A Taste of Scrapbooking

I think I mentioned before that I like scapbooking, but that I haven't quite been able to fully get into it. I'm trying some digital pages, and I like that a lot, but I still really like the feel of paper in my hands. When I came across these recipe pages I made a few years ago, it reminded me of a great way to get back into scrapbooking. These pages go much faster, especially since most of the page is taken up by the recipe itself. And because of the 6x6 size, it's a lot less intimidating than that huge blank 12x12. And who couldn't use a new recipe nicely displayed in their kitchen? Does anybody really do that?!

For this project I used Basic Grey patterned paper for my 6x6 base. Have I told you how addicted I am to fonts? Well, this is a great way to use them! I printed the recipe, stamped a random pattern using a branch/foliage image, then matted it on burgundy cardstock. I then added some punched leaves for an added embellishment.


The recipe layer was adhered to the base and I attached a piece of patterned paper across the front with a few bronze brads. I love all the Fall colors on this project!

So, another lesson learned today. I am definitely not giving up on scrapbooking! As a matter of fact, I may have to try another one of these recipe pages really soon! Or at least make the recipe!

P.S. The recipe is from my Paula Deen cookbook and is very tasty! I was going to include it in this post, but it's getting too late and I must go to bed! If you are interested, shoot me an email and I'll gladly send it your way! But I hope you're not counting calories y'all, because you know Paula spares no fat grams!
