Updating My Recipe Journal

Updating My Recipe Journal

.  

Hi. Lisa here today!

I'm working in my recipe journal.

I have an A5 planner where I store my favourite recipes. These are recipes that our family love and they all have stories attached to them.

I also decided today that I wanted to create some new dashboards. These are the 4 separators between each section.

I'm using the Doodlebug Design collection - Made with Love.

It's so perfect! I do have a process video here if you'd like to watch.

 

I used a page from the planner as my template to cut to size (cutting it slightly larger than the page). I laminated it and added the holes. I also  added a pocket on the front of each using this sheet. It's so cute. I love the illustrations.

I ended up decorating the reverse of each one too

I have brunch, dinner, dessert & snacks sections. But you could have whatever works best for you.

I couldn't resist the cute tags here. I cut them out and popped them inside the pockets.

.

I used a tab punch to create the tabs on the top. Using the papers from the collection and stapling them in place.

 

I also created a page about our Fluffy Pancake recipe that we use loads. It was given to me about 12 yrs ago by a scrapbooking friend in the US.  It was so nice to give this loved recipe a proper home and document the story. .

.

This paper here is perfect for story telling. I only attached it down in the centre, so I could slide my tag under and it's now held firmly in place. I also decorated my pages with the matching stickers which I love.

I'm so happy with these new additions to my recipe journal and I hope you like them too. Don't forget the video here. I've got an idea with the leftovers using the collection, so I'll be back with another idea soon.

Take care

Lisa x
