Keepsake Recipe Page
I wanted to save the recipes given to me by my mom and mother-in-law in their own handwriting. This page was made using Christmas holiday paper. You can choose any design paper you'd like for this project. I made this awhile back and honestly could not tell you what brand of scrapbook papers I used. I started by making the recipe cards out of the red paper as shown in the photos. You can use one of the recipe card templates below, if you desire or you can make your own. As you can see, I put in the words, "Recipes for Love." You can put whatever you'd like. "Mom's Recipes" or "Recipes of Love" to give you an example.
For the recipe holder, I cut the green paper to a 5" x 7" size and folded the edges in to make it the size you see here. It is made just large enough to hold a recipe card size. I then took the red paper and cut two strips about 3 inches wide each and long enough to measure the same as the green paper. I folded that piece of paper into an accordion style the same way we learned to make a paper fan in school. I measured again and cut the accordion strips to match the size of the green recipe holder. Tape or glue one edge of the red accordion paper to the back of the green recipe cover as shown in the second photo. Do this with the second red accordion paper on the other side of the green recipe cover. Place the green recipe holder onto your layout and decide where you want it to go. Now glue or tape to the back of the folded red accordion paper piece and place down onto your layout. The rest is done as shown in the two photos. You can use your imagination and design any layout you'd like. Have fun saving those precious recipes in your loved one's handwriting to a scrapbook.
