Main Dishes

This divider page for my friend's recipe album was based on sketch #58 by Card Positioning Systems.

The plate and silverware are from the From My Kitchen cartridge.  I used my Cricut markers to trace the silverware before cutting it out, leaving a nice outline around the pieces.  The words are from A Child's Year.

Mixes Page

This year my friend and I got together to try making some mixes--herb rice mix, ranch dressing mix, and onion soup mix.  So, I decided to make a "mixes" divider page for her recipe binder.

I used a sketch I found here.  The jars are from the From My Kitchen cartridge.  I used my Gypsy to get rid of the labels they came with and then used my Gypsy and Cricut markers to write labels on them.  The dark blue strips on the side were run through my Cuttlebug in the Argyle folder.

Appetizers page

I had a little trouble thinking of an image to put on the appetizers page for my friend's recipe album.  I decided to use sketch #6 from Card Positioning Systems, using some of my scraps from the previous pages instead.  The font is from A Child's Year and the flourish under it is from Gypsy Wanderings.

Side dishes page

This is the latest divider page I made for my friend's recipe album.  It was based on sketch 261 from Card Positioning Systems.  My friend was visiting today and I was able to borrow her Country Life Cricut cartridge for the veggies.  The words were from the Holiday Cakes cartridge (welded with my Gypsy).

Soups page

This is the latest installment in the set of divider pages I'm making for my friend's recipe album.  The layout is based on a sketch from Pamela's World of Scrap.  The bowl and spoon image is from the From My Kitchen cartridge.  Although hard to see in the picture, the background behind the bowl and spoon was run through the Scalloped Dots embossing folder by The Paper Studio.  The word "soups" is from A Child's Year  (I welded the letters with my Gypsy) and the tag behind the word is from Gypsy Wanderings.

Crock Pot page

This is the latest page I created as a divider for my friend's recipe book.  I used a sketch from Card Positioning Systems for inspiration.  To create a Crock Pot, I used the pot from the From My Kitchen cartridge.  I stretched it on the Gypsy to make it wider and hand trimmed the handles down.  I also used part of the timer image from the same cartridge to make the dial.  I had thought about cutting out one of the other appliances from that cart that has a cord, but after adding the dial I thought it looked close enough to a crock pot that I didn't need it.  The words "Crock Pot" were cut from Gypsy Font.

Canning page

This is the next divider page I made for my friend's recipe album.  This will probably be the only page with pictures.  She is the one who got me into canning a few years ago.  She posted a few pictures of her goodies on Facebook, and we took a picture together this year after a day of canning, so I decided to use some of those pictures on this page.  I used a sketch from Card Positioning Systems that I found on Pinterest.  The word canning came from the Cricut Preserves cartridge.

Desserts

My friend and I have both started printing out the good recipes we have found online.  We've discovered that if you don't, it can be hard to remember later where the recipe was, and sometimes the recipe is no longer there when you go back to it!  I saw my friends giant binder of recipes the last time I was at her house.  They are all in sheet protectors.  I asked her if she had them organized by categories, and she said, "Not yet."  I decided that for my Christmas gift to her, I would help her organizer her binder.  I went to Office Max and purchased a set of tabbed sheet protectors.  There are 8 in the pack.  I'm going to make sheets for different sections of a recipe album.  (I just hope I make categories she will use!)  Here is my first one:

The sketch for this page came from Sketch Saturday.  The word desserts is from the Cricut cartridge Cursive 101 (I welded the letters together on my Gypsy.)  The oval and piece of cake are from the From My Kitchen cartridge.  I ran the oval through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.

This page will be entered in the following challenges:
