My new passion has been in creating 4x6 recipe cards of my family recipes. For Christmas last year, I printed two sets from York Photo and put them in cute recipe books for my kids. I really liked how they turned out so I bought a recipe book for myself and re-printed all my cards as well as cards I have also received from various recipe exchanges. Here is my latest card. Shrimp Scampi. The recipe came from a little cookbook called Glorious Garlic by Charlene A. Braida. Of course I made some modifications, so I made the card so I would remember what I did! Being tired I used a bag of Trader Joe's frozen uncooked shrimp and simply served it on top of Trader Joe's Spinach Salad with Cranberries, Pecans. Blue Cheese & Raspberry Vinaigrette. (A strange combination but it was quite tasty.) If you like recipe's you can click on the thumbnail to download a full resolution card for printing.

This is the pocket page recipe book I got for my son. It is really cute and is decorated with little metal utensil set. I took out the cards that came with the book and inserted the cards that I made and printed. I gave my son the cards so he can write new recipes on them and add them to the book.
This is the one I got for my daughter. I found these at a Hallmark store at the mall. I printed so many recipes, I needed additional inserts. I found them available at C. R. Gibson online. So when purchasing the inserts for them I found a cute recipe book for me too:)
This is the one I got for me. These wonderful pocket page recipe books can be found at C. R. Gibson. I like them because they are smaller than a binder (they are 8x9) and hold a lot of 4x6 recipes.
Happy cooking and scrapping!

Your pages are lovely Canay! As far as omitting the 'frames' around photos--it's been a while since I've done it. I scrolled through the HTML code until I found the line of code that addresses that and deleted it. Since I've deleted it, I don't know what it is! =) Sort of fish around under "posts" and see if you can tell which it is. I just keep previewing and undoing until I get it to do what I want. Your blog is going in my favorites! Have a great weekend!

OMGosh! I just love your idea! I've been scrapping the odd recipe here and there using various sizes for different challenges, not know how I really wanted my book to look... but know i know! this is great, thank you so much for blogging about it!
