Recipe Scrapbooking

A Recipe Scrapbook is a decorative book of quotes, sayings, pictures, and recipes.

 These make great gifts.  I have done them as  Wedding and Christmas Gifts. They are a great way to  keep a history of your family recipes. You can put in pictures of who you got the recipe from, Maybe it was an aunt or grandparent. Along with their picture (if you have one available) tell something about them.  Then put in the recipe, is it one they developed or how did the recipe come about. Put in a picture of the finished product if possible.  Comments about the recipe. How did it taste, what did it remind you of.

When I did the wedding gift ones it was for co-workers and I got recipes from other co-workers and brides family and future husbands family.  I had pictures of the co-workers taken at work and decorated it with food stickers, die cuts, pictures of food from magazines etc. The brides loved them. It got them started with a recipe book from both families and they can add their own recipes to it.  Plus they are fun to do. Something I just thought of is creating a book for a teacher with children's recipes. How fun would that be.

This is not a complete list of all you can do but it gives you ideas and is a good sampling of what you can do.  Let your imagination run away and see what you can come up with.
