An easy peasy, DIY for you…recipe cards!
I have oodles of scrapbook paper in my stash of crafty things.
I’ve spent some time scrapbooking in the past, but I’m not good at it.
Also, I don’t like the pressure of it. Sounds funny I know, but scrapbooking makes my heart pound and my palms sweat, but not in a good way. Too much pressure to make a perfect page. Cut a picture…are you kidding me!? And how can I possibly choose just the right photo to make a page? Ackk!
Just too much for me.
So what to do with all my leftover beautiful paper? It’s too pretty to be wasted sitting at the bottom of my closet. Then I found myself needing more recipe cards, and I didn’t feel like buying any (that’s the cheapo in me). Why not make recipe cards! So made them I did.
Scrapbook paper is the perfect size for making 4×6 recipe cards. No waste.
Have a happy day!
Hi I'm Jo-Anna! I mom. I blog. I cook. I craft. I like pretty things.
I feel the same way, I love scrapbook paper but NOT scrap booking. What a clever use for that pretty paper :o)
How fun! What a great idea! I have TONS of scrapbook paper! Thanks for sharing ;)

Great idea! Thanks for sharing! :-)
This is a great idea! I love it! :) And thank you for posting the freebies this weekend! You are the best! xo

Excellent idea! Now I just gotta get myself to actually put the recipes on the paper…;)
I’m always looking for ways to use my scraps of paper. Wonderful idea. :)
yep, good thinking! thanks for sharing!
Great idea! I’m another one of those with tons of scrapbook paper but (after several attempts) I don’t scrapbook. These would make great gifts–filing this one away for later! Did you use really heavy paper or did you back it with some cardstock?
love this idea!!!!! I have so much scrapbook paper as well!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
This is a great idea, I think I might put a few of these together for Mother’s Day, thanks for the inpsiration!
I’m gonna do this for wee Xmas prezzies for my neighbors. Thanks for the idea.
