Here's the bottom front done, not sure what to do w/ the top!
Ah! After some help from some stamping friends (you know who you are ;), I was able to finish the top!!!
I am really happy w/ the way it turned out!!!
Detail shot of the first part of "Recipes"

Here's the inside tabs that I made! Labels One nestie (smallest)
I made 20 large recipe cards to go w/ the recipe box!
I couldn't stop!!!! I made these last! There's 10 of these. No sentiment, she can use them however she wishes!
Once I finished the recipe cards, I got started on these cards.
Once I finished the recipe cards, I got started on these cards.I am still inspired from Linda Beeson's card using this Nesties from Labels One. Plus, can you find a card like this at Hallmark?!
I made two different versions, 5 each, so that she has a little variety!
And here's the whole ensemble together!
Ok! I'm done with the pictures!! LOL!
Elizabeth is getting baptized this morning, and I wanted to make a special gift for her Godmother, my cousin. I played around w/ several alterable ideas, and settled on a recipe box and some cards. My mom told me that if I'm making a recipe box, it would be nice to include recipe cards! DUH!!!! That WOULD be a nice addition! Good thing SOMEONE thought of it! And they were a piece of cake to make! I made 20, and it probably took me a total of 2 hours. I had to draw the lines. :( Only bad part!
For the box itself, I covered it in paper from Paris Nights - g c d studios. I found it at Michaels and thought it would be perfect! It's actually a tougher material than cardstock, which I found both easy to use, and very unique! I used some of my nesties to create the letters for "recipes", to add some cool details, and ribbon on the front to make it elegant.
For the cards, I used a bird from a Tim Holtz collection, and the flower from Fifth Avenue Floral. These cards came together really well and quickly! Good thing as I hit the wall last night at 3:30 AM!
Well, I have to finish the fruit salad and get some other stuff together.
Have a blessed day!
