Hi, Jean here to finish off my Colorful Cookbook.
Family and Friends come first with me! Love to entertain all the time for any reason or no reason at all!
I collect Cookbooks and make them for gifts. Wedding showers, housewarmings and small ones for hostess gifts.
I like a binder format with removable page protectors to allow adding or changing the contents.
Ribbon is a savior for this type of project, it covers any areas that may not have been perfectly cut or trimmed. I use scissors and a rotary cutter interchangeably.
I created a bookmark using a small wooden clothespin ( a regular size will work too) I attached ribbon and a fabric flower with E6000 since it will be handled a lot. (hot glue works great too) Allow to dry overnight to be sure. You can add a magnet to the back if you like.
The inside pages are color coordinated to the dividers I made from SABOR papers, I allowed a tab to extend beyond the page protectors and covered it with an adhesive plastic sheet for durability.

I HAVE A SAD STORY ~ My blog post was all finished and ready to go, I wanted to just add one tweak when BOOM! I inadvertently hit a key and POOF, the entire post disappeared. Don't know what I pressed but I will never do it again! Therefore, it is shorter but you still get the point!
For my project, I used a binder I got at a general merchandise store, ( we never say the name of the evil chain that begins with W and ends with mart)
I covered front and back covers as well as the inside with fabulous SABOR papers, any will work since they are mostly all coordinated and work together.

A tip for using ribbons, it is a good idea to singe the cut ends so they do not unravel. VERY SLIGHTLY use a flame, match or lighter to barely touch the edge for a second or two at most. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL!!!

Here is a recipe that always gets rave reviews. Click on it, and save it to your desktop for future use. It's fairly healthy too.
