Back in 2005 my husband and I had a Halloween Party, and I made a book for keeping the recipes I wanted to use, party planning papers and such. This is that book. I found it today, whilst I was getting ready for our Halloween this year, and I thought you all would like to see it.
This is a paper bag book, made out of full sized grocery bags, folded in half and the edges trimmed. It is big enough to hold 8 1/2" x 11" papers!
This was pre-Cricut days...so I created the recipe tombstones on my computer. I hand cut all of the letters with stencils to make the titles for my pages. I even created the tags, which I will show in a later picture.
I don't know the line of papers I used, that was 6 years ago, sorry!
I made up the "spooky" recipes by myself.
The binding was a simple ribbon binding.
Here are the tags I made.
This is just an example of what I have in my pockets. It held magazine clippings, printouts from the net, and I even have pumpkin carving templates in here! It was cool to find it buried under my cookbooks. It was a mini time capsule.
Stay Scary, My Friends!
How fun, and what a great way to preserve memories (and recipes...lol)!!!
