We went to a wedding in July for a beloved teacher of my boys and I had to come up with a gift, so I made a fairly quick cookbook using my cricut. I used an album with chipboard dividers and clear sleeves with 4x6 pockets by Simple Stories, which I bought at Archievers. I found a fabulous paper collection called Farm Fresh by The Paper Studio that had recipe cards included, and I decorated the chipboard pages with some of the paper and cricut cuts from the From My Kitchen cartridge. I also included some photos of my boys taken in her classroom on the dividers. The boys picked out all their favorite recipes to include-I didn't show all the recipe pages, just the dividers. I did some fun little twists: the oven door opens to show a pie and the pot opens to eggs boiling plus one of the boys added a little note later.
