RECIPE SCRAPBOOK PG. 1

My daughter has been bugging me to make her a recipe scrapbook full of family favourites.  I have never scrapbooked before and for some reason whenever I sat down to start I would get overwhelmed.  I am just so use to making a card.  Well I have finally finished my first page!  I saw a cute apron that a lot of people have been using on the blogs I follow and decided I would use it and see what happened.  I used Cricut's From My Kitchen cart for the oven mitts (I love that cart) and Don Juan for the lettering. I also used my Gypsy and must say I am getting a lot better at creating with it and can see why you scrapbookers love it.

Here it is;

 

The recipe is from my sister's grade 8 home economics class (my kids don't have those classes unfortunately) and my family just loves it.  Great for potlucks & family reunions.  You can tell the recipe is old because in Canada you can't get a 16 or 18 oz. can of pork & beans anymore.  I believe they are 14 oz. now or 398ml.  Not as many beans for the money now!  

Here is a closeup of the recipe;

 
Well I aready have an idea for the Tuna Casserole recipe and the Ham Casserole recipe on her list so does this mean I've been bitten by the scrapbooking bug??

HELLO

My mom winters in Florida and she did not take any of her cardmaking stuff this year and was feeling blue about that, so I made  3 different sets of 4 cards each to send to her to put together.  This is from one of the sets.  I thought she could give them to the hostess if they were invited somewhere for dinner as a little thank you gift.  The circle paper is from DCWV, the gray card base is from one of those 12x12 plain stacks from Michael's and the red is from my scraps.  The phone was cut from the Cricut From My Kitchen cart and I think I cut it at 31/4 or 3 1/2.  I also included plain white inserts that you can write on.  My mom thought the inserts were too plain so she bought a punch and punched down both sides and that really jazzed them up!

HERD IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Well I got my brother-in-laws card done.  The cow is from the FROM MY KITCHEN cart and the grass is from PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK cart.  I embossed the grass with my Cuttlebug distressed stripes folder and I used the Cuttlebug Traffic Jam folder.  The sentiment is from Copper Leaf Creations.  The layout for this card is similar to one in my new Paper Crafts magazine by AJ Otto.  Well I think I will finish my dishes and go down to my craft room and try to tidy it up and maybe start on an Easter card!
