You will see the different prizes each day on Emma's blog HERE! I hope we ALL inspire you this week!
For my last project I wanted to make a recipe card for friends. Every year I make English Toffee for gifts. This year I'm thinking of adding a recipe card with it. :)
I didn't have time to write out the recipe before I took the picture, I really wanted to take my time since I don't have the best handwriting :) However I feel it really important to hand write them, it's like your giving more of yourself that way.
I plan on adding a picture of the candy on the red mat, that way who gets this will know what they are making.
Wouldn't this be a great gift with a box of family favorite recipes! Handwritten and a picture of past holidays!
recipe:
My Creative Time
Extras
Echo Park pattern paper
Stampin' Up ink
gold stickles

I too think this is a super cute idea! Gosh you are so right about the handwriting keeping it personal and a treasure keepsake. I love the ways you used Miss Emma's goodies. You are truly always so clever and creative and thanks for all you do and for sharing.
What a great gift idea-I would love to see your recipe!

What a great idea, Liz! I love the mat for the picture too!
Great idea. I plan on making my daughter a recipe book with pics of all the different food. I've been taking pics of my cooking for a while now...all saved in a folder. I think the handwriting makes it more special too. Loved your projects all week!
This will be a wonderful addition to your English toffee gift.
Love your recipe card :)

That is a fantastic idea. The recipe card is really cute and having the recipe be handwritten is definitely very meaningful.

Recipe card - excellent idea, and with a recipe that's a favourite, definitely a 'keeper." Candy for the eyes; candy for the taste buds! LOVE this!

Great idea! I make Almond Mocha (I think they are cousins to your recipe) . The recipe is on a recipe card in my Aunts hand writing and I don't know what I treasure more the recipe or recipe card. My Aunt is no longer with us as are many of the kind friends relatives who took the time to hand write their recipes for me. To me it's as special as finding a hand written from that person but maybe with a few butter or chocolate stains lol. Thank you for all your wonderful projects and hard work for this week. Have a safe and happy holiday season.
Awesome idea to attach the recipe to your treat! I remember you posting it last year.....Bet it is a HUGE it!
Thanks for sharing Liz and have a GREAT weekend!!
Making recipe cards would be an awesome gift for my sister! Thanks for this cute idea.

Oh my goodness, what a great idea!! I've been wanting to make a recipe book with matching cards:) Thank you so much for sharing!
Cute recipe card!
I think this is an AWESOME idea. I have been saying for a while I wanted to make recipe boxes and my sisters and myself, so we can swap recipes. I absolutely agree that the recipes should be in handwriting. It's beautiful. Thank you for all the inspiration and fabulous ideas this week. Hugz:) Taylor
Making a collection of cards would be a huge undertaking! The new Get Schooled set is perfect for these cards. I don't like my handwriting and need to work on getting over that because the handwriting does make things more personal. Great job!

What a sweet idea to pass along recipes this way, so personal and I totally agree that handwriting the recipe makes this gift even more special. I still have my recipe box and handwritten recipes from my bridal shower from many years ago and I treasure it even more now.
Liz ~ CUTE idea to make up Family recipes/traditions for gifts! Especially you have a daughter who is getting married! I LOVE it and your handwriting is so nice~ I have seen it before! Beautiful idea and project!

This is really nice for a handwritten recipe, I think. So personal and pretty too. And I like how you showed the die in this way for sizing. Great inspiration.
It is a very great idea, thanks for sharing.
I love Emma's dies!
What a great idea I need to take the time and do this for my kids, All but, one of their grandparents are gone and special recipes would be one way for them to keep that link. thanks for sharing mindy1qc@msn.com
Clean and simple, gr8t job!
