I used Carta Bella Christmas paper collection to make a book last year and I ended up selling it, which I really didn’t want to. I bought more paper at the time so I could recreate the same album. Never did. I’m glad I saved it all this time. Here’s my partake in this challenge. It does not seem like my front cover is covered in acetate, but it is. I used acetate for my pouch in the front inside cover as well. Instead of adding a pocket on my tag ( I intended but forgot), I made it a pocket with a folder insert. And for the photo cards on the back inside cover, I used these cute little tiny magnets around the edges. This was fun!

I created this project using Frances Long’s 1st edition of her Kitchen collection and stickers from the 2nd edition. I added solid color cardstock because I do too much and I didn’t plan anything and I was running low on paper. I just go with the flow. I love the colors and designs of the paper collection and the fact that it’s handmade. I used Design Space to make my kitchen window for the front cover, and for my recipe cards…and to design my tags and cute butterflies and “Recipe Slayer!” I want to also mention that I don’t like cooking, but I LOVE crafting. I can cook, though.
