My thought process behind this album was to create a sort of heritage recipe album. But as I was working on it and thinking about ways it could be used, this thought came to me. So many people take photos of their food plates when dining either at home or out in a restaurant. Wouldn't this be a fun way to catalog your favorite fine dining locations?
And, it would make a great gift for the new bride.
I made similar albums for each of my children when they moved into their first homes so that they would have all their favorite recipes from home. Any way that you decide to use it, prepare to have fun!
Bon Appetit HeARTfelt Journal Snapguide Tutorial
I've prepared a Snapguide Tutorial to guide you through the process of assembling the album, preparing the signatures and decorating the album cover. I hope you enjoy!
YouTube Video Tour
I find it very hard to capture a project like this in still photos. To remedy that, I've prepared a 15 minute YouTube Video tour of the album. You'll find lots of ideas for way to add interactive elements like pockets, tags, flip pages, and fold outs to your album. I also go over the basics of putting the album together. I hope you enjoy!
I hope I've shared some tips and tricks that you can use in your own crafty adventures. Enjoy your weekend, break out your paper pretties and get your craft on!
Cheerio,
kathy
