Mom's Diner Recipe Book

Here is my finished project that I promised to show you.  I used a variation of an envelope book page that I showed you here.  I love how this turned out.  The measuring spoons are hilarious...they measure "Nip", "Smidgen", "Pinch", and "Dash".  I found them for $1 somewhere, but I can't remember where! I found them, and some of the other supplies, when I moved my stuff into my new space.

 I made 5 pages in all, but each page has three pockets and 8 recipe cards.  Phew, that's a lot of recipes!

 I made the cardstock page as a "tube".  Then, on each side, I adhered one of the envelopes like I described in the above link to my "Sweet Baby" album.

 Two recipe cards go into each of the envelope pockets.

 In the pocket created by the cardstock tube that I made, I put the tags (above).  They each have a recipe card on the back side as well.

 Then, in-between each of the pocket pages, I made a plain page of cardstock, with recipe cards on each side.  There are 4 of these pages, for 8 more cards.

 I love the feel of the book.  It is super heavy and sturdy.

 There is a ton of space for recipes...and one could even put pictures on the pages instead of recipes!

 I want a malt now...how about you?

 The papers are from Echo Park, "Happy Days" collection.

 I used a ton of embellishments also.

The covers are made of chipboard, covered in paper.  Here is a list of supplies used:
Jenni Bowlin: Antique Buttons
Jolee's:  Dimensional Stickers

Recollections and Teresa Collins:  Bling
