This is a heavy photo laden post (30 of them!) so grab a cup of brew and a snack! I decided to add content pages to my Family Recipe Album that you've seen in CC3C Worn Cover. The album now has a decorated inside and four content pages...Appetizers, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, and Desserts. Each page has old family photos on them with the Cabinet Card Pockets.
 |
| I trimmed down Kraft Paper from Ranger to the size of the pages that will go in the album. |
 |
| Tim's Binder Punch made the holes for the pages after I folded them over a bit to provide more sturdiness. |
 |
| Stenciling and inking came next. |
 |
| I added paper to the front followed by inking and Distress Spray Stain for a great worn look. |
 |
| The Wallflower Vellum Paper Stash providing great backgrounds for the Cabinet Card Pockets. I also used the new Vellum Ephemera. |
 |
| I used Alcohol Ink to alter some mini flatware to use as embellishments. |
 |
| Here is my last sheet of the Thanksgiving Recipe Cards from Tim's Seasonal Paper Stash. I LOVE this design. |
 |
| I didn't have any more photo paper, so I used regular paper, mounted it, and gave it a textured coating of Multi Matte Medium. I LOVE the texture it created! |
 |
| It was time to try Wendy's new Embossing Powder. I had to have pops of red of course, so I embossed the centers of the Foliage Flowers. |
 |
| The Inside Cover |
 |
| The Appetizers Content Page Featuring My Mother (You've seen this photo before in several other projects.) |
 |
| The Main Dishes Content Page Featuring My Grandmother In Law (The Baby) |
 |

 |
| The Desserts Content Page Featuring My Grandfather and Grandmother In Law |
 |
| The Back of Each Page to House More Photos |
I am very pleased with where this project is going and cannot wait to hand it over to my daughter. Stay tuned for more content added to it. I hope you play along with this challenge. It's so much fun to showcase photos, paper, and so much more.
