WHAT IS A PROJECT RECIPE?
Whereas sketches are "blueprints" for creating pages, Project Recipes are a "guide" that take you step-by-step from start to finish with just a few sheets of designer paper and cardstock that allow you to create a beautiful double-page spread in minutes!
On each page you will find:
• Ingredients: These are what WE used in the sample layout, but you can use ANY collection or cardstock you wish!
• Instructions: You'll want to read through each step of the instructions before starting with Step 1.
• Cutting Guide for each piece: includes a measurement and is labeled. Note: Anytime you see a gray box with diagonal lines, that means it's extra paper after you've made the cuts.
• Placement guide showing where to put each of the cut pieces.
• Reference of the completed double-page spread.
You don’t have to follow the recipe exactly! Feel free to take liberties with your spreads — change the orientation of the layouts and/or photos. Add or exclude any portions as you'd like to make it entirely yours.
New Project Recipes are added to our collection every month! Ask your Advisor!
