I finished the other recipe book that I said I was making, this one is for my cousin who loves to travel and cook.
The papers are from Kaisercraft Pack Your Bags collection which I thought was quite appropriate for Michael. I used a Martha Stewart punch called Iron Gate border that I've had for some time and hadn't used. I love it. I feel it added an Eastern/Asian look to the cover. Again I used the die cut elements that go with this paper for the divider tabs. One of the papers in the set has different journalling pictures so I cut them out and with the left over die cut elements added them to the dividers for added decoration. This time I've taken pics of the different dividers I made for him.
Each one has a pocket made with the contrasting papers. The dividers for this book are all two pieces of dp joined together.
The letters I used on the cover and my own cover are some that I've had for years. They are by Cloud 9 Design and are called Alpha Rain Dots. Goodness knows whether they even still are available. I used the white letters on my recipe book and for Michael's I used black letters. I thought I'd add a 'Leigh' touch by having the words go 'round the world' so to speak. Actually I'm much happier with this cover than I am with my own.
Thanks for visiting and hope you all have a happy day.
