I am posting a copy of the recipe binder cover I made myself. It is so adorably kitchy, I am in love.

(darn you, blogger, why are you inverting my colors when I upload??? ...ohwait, probably because the image is 9"x11" - and at like 200dpi. hmm. let's scale it down and try again. theeeeere we go.)


I took it to work to print up a copy (yes I paid for it ;p), because work has much better printers than I do, and could also print it larger than 8 1/2 x 11. The swirly bits, I drew myself, everything else is stock patterns and brushes. (Though I did "arrange" the flowers in the corner, hee.) I wanted a sort of scrapbooky look to it, but - as always - a little bit old, too. I went all sorts of directions, but decided to keep it a bit pared down in the end.

I also wanted it lemon yellow and swedish blue, since those are the colors my kitchen is going to be someday. 0:)
