I love your layout and think this would be a great idea for a cookbook of your favorite family recipes! I love the photo and recipe tucked into the ribbon on the side and I love the little baking ellies cluster! Also, thank you so much for sharing the recipe! That was so sweet and thoughtful!

What a beautiful and festive page! I love the plaid papers and I really love the nutcrackers! I used to collect them for our son. For years I collected them and then I found out he didn't even like them! Ha!ha! Needless to say, I love nutcrackers but I guess he doesn't! :). You made a fantastic page but I am soooo sorry to hear your printer blew up! I'm hoping you are able to get a new one soon!

I love how you took this sketch and made it your own! Your beautiful photo looks fantastic tucked beneath the two ribbons! I also love the pretty polka dot paper stacked on top of the festive holly print paper. They are the perfect backdrop for your amazing photo. Your gorgeous cluster with the ornaments is the perfect accent for your photo!
