There is a story I've been meaning to tell for almost two years now about my daughter and cookbooks and it seemed to fit the bill.
*Note: The winter daylight here has distorted the colors of my layout a bit. In person they look much more like the challenge colors, really! 
In addition to recording a story and participating in a challenge, I got the chance to use my new Cricut Expression 2 and the CMTH Artbooking cartridge. In fact, I used only cardstock on this layout!
I am so glad I finally recorded this story. Thanks for the challenge and the inspiration!
So glad you recorded the story, Love the journalling and the Childs handwriting in the book. Fantastic story and the cookbook will be so fantastic to look back on with the handwriting on the recipes . Thank you for joining us at CMS and hope you join us again
