The cute stamps on this recipe book are made by Crafty Secrets. I just love the vintage look of everything on their site. I made the recipe books for our hospital auxiliary ladies. After the spring luncheon, there were many requests for the desserts that were provided by the Auxiliary officers and I was approached to create a recipe book for everyone. The volunteer coordinator for the hospital, Annette, typed and printed the recipes up. I cut the recipes to size and put them into a booklet. I got the idea for the recipe book on the Crafty Secrets website in the Sample Gallery (there are so many lovely items there, I wish I could buy one of everything on the site).
I used CTMH papers and the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot for the green strip of paper on the left side and Nestabilities for the scalloped green square behind the image of the little chef. I bought the green stripe ribbon at Scrapfest '08 in Minneapolis. And even though it is barely visible, I used red Stickles on the cherries that are on the apron. I just love that apron. I have 2 crocheted ones like that in a drawer somewhere here at home. I need to be digging them out. After the visit with my aunt in Minnesota, I learned that my grandmother almost always had an apron on.
