This kit is available in two sizes, one for 12x12 pocket pages (think Project Life) and the other for 8.5x11 albums. Read on:

{love} my organized recipes for 12x12 pocket pages

This digital kit has everything you will need not only to organize treasured recipes, but will also allow you to add photos of your culinary creations or those of family enjoying your famous pecan pie! In this digital kit you will receive:

16-12x12 clean patterned papers (no texture or distressing). 300dpi, jpg.

19-Recipe Section Titles: These are 4x6 and in vertical or horizontal format! Titles include: appetizers, beverages, breads & muffins, breakfasts, casseroles, cakes & cupcakes, cookies & candies, desserts, healthy snacks, kitchen crafts, meats, pies & pastries, poultry, pasta/rice & grains, sauces & marinades, side dishes, seafood, soups/salads & stews, and vegetarian. Nineteen seems like a lot, but you only use what you need! Want to only include a section in your album for "desserts"? Then don't use the section titles for "cakes & cupcakes" or "pies & pastries." See what I mean? You can customize the album to your needs!

Recipe cards: Three different sizes in four different colors. There are 4x6 cards in vertical AND horizontal format; an 8.5x11 card-for those super long recipes; and a 6x12 (squeal!). Also included are 4x6 vertical and horizontal lined cards for recipe notes or journaling in matching colors. 300dpi, jpg.

Menu Planner, Grocery List, Entertaining Menu and Conversion and Ingredient Substitution Chart. 300dpi, jpg format. I print several of the "Weekly Menus" and "Grocery Lists" at a time so I will always have them on hand!

46-3x4 Filler Cards (vertical and horizontal format): Cards to mark a recipe as a "Family Favorite," "Grandma's Recipe," or a simple illustration of a place setting, these are perfect to slip into one of the page protector pockets when needed!

46-4x6 Filler Cards (vertical and horizontal format): Included are cards with cooking quotes and "Delicious Moments" journaling cards (horizontal only).

"Recipe Keys" & "Family Favorite" 1.5" circles: Included in your kit are three 8.5x11 jpg files with 1.5-inch "Recipe Key" circles. Each circle has a term that can describe your recipe. (i.e. "low fat," gluten free," "high protein," etc.). Just use a 1.5" circle punch to punch out your circles and adhere them to your recipe card or page protector. Use the "family favorite" circles to mark which recipes in your collection you know are tried and true!

You will also need the following supplies to complete your album:

Matte Photo Paper

Pocket Page Protectors (I recommend Project Life Page Protectors by Becky Higgins)

1.5" circle punch

Corner Rounder

X-Acto Knife

Straight-edge Ruler

Adhesive (to attach your "recipe keys" or "family favorite" circles

Nineteen seems like a lot, but you only use what you need! Want to only include a section in your album for "desserts"? Then don't use the section titles for "cakes & cupcakes" or "pies & pastries."
