Cookbook Scrapbooking

Anne — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 02:49:35 +0000

For many of us a treasured family cookbook is a great way to recreate the beloved foods from our youth. Many of us have fond memories of particular foods or occasions. Incorporating these recipes within a scrapbook can create an heirloom that will be treasured for years to come.

Cookbook scrapbooking is taking recipes and incorporating them into a scrapbook. This can be done by transcribing the recipes onto paper or index cards and placing them into the album. But unlike a traditional cookbook, it’s not just recipes that are included. Adding comments and stories to correspond with each recipe is what makes these books so special. For instance, taking Grandma’s recipe for pumpkin pie and write it out on an index card. Attach that card into an 8X8 scrapbook page. Underneath the card, write a journal entry that includes when she made the pie, why you loved it, and special memory. You can even write about the first time you tried to make it, maybe it was burned or flopped. This makes the recipes special for your children, their children, and continues throughout each generation.

To enhance cookbook scrapbooking, ask family members to write out their favorite recipes and include their own comments. Attach each handwritten note to a page and write who the recipe is from. You can also include your own thoughts on the recipe. If you have any photographs of the preparation or finished project be sure to include them. Maybe someone won a prize for a bake-off, include the newspaper article or other item. Let your children write out their favorite recipes, or if they are very young, ask them why they like a particular item. You can also add notes about where the recipe came from, why it was a hit. Maybe your favorite party appetizers came from the internet, write a short story depicted why you chose that and why.

When you are done creating your cookbook scrapbook, include blank pages at the end, so that other family members can include more recipes as the book gets passed down through the generations. Add page protectors to each page to avoid damaged pages. This will not only protect the pages from water or other spills, but make them easy to wipe clean.

Cookbook scrapbooking is a great way to pass on a tradition to our children. These are a great way to spend quality time together as a family by cooking and baking together. Not only will our children learn how to follow directions and patience, but they will also learn a little bit about their family history. It is a great item to pass down and it will still be useful for many years to come. Include your prized holiday meal recipes and it will sure to be a much sought after item. Other family members will be begging to borrow it. It’s an easy, innovative way to keep our recipes organized and our traditions intact for now and the years from now.

Making Pages for a Greeting Card Scrapbook

Anne — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:56:03 +0000

When creating a beautiful scrapbook there will be occasions when adding a greeting card will be necessary. This is true especially of events such as weddings, a new baby, anniversaries, birthdays, and other events. There are several ways to incorporate these cards into your scrapbook. With a little ingenuity, making pages for a greeting card scrapbook can be fun and easy.

First, decide why you want to incorporate this greeting card. If the card is valuable only for the design or accent, then this item can be cut out and applied to the page anywhere. No special steps are necessary. There are also times when the greeting card can be used as a background. This method shows the celebration of the event without calling attention to the card itself. This is helpful when you want to incorporate the card, but do not want to showcase it.

Other methods for making pages for a greeting card scrapbook use special pocket pages. To make these pages simply use cardstock to create a pocket large enough for the greeting card to fit inside. Attach three sides of the cardstock to the scrapbook page, leaving the top open. Then insert the greeting card into the pocket. By using similar collars you can make the pocket itself part of the design. For instance, if the greeting card is from someone who is vacationing you can attach old stamps or envelopes to the pocket to make it blend into the theme.

There is another great trick for making pages for a greeting card scrapbook. Use a background paper and attach it to the scrapbook page. Take the back of the card and add scrapbooking tape. Attach the card firmly to the page. In this method the card will be attached to the book and cannot be easily removed, so ensure you will want it to stay there before attaching. Then when you have completed the pages, take the page protector and place it over the page. Take a scissor and very carefully open the blade and run it over the page protector along the opening of the card. Do not cut the side of the card that is folded over. This will cut the page protector so you can still open the card and the page will be protected. This method is not perfect and occasionally the protector may rip. But this method is great for showcasing the writing inside the card while not compromising the look of the page and while keeping the page protected.

When deciding on how to begin making pages for a greeting card scrapbook practice with various methods and find what is right for you. Not everyone will enjoy the same look and feel of a project. Some methods are more complicated than others, so finding something you are comfortable with is very important. Remember to decide why and how you want to incorporate the greeting card into your scrapbook and that will help determine which method may be best to use.

Multi-Topic Scrapbooking Page Ideas

Anne — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:06:42 +0000

Normally scrapbooks come in a single packaged idea. A regular scrapbooker usually dedicates his/her work either to one person or a single event. This type of scrapbooking, however, can get dull after a while for a frequent scrapbooker.

If you are an avid scrapbooker and are tired of the regular day-to-day scrapbooking routine, it might be time to take a different approach. You might want to dedicate a new scrapbook project to your different favorites. This scrapbook can be devoted to the different things that depict your interests and perspectives. Here are a few scrapbook page ideas that you might want to consider when building this volume.

Devote a page or two to your friends:

Regardless of whether you have one best friend or a group of buddies with whom you often spend time, it would be nice to capture these memories in your scrapbook of favorites. Your scrapbook can include individual or group photos. Make journal entrees of interesting descriptions about each individual or a memory you shared together.

Your Pet Page:

Undoubtedly, your pet is most likely among your best friends. That dedicated buster who is always at your side and has shown undying devotion to you deserves a page in this scrapbook. Whether you choose a solo shot for this page or multiple photos with you and your pet, it does not matter. The more important thing is to write down your most treasured experiences with your adorable animal. In the days to come, these stories will mean a treasure of memories to you.

Favorite musical band:

This could be a really fun page. Use the band's name as the title of this page. If you have autographed photos/CD covers, T-shirts, or other souvenirs from concerts, take a photograph of them and incorporate it on this page. Include information about each band member and excerpts from your favorite songs.

Automobile:

Dedicate one of your scrapbook pages to your car or truck. Include an image of the vehicle and do a little journaling about the vehicle's features. This is also a great way to feature the most hard-working assistant in your life.

Your favorite restaurant:

Do you have a favorite spot where you and your friends hang out? Next time you visit, take a camera and ask the waiter to take your picture. You could also include a photo of the menu and your favorite dish when it is presented.

Your favorite shoes:

Among the many favorites there are, the least given attention to are shoes. They are the most hard-working friends you’ve got, and they have no complaints when you walk all over them. It would be nice to dedicate a page to them just to give them credit for all their hard work. Add a little spunk on this page and narrate a story of your good times together.

Recipe:

Dedicating a page of your scrapbook to your favorite recipe is a must. Remember, you are what you eat. Your favorite recipe tells so much about your personality and preferences. Post the recipe itself and a photo of the dish. Don't forget to add a little journaling about why you like this recipe in particular.

Whatever scrapbook page idea you might have for this book is sure to be perfect. The things you like embody who you are. Bear in mind that who you are is a treasure. Scrapbooking your memories is a great gift you can give to generations to come.
