the recipe card together.

Here's a close-up of a recipe submitted by one of Sara's Aunts.

In all, I think I had over 50 recipes...thanks family members!!! I think it turned out great, and hope Sara will enjoy the album for years to come!
Anyone looking for a unique shower or wedding gift?? I can't wait to make my next one.
