Lately I've had a lot of fun scrapbooking recipes. I published an article about bananas yesterday and someone who read it sent me an e-mail with another bunch of banana facts. That page had the picture of the banana you see on this one.
Using Photoshop, I enlarged the picture to fit an 8x11 page and then printed it out on photo grade paper, trimmed it a bit and placed it on the green background paper to 'frame' it then copied the recipe to an e-mail sent to myself, cut and pasted.
I also looked for the lyrics of the song "Yes, we have no bananas" and found it with the sheet music on-line...just copied the last line and added it to the scrapped page.
I like this new hobby but don't want to get carried away with expensive embellishements, so I tend to make my own.

I did one with the recipe for the Habanero Chile Mango Ice Cream (the recipe can be found by searching thorugh my Gather page) and I added a pocket to the page to hold a CD music version of Hot Hot Hot! and also added a tiny plastic baggie of Habanero seeds held with a tiny colorful wooden clothespin (I bought the clothespin at a scrapbooking store, but the CD blanks I already had and of course, the seeds came from habaneros growing in my yard) - this scrap page was part of a scrap recipe swap I joined. I had to make 5 of the same page.
Thank you William! I'm trying to learn to do some things with Photoshop and projects like this give me a chance to experiment.
The other scrap page I made with the chile pepper embroidery frame is another I played with to enlarge from a 5x7 size to a full page...
