Organizing my recipes

I have been meaning to organize all the recipe scrap pages that I have for quite a while now...As I do a page or participate in a recipe swap, I just slip the new page into one of the albums I have. Makes it hard to find a recipe later without paging through all the albums.


I have been purchasing the Pioneer 8x8 photo albums that I can slip my 8x8 page layouts into. The album comes with a plastic sleeve to protect the album itself from kitchen spills.

I decided I would do an album for each food category that I mostly have recipes for and did cute little cover inserts so I can easily find my recipes now. I am  happy with how they turned out.
Some of my recipes can be found under the Food Fare link.

Most of the cuts/titles are from the Cricut carts From My Kitchen and Country Life with a few things from Freshly Picked and Pooh and Friends.

Merry Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

May all of you have a joyous day with friends and family. 

Card I sent out this week made using the SVG file from Lettering Delights.

Little elf card using Freshly picked cartridge.

I am linking this post up to Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #44- shaped Holiday card. 

More Holiday Greetings

Well, I told you I would be catching up with posting today.. so here is another card I sent out this week.

This is an SVG file I found over at Creating with Carolina. She was nice enough to share the file with me. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart.
It's almost time to open gifts.

It's Christmas- Oh My!

Well, it's Christmas Eve- I can't believe where the time goes. Just took some gooey caramel monkey bread from the oven so the house smells really good right now. Can't wait for it to cool so we can eat it. It's the beginning of two days of lots of food. 

Here are a couple more cards I did for the holidays. Trying to use some of the stamps I have in the drawer. I remember when I got this stamp- it was last year at a small stamp shop in NYC. It was a very tiny shop, but they had tons of stamps. She looks like she is taking a break from baking Christmas Cookies. 

This next card is very simple using the Cricut Lite cart, Jolly Holidays. I can't take credit for the design. This was a quick card that Helen over at Cricut Crafting Room did last year. But it was so cute and simple, I had to replicate it. 

Have a wonderful day filled with gifts and cookies.
