It is almost Valentine’s day and maybe you are thinking about making and sharing some Valentine cookies?
Or maybe you would like to make a whole recipe book and give it as a gift for Valentines day?
Or maybe you just want to preserve your own special holiday recipes and memories in a Valentine’s Recipe Book?
If so here is 3 Steps on how to do it:
Step 1: Get some digital scrapbooking supplies that can be made into a Recipe book or just print one page at a time to 
give away as a gift with your cookie plate. For example this scrapbooking kit (Sweet Valentine Digital Scrapbooking Quick Page Kit 2), is perfect for Valentine Recipe Books as some of the Quick Pages look like covers! Other pages in this kit have recipe cards to write the recipe down along with places to put photos of the recipes and photos of you making them or eating them!
Also this Kit is great because it comes in the 8.5×11” format that is standard US paper size so is easy to print using a home printer. And the best thing about this kit is that it is a Quick Page kit which means someone else has done the scrapping and all you have to do is add your photos, and recipes and you are done! Plus, this kit comes with bonus WordArt that has cooking phrases so you can put some of these on to finish off your Valentine Recipes!
Step 2: Decide if you are going to make a whole recipe book or just one page to accompany your Valentine goodies. If you are going to make a Valentine Recipe Book then you will want to make a cover scrap page and then scrap several of your favorite Valentine Recipes.
If you are going to only scrap a recipe page to go with your treats then take photos of the goodies and then scrap those photos and the recipe page. Include the recipe scrap page with the goodies so whoever gets your treats also gets the recipes too!
If you want to get started making a Valentine Recipe book but don’t have any recipes yet. You might want to try these recipes – remember to take lots of photos of you making the treats, and the finished ones too!

Step 3: Once you have all your goodies made and photos taken, and all of pages scrapped. It is time to print them out. If you use a kit like the Sweet Valentine Digital Scrapbooking Quick Page Kit 2 you can simply print them out on your home printer. You can also send them to a Online Printer like Snapfish.com to have them professionally print and bind your recipe book.
