A Labor of Love









I made these recipe books for my 3 brothers and I for Christmas. They feature my mothers recipes that we recalled from growwing up and a photo of my mom and her kitchen in San Francisco.

I used my Cricut Imagine and the Kate's Kitchen cartridge to create all the little retro cooking elements. I printed up the recipes and tucked them into kraft envelopes that I made with the Christmas Cards Seasonal cartridge. I made the "Moms" for the frnmt cover welding together Sesame Street font on my Gypsy.

The background papers are all from Cosmo Cricket
