Ink the edges of various pieces of striped, green textured, light blue textured and burgundy textured papers, then glue them overlapping on the left and right sides of the album's front cover. Use the template to trace straight stitch penwork around each of the paper pieces.
2. Computer journal a recipe on ivory textured paper, then ink the edges. Glue the recipe to the album's front cover. Use the template to add zigzag penwork around the edges of the recipe.
3. Computer journal “My Favorite Recipes” on ivory gingham paper and crop to an oval shape. Ink the edges, mat on green textured paper and ink the mat edges. Punch a hole in the right end of the oval and run embroidery floss through. Sand the surface of the cookie jar Brad Buddy™ and loop the embroidery floss around the top of the cookie jar. Zot™ the cookie jar in the bottom right corner of the album's cover and glue the journaled tag in place.
