Brown Paper Bag Recipe Card


Here's a clever way to recycle those brown paper bags into recipe cards! Open the bag at the seams and lay flat. Trace a sheet of printer paper to fit in your printer. It's OK if your brown paper is a little wrinkled, it adds character. If your paper bag has printing on one side, make sure you put the printed side up into your printer. Then print out your cards! You can cut another card the same size and glue them together to make your card more sturdy. I didn't with mine. You can google free recipe card templates and come up with lots of places. I got mine from the hp Creative Studio site. http://www.hp.com/hho/hp_create/cards-recipe_cards.html


Boy was it a crisp cool day today. It only got up to 60ยบ. At least it was sunny. We've had rain the last two days. Got out and did a little cleanup work in my yard and took some pics of my mums that are blooming. I have some white ones and purple that are just getting ready to bloom. Can hardly believe that it's October already! Where did summer go??? Didn't seem like we had one this year. Going to get out and plant some tulip bulbs this week that I got yesterday.

  2. Thanks for the great idea! I usually give yummy Christmas cookie recipes on stamped holiday cards to the first 30 buyers at my Christmas shows. I am going to do recipes on brown bags instead of the cards I usually use. They look so much more prim. Your flowers are very pretty!
