Mission Organization: Tackle the Recipes

Since it's a snowy weekend, I decided to clean up my recipes. Last week I cleaned my (gasp!) Junk Drawer and realized why it's called the junk drawer! Anyways, I found some recipes that I had scratched down on backs of receipts, napkins, and ones I pull off cans and packaging. Today I've been dilligently recording them on notecards. This little box was a gift for a recent hostess. I used a 3"x5" index card box (found the school supply aisle for about $2). I made 3"x5" cards in Certainly Celery, rounded the corners and added the divider stamps. I used a 1" circle punch to punch of the images and matted them on a 1-1/4" Basic Black circle.
The box was a bit plain, so I quickly used a scrap piece of Certainly Celery, adhered with Sticky Strip and a 5/8" Basic Black satin ribbon.

Now go get organized (or sit infront of the fire with a good book!). Enjoy your weekend.

A Recipe Book!

I have very important news regarding the Big Shot Starter Kit. The KIT you find in your current idea book (page 193) will not be offered in the new catalog. The Big Shot and the dies will be available in the new catalog, however, it will be A LA CARTE. There IS a savings if you purchase the KIT as opposed to purchasing all the pieces individually. However, if there's a die from the kit you'd rather do without, you now have that option. Does that make sense? If the starter kit was on your wishlist - you only have until June 30th to purchase it. Everything will be available in the new catalog.

Here's a little recipe book I made for a bride-to-be for a shower I attended this weekend. I used the Bella Blue DSP paper. If you don't own this paper, you need it! It's simple and elegant and perfect. I'll show you the card I made later in the week (wink, wink). And I have a shower invite to show you too - so keep coming back!
I printed recipes on 3"x5" cards, but I left a 1" left margin for the binding. I used naked chipboard for the front and back covers. I used my Bind-It-All to close the book. Dividers were stamped and colored, punched out using the 1" circle punch, matted on 1-1/4" circle. The "R" on the cover was a homemade chipboard letter and the remaining letters were punched using my Big Shot and Go-Go Boots letters.
