Today I have made my very first recipe book with my cinch and the From My Kitchen cartridge. This was made for MizEster for our fall swap that Sherry put together for us. It was so much fun and can't wait for the christmas on to come around.
The book is an 8x8 chipboard and I used a piece of pattened paper from The Paper Studio's Persnickety pack. I love all the pinks and browns and greens that they have in it. I took a strip of brown craft paper and used my MS leaf punch and punched both sides for a boarder that went acroos the middle of the book. I cut the apron from page 51 out at 4" and also used a piece of patten paper out of the same stack. I cut the bowl from page 48, timer from page 54 and oven mitten from page 53 out at 1.5" and used the same paper as the apron and cuttlebuged the bowl and used gel pens to make it look like a set of temp tations bake ware that I have. I cut the measuring cup and spoons from page 47 out at 2" and used liquid glass for the dark blue liquid and also used it on the spoons. I took some white Enamel Accents and put it on the white trim on the apron and oven mitt and also used it on the cuttlebuged swirls on the bowl. I took my white gel pen and put the number lines on the timer to give it a little extra. I cut the word "recipes" from page 43 at 2" and the paper came from the same stack as the other did. I used my white gel pen and kinda stiched on it some. I cut out another but 1/4 inch bigger and kinda off set it from the printed paper word to give it that shadow look. I also took and to give it a little bit of a girly look I took some pink and white ribbon and tied it on a few of the loops. On the inside I took 50 recipe cards and broke them down into 5 groups of 10 and stair steped them with tabs(sorry I forgot to take a picture of that before I sent it to her).
