Flippin Recipes

I was busy last week--I finally finished my cousin's wedding present-- a cute recipe holder. When I went to CKC in Riverside I took a class from the good folks from Lickety Split Scrapbooking and couldn't bear to part with it. I had intended to make it for my cousin but instead bought a second kit so I could have one too!  :)  It is too dang cute!
Check these pics out!  The clear acrylic holder is from Clearly Scrap- the kit came with a 6x6, but I think an 8x8 would be great too! I used my Crop-o-dile to punch the holes-- I have the Big Bite and used it for the first kit but found that the handheld crop-o-dile worked better. 
After finishing this and the recipe books, I've come to the conclusion that I might be an ink-aholic.  I ink every edge!  These pics don't show it but seriously, I might have a problem with it... :) 
I'm definitely going to make more of these, but I do recommend making a counterweight so that it won't tip over once you load it with recipes (I loaded my cousin's with the family recipes I collected for my daughters' recipe books)-- I just took some leftover scrap fabric (from the darling aprons I made for the girls) and sewed a pouch and placed a bag of navy beans in there.  It keeps the recipe flipper from tipping.  :)
