When I was in my early 20's, my mom wrote out all of the favorite family recipes. She even had recipes from her grandmother from Sweden! What a great gift I was receiving at the time. I can share the recipes with my girls and they can learn about the grandmother they never met. I purchased a recipe box and decorated it with Early Bird Cosmo Cricket paper. The inside of the lid has a photo of my mom that will bring a smile to my face every time I open the recipe box. Additional dividers where created with my Gypsy to match the pre-made tabbed dividers allowing more room to journal the traditions of the recipes. I used my Imagine (with Best Friends), E2, and Cuttlebug (with Swiss Dots and Seeing Dots folders).
This is my entry for the Cricut Circle's August Magazine Cosmo Cricket Challenge.
