Digital Scrapbookers Recipe Book Gift

I am excited to announce our "gift giving" project for December.
I am asking that each person submit one favorite recipe.
I plan on posting the book on Christmas Day (or Christmas Eve) for everyone to share with their friends and family. (See below on how to embed and download.)
I want this to be open to everyone and I envision it to be a digital scrapbooking community wide collection of recipes, not just those who frequent Hummie's World. Therefore, please pass this onto your favorite designers.
For a video sharing how to submit the page, see this blog post.
The format of the recipe submission shall be as indicated in the above graphic.
For consistency, please make the background white and the background should be 8 x 8.
This should allow for free "minimal" advertising in the information that is provided below the recipe.
I will be uploading the gift book at Issuu (my account). It will be available for download too!
If you have not had an opportunity to check out Issuu, I encourage you to do so. I think you will be surprised at the reading material available in every topic imaginable. Just utilize the search box and see! I be you will find some familiar names in the digital scrapbooking world, as well as some popular magazines.
You can connect as friends and join groups as well, so there are social media aspects to Issuu.
Once you find a magazine you like, just click the "Subscribe to user" button and the next time an issue of that magazine comes out, it will be easy to find.
Here is a shot of an issue on my homepage by Carina Gardner. I am sure you will recognize this name in digital scrapbooking.Click and it will automatically zoom and follow your mouse as you read. Click on the arrows to the right or the left to turn the pages. To escape from any view, look for the "x."
At the top of every book are options to share, print, embed, download (if enabled by the person who uploaded the magazine) and comment.

PS! Since I grabbed these images last night, it appears that Issuu has changed the interface!
You will now find these images where you can share, print, embed, download, and comment.
Be sure to leave a comment if you enjoy a magazine as it encourages others to continue their good work. A comment is such a little thing that you can do that will make a big difference to someone else.
Here is an example of a book embeded in a blog post. Why not share your favorite magazines with others?

Imagine my surprise when I found this entry in my Google Alerts! I am completely flattered! Thanks for sharing my work!

Hummie, should the recipe layout itself be 8 X 8 or should we be making a white 8 X 8 that has our layout in it and the info below?
Make the white part 8 x 8!
Thanks for asking!
Do you want that file as a jpeg or acrobat file (pdf)?
Sounds like fun and I'd like to participate. Is there anyway you can post a "sample" page so that we can see what you are looking for.....I'm a very visual person and a picture does a lot for me.
Thanks!
