I created this cookbook for a class I am teaching at my LSS, Scrapbooks By The Sea. I used a 8" binder book from Bo Bunny. The card stock is all from SBTS and the DP is from Graphic 45's French Country collection. I know I have said this a zillion times already, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this collection. All of the die cuts were cut on my Cricut using the "From My Kitchen De Ma Cuisine" cartridge. The square embellishments were cut from the French Country paper.
I made pockets on each divider to hold recipe clippings. The border strip on the pockets is the reverse side of the pocket DP. I used a SU scalloped border punch to edge. I created the recipe sheets in Microsoft Word. I sanded all the edges and sponged on Antique Photo Distress inks to distress and age the book.
Teaching the class on Saturday, April 27 in Myrtle Beach, anyone want to come? Road trip or plane trip anyone? I'll save you a seat and we can go out after for dinner. Sound like fun?
