How to make Farm House Kitchen Recipe Book

The Farm House Kitchen Recipe Book

was made using papers and embellishments from Canvas Corp Brands Farm House Kitchen line.

This recipe book is a fairly easy but  still detailed, I’ve included lots of photos and instructions

so you can make one for yourself.  If you have any questions on the project please leave them in
