BBTB2 - National Hobby Month - Craft your Hobbies




Oh, it's good to get back to a routine and start crafting and creating again!!!  This week over at BBTB2 we have a challenge showcasing the fact that it is National Hobby Month.  Well, to say that crafting is a hobby of mine is a bit of an understatement, it's more of an addiction :) But I would say that cooking and baking is a hobby.  I don't love it like I do crafting, but I enjoy trying new dishes and continually perfecting the old ones. So for my project this week, I decided to do a mini album recipe book.  I have never done a mini before - I don't scrapbook - so it was fun to create one! I used the From My Kitchen cartridge for the tab pages and all the images.  I used my Zutter Bind-It-All to put the book together.  The pages are big enough to fit 3x5 recipe cards in the pockets.  The pages are cut from chipboard so it is thick enough and sturdy enough to hold up in my recipe book cupboard.  I hope that you will join us over at BBTB2 for our fun challenge this week and am anxious to see what all your other hobbies are!
Thanks for checkin' in!
