Welcome to the first day of the Creative Cuts & More Mega Recipe Blog Hop, which will feature the 8”x8” Treasured Family Recipes Kit. We have 24 designers who will be creating wonderful pages to inspire you. Plus we all will be sharing some of our own delicious treasured family recipes.Make sure you check back at The Diecut Diva Blog tomorrow for the Holiday Treats Apron Recipe Kit Blog Hop. We will also have 24 designers who will be showcasing their great creations and sharing holiday treat recipes.

As part of the celebration CC&M will be having a great sale. For the next six days, we will offer 20% off the entire store. But act quickly, it is only for six days – this sale will end on Nov 14th. Make sure you enter this code recipebloghop2009 during checkout.
As a continuing part of the celebration CC&M will of course give away great gifts. Each day we will give away one kit. Here is the twist – go through the blog hop, leave wonderful comments for the great designers. After you have finished the blog hop, return to The Diecut Diva Blog and instead of leaving a comment, you need to share a recipe to have a chance at winning the kit. Share the recipe on your blog and link it back and get another chance to win the kit. Help us also make this a great recipe swap.

This is the cover of the recipe book I created with the Treasured Family Recipes Kit.

The background paper is from Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird collection which is included in the kit along with all the darling die cuts and the letters. The only extras I added not in the kit are the May Art's gingham ribbon and the Nestabilities cut paper from the kit which I framed around the circle opening.

The die cuts all have sticky tape on the back so they stick right where they are put.

I wanted the *yummy* image to show through the circle opening so I lined up the front and first pages, adhered the yummy sentiment, and then designed the page around it.

This is the first page...we are starting out with breakfast. The oatmeal muffins will get your day started off heart healthy!!!

The only things not in the kit on this page include the ribbon, Nestabilities cut circle, and the scalloped edge made with a Martha Stewart Punch.

This is the second page....after the muffins we are going to enjoy a breakfast pizza. This is what I make for breakfast when we have company or for brunch with the family. It's filling and can be doctored up for everyones taste. The only things on this page not in the kit are the ribbon and the Nestabilities cut red cricle.

For the third page we are moving on to lunch. It's a quick salad easy to make and goes well with just about anything. The ribbon is the only thing on this page not in the kit.

Is everyone ready for supper?? You are going to love this hashbrown casserole....sooo good with all that cheese!! The extra things on this page not included in the kit are the ribbon and the top note cut papers. I ran the red top note through the cuttlebug with the Dotted Swiss folder for a little texture.

Are you ready for the main course? We are having BBQ meatballs...sooo easy to make and they taste good, too!! The ribbon, round Nestability cutout, and a punched borders using a Martha Stewart punch are not in the kit.

Now it's time for dessert....yummmmm!!! This cherry dessert will knock your socks off!!! The little blingy cherries are not in the kit. I can't believe how many wonderful dies, papers, borders, and papers are in this kit...I have enough left to make several more pages. I will be finishing the backs of these pages next week. This will make a great Christmas gift for someone special!!
