Design Team Project for Country Craft Creations using Carte Bella's Country Kitchen

 

 

The box that would fit nicely on your counter or bookshelf that holds the recipe album. Medium weight chipboard makes this the perfect addition to house the album safely.

The recipe album. This album is full of places to hold all of those beloved 'want to keep' recipes nice and safe, and, all together. I even found these metal measuring spoons in an antique shop and I attached them via a lobster clasp so they could be removed and used and replaced afterwards. Red seam binding finishes the jump ring holder.

 

The recipe album slides in perfectly in it's chipboard book box. The papers in this collection made it so easy to create with. I also used the cut a parts, ephemera packs and sticker sheet to embellish this project. I matted and pop dotted the elements for extra definition and effect.

 

This is the front cover of the recipe album. Aren't the graphics to darn cool and retro!! I added some additional elements such as the matted sticker and the pink pig.

 

A look at the inside of the album. LOTS of space for those recipes for sure.

 

The inside cover (notice all the beautiful pattern papers!), I have created a stationary recipe file that stays closed via the magnet flap. Matted cut a part is popped up for dimension and stickers from the collection were also used to dress it up. I punched file tabs and used them throughout the album. Sooooo much space in this recipe file as each page is a pocket that will hold several recipes.

 

Open the magnetic flap and you have access to all those pockets to hold all those recipes! The tabs can be written on for each category if you wish.

 

Handy huh?! I liked the idea of having the stationary recipe file inside the album, that way everything is all together. Pockets are roomy and will hold several recipes either on recipe cards or cut from magazines and newspapers.

 

Behind the stationary recipe file is a side pocket that holds this sweet Rooster Red booklet. More space for more recipes. I used a cut a part to make the booklet.

 

The first of 6 pages on hinges make up the balance of the recipe album. Each page is also a large pocket that would hold TONS of recipes, and I have created a large matted tag with the punched tab for the pull, another place to add a recipe of course. On the front of each page I took the half moon cut outs and created a matted pocket on the lower right of the pages to hold more of the sweet cut a parts and yet one more place for some recipes!

 

The very cool cut a parts from the half moon pocket.

 

The super large matted tag with the tab pull that resides in each page pocket.

 

View of the next pages......

 

more of the pages.... they all have the large pockets with the half moon cut out and the large matted tags with the tab pull. They all have the bottom right half moon pockets that hold super cool cut a parts also.

 

More of the cool pocket pages

 

I just love the graphics in this collection

 

Pattern papers are fabulous in this collection

 

The last page and the inside of the back cover of the recipe album.

 

On the inside of the back cover of the album, I used 2 of the cut a parts which happen to be recipe cards and created 2 pockets with the punched tabs. They will hold several recipes and with the tabs can be marked for a specific category.

 

Such a fun collection to work with..... I hope you enjoyed this project, and keep checking back, as I will be posting more soon!!
