October Workshop: Recipe Album

Bliss and I were so excited to finally put together another compilation of recipes using the Nancy O'Dell Recipe 8x8 Quick Kit.  It was a new twist on our old PicFolio favorite...
 
However, when I started to work on my sample page, I noticed I had a slight problem, as a 4x6 recipe card and a 4x6 photo would not fit on a 8x8 scrapbook page.  Hmm...


I really wanted to include pictures of my recipes to share, so I knew I had to come up with a solution.  Thankfully, I remembered that Costco does a 5x7 print of four (4) wallet print sized photos.  Perfect!  I wouldn't have to crop my photo, and Costco would do the resizing for me.
 
 
So here's my finished page... There was even enough room to add an embellishment. The pages look great in the protective sheets of the album, as it can be propped up on its own. This perfect for following the recipe as you're cooking and your hands are either full or dirty.  Can't wait to finish putting together the rest of the album and start making everyone's recipes!
