Hi there ... How's your week going?
It's challenge time at City Crafter once again and this week we have Anna hosting for us
Anna is asking that we make a project related to the kitchen
(e.g.apron, cupcakes, kitchen utensils, recipes)
I don't know about you but I tend to keep pieces of paper with my favourite recipes all over the place ... promising to file them somewhere...sometime
Well this challenge pushed me to make a book to finally store these recipes ...
I used an inexpensive flip photo album to make this ... took me a long time to print all my recipes onto blank postcards but it was worth it ... In fact I've started another book as I filled this so quickly - blame Pinterest!
I made a pocket inside the front cover to hold conversion charts which I printed and laminated to keep them clean - I guess I'm hoping that there'll be no excuse for my DH not to cook once and a while
All the papers and embellishments came from my stash - those stickers I've had for a long time
of course I needed somewhere to put the books ... and I found the perfect container
A vintage radio tin which I picked up for £1.25 in the post Christmas sales ... it was filled with creamy toffees which were delicious
I love this tin and it looks so good in my kitchen and now all my recipes are to hand
our Guest Designer this week is a very talented lady -
Hop over to the blog to see her lovely creation and those from the rest of our team
I'm still on holiday so forgive me for not visiting your blogs for a while - I hope to catch up with you soon ...
Have a lovely week
Till soon

So perfect Ros!!! I love it!! And the radio container is the perfect compliemt to the recipe book!
Fantastic project Ros! Great mix of patterned papers and LOVE the awesome recipe box! What a great find!
What an ingenious idea. I have a boring notebook with my fave recipes in but yours is beautiful and so gorgeously done. May have to borrow this idea ( love the tin too!) X
I'm totally excited about how you made your recipe book Ros! Love its great retro feel and I'm absolutely positive this will make cooking/baking only more fun! Especially with this superb radio container in your kitchen, it's a real treasure! Have a lovely evening, Ira x

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Well worth all of the time! Wish I had my Mom's recipes! And that radio tin is just FANTASTIC, Great project!
OMG; You are a very talented crafter. A recipe album that looks wonerful. I never ever would have thought of a flip over album; the idea is brilliant. An I right when I am seeing Melissa Frances papers and stickers. They are the perfect addition for a vintage look. That radio made my jaw drop. And again a wonderful way to repurpose. I am impressed and in love.
