I've got another mini album to share with you today. I made this album for my brother Pat and his partner Lou. They both like to cook, so I figured they'd be able to use it.
The front and back covers (approx. 7" x 9") are made from mat board and covered with patterned paper from the Be Merry collection by My Mind's Eye. The edges are sponged with old olive ink. The 3 holes are reinforced with eyelets and it is all held together with 2" book rings.
The little oven mitt is a paper pieced stamped image from Baked with Love by Kim Hughes.
The page protectors and recipe cards are from Making Memories' Fa La La collection. I included a few of my own favorite recipes to get them started.
An envelope is attached to the inside back cover for clipped recipes.
Recipe:
Stamps: Baked with Love by Kim Hughes (Cornish Heritage Farms)
Paper: Be Merry patterned paper (My Mind's Eye), recipe cards (Making Memories), whisper white c/stock, mat board
Ink: brown Stazon, chocolate chip marker, old olive
Accessories: brown chipboard letters (Heidi Swapp), real red, chocolate chip, baja breeze ribbon & Linen Thread, (SU), envelope (SU), 2" book rings, blue eyelets (unknown)
Tools: Cropadile, large oval punch, sponge
Have a great day!
Great idea! I love the paper you picked. Too cute!
