My first scrap book…when I had hardly any knowledge of scrap booking.I made this book about four years back.This was a book that I made for my daughter..she has a cooking blog and giving her this recipe book for her birthday seemed just appropriate.Throughout the book I used downloaded papers,which I got printed.I got ruled papers and stuck these on ivory papers….now I understand that I could have used some other cheaper paper…it was not going to show anyway.I used dots and stripes..and my circle punch to fullest!!
II did’nt get any embllishments….I took pictures of foods from her blog and got these printed…and the blog logo….”olives and basil”…I made small prints of these and pasted them….created pockets at a few places.
At that time I did’nt even have a good camera..so had taken pics very randomly fortunately saved them and today I am posting them.
The only place where I used embllishments was the cover page….I made a mini jute sack and filled grain and pasted some stickers which said..Tea ,Sugar,Coffee and Flour…these were 3D stickers..also I stuck some tiny lamasa fruits..a watermelon slice..a pear.
After getting the book binded ..I prefer spiral….I attached loads of ribbons..and thats it!!
I know if I were to make a book on the same format I would do a much better job…but still this one remains to be my favorite there was so much love into the making of book where there was no inking..no die cuts…..no special papers…no stylish embllishments……n no special camera…just love to wish my doll a happy birthday.
For a slightly better version click and see the pages.
Such a nice thought to make a book…It looks lovely. Happy birthday to your daughter.
That's such a lovely thought. I am sure this will be something that your daughter cherishes.
This is so lovely..I would have love to see this in person…
I totally agree with you..the first book is always the one closest to your heart..simply coz we use scissors, paper, gum..no die-cuts, no ready made embellishments! That is the true joy of making a scrapbook!
Great thought.Nice way to show yr feelings.
Happy Birthday to yr daughter. Love & Regards.

I love crafting and your book is very cute. I made two family cookbooks but all on the computer. I added recipes along with photos and family stories. It was quite popular in the family as they all wanted a printed copy. I think it was the family stories I added that made it so popular.
