This is one of my favorite salad recipes I thought I'd share. I've been enjoying making my favorite recipes into keepsake cards over the past year and now that I have a pretty recipe box to store them in, you'll be seeing a few more recipes from me. Just think of them as mini scrap pages and have fun!
Mine ususally measure 4" x 6" and I start by printing my recipe from a Word document onto Neenah cardstock. You'll just need to set your printer for a cardstock option, and this weight of cardstock will run through your printer just fine. The fonts I used are Susie's Hand for the title (a free font available at just about any font download site) and Batik Regular for the rest (standard Word font).
Once printed, I trimmed the recipe portion to approximately 3" x 5", rounded the corners, and stamped the Lockhart Tomato With Greens. Since this recipe calls for no tomatos, but pears, I decided to stamp the Lockhart Single Pear, cut it out and pop it up over the tomato, creating a new type of Vegetable Couture! The images were colored with the Copic markers listed below.
The recipe was adhered to patterned paper measuring 4" x 6". Flowers and Dew Drops accent the left side. I hope you'll try making some of your beloved family recipes into keepsakes to pass along to family and friends ... I'm sure they'll be greatly appreciated!
If you'd like to copy and paste the recipe, here it is:
