Make a Digital Summer Cookbook

June 5th, 2010

Make a summer recipe book! With summer comes great BBQs, cookouts, and picnics – all with great summer foods. This year save the recipes and email them to all your family and friends!

Here is how to do it!

Step 1: Get the recipes. pick the recipes from your summer picnics, BBQs or backyard cookouts and get them ready to transfer to digital scrapbooking pages.

Step 2: Get Digital Scrapbooking Supplies. I like using the Summer Cookout Album Quick Page Kit (8.5×11”), because it has pre-designed  scrapbooking pages with recipe and Buy a scrap kit that makes it easy to make a recipe book!notes right in the design. And, because the set is a Quick Page Kit  all the work is basically done -  all I have to do is add my photos, recipes and a few included WordArt phrases and I am done with the scrapbooking part!

REALLY, it is that easy!

This kit is also good as it comes in standard US paper size which makes printing and putting in a binder easier!

Step 3: Scrap my digital scrapbooking recipe pages. It is easy to make digital scrapbooking pages using Photoshop.  I just bring my digital photos, the Quick Page, WordArt into Photoshop, and type a few words to personalize, add my recipe, and I am ready to make the next recipe page!

If you like you can use Photoshop Elements to do the same thing!

If you are new to digital scrapbooking and would like to know more about Photoshop versus Photoshop Elements then see this article!

After I have made my digital scrapbooking recipe pages in either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, I can save them and turn them into a digital PDF album! This will make it so easy to email to family and friends!

Step 4: Turn my scrap pages into a Digital Scrapbooking Recipe Book in PDF format and email to family and friends.  It will save me money on printing, shipping boxes, and postage when I turn my digital scrapbooking recipe book into a PDF album and email it to friends and family.

Note: I have my view turned on to 2-page viewing – but you could set it to see only one page at a time, or two pages at time. Also you can have many more pages in your digital recipe book – which is great so you can include all the fun summer recipes and photos too!

These pages were easy and fast to make and now I plan to send this Summer Cookout Recipe Book to my family and friends!  I think everyone will enjoy it! And who knows maybe they will even try some of the recipes!
