DIY Recipe Cards
One of my goals for last year was to find a way to collect recipes. I have a standard 5x3 card holder with beautiful cards that I love. I have cookbooks. I have a recipe binder that you can add 4x6 cards in. And knowing my love for Project Life you would think this would be the avenue of my choice. But, having all three of these within reach in my kitchen, I found that the recipe box that is small, sits on the counter and allows me to only pull out one card at a time that takes up no counter space, was the one I used most frequently. So I decided this would be the main way I collected recipes. The only problem was that I forgot to actually write down the recipes and was frantically searching pinterest constantly. So I started being more thoughtful about writing them on the cards and was doing great...until I used all the cards. Now I had to find more cards, but that's harder than you think in Korea. Then I had a great idea! I could just make my own. I love Liz's designs, they are clean and beautiful. I had this set of cards for my Project Life album already and knew they would be perfect for this project. 
I simply opened the files in Photoshop and dropped in my food photo and added a bit of text to name the recipe on the front. Then I made a new file with the text and formatted it the way I liked. I printed these on heavy, white cardstock, front and back, on my home printer. 
This project was super easy and now I have the most beautiful recipe cards that fit into my box! How perfect are the designs from this kit? You know I have a strange love affair with food, so saying things (seductively) like 'you are my favorite' to a pancake is perfectly applicable.... Recipes shown are the Orea Truffles from A Beautiful Mess (did you see they re-instagramed my photo of these!?) and Elise Joy's pancake recipe. (these are possibly the best pancakes Ive ever made)Products used: Pictures + Words No. 7
