this darling recipe title card/page is made by jacquie at Scrapjazz.com using SEI paper. Bravo! Time for a few more catagories! I was able to work on my little 2-up cookbook of my grandmother's recipes this morning for a few hours and added in a couple of the dimensional stickers from Daisy Hill at Walmart. Very cute. I basically added these at each tabbed dividor page. I made my own tabs with cardstock and darling brads also from Walmart that are shaped like pots, pans and rolling pins. When I am ALL done I will share some pics. I need to add rubber stamped wording to each dividor tab and cuten up some of the page cards with doodles.
