Materials:
A5 Two Ring Binder (with clear pocket insert on front cover and spine)
1 sheet of patterned A4 paper
2 sheets of co ordinating textured card
1 Bindermate Clear Case with zip
Using your computer and printer, print out a title for the front and spine of your binder. Also print out labels for the sections of your folder. I used “Menus” and “Vouchers” as my labels. You may choose to have a different section for each type of cuisine (Asian, Italian, Greek, Fast Food, cafes etc) – we are not that sophisticated and usually get Take Away pizza or Asian!
Next, mount your labels/titles on pieces of card. Then assemble a cover and spine insert using patterned paper and plain card, and your favourite scrapbooking techniques.
Next, cut a piece of A4 card in two, label it, and punch holes in it to make file dividers.

I think your house is so gorgeously organised that it would make Martha Stewart look bad 🙂 This is yet another fantastic idea!
I’ve been meaning to make something like this since I saw something similar at Kikki K for $40!
I saw this idea at Kikki K too…but didn’t think of scrapping my own! Yours looks just gorgeous, and I love how you’ve personalised it to suit your tastes in take-away 🙂
Another great idea.Keep them coming 🙂 Barb.
wow,lisa! you are soooo super organised! you are gonna give Martha a run for her money. 😉
i do wish i have your organising skills too.
That’s a great idea. I can never find a takeaway menu when I need one!
That’s a fantastic idea. You always come up with the best ideas. Very simple and very clever.
love the colours you have used…
looks fantastic and a great idea!!!
Another terrific idea. Love how you take “ordinary” and make it beautiful!
Very pretty Lisa — and a wonderful idea!
Great idea. I have my menus scattered all over the house!
You have fabulous ideas! Thanks for being so generous with them.
what a great idea! our menus (all shoved in the back of our junk drawer) could use this!!
Wow, what a great idea, I love this! I’ll be linking.
you are so clever!!!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I think it would make me order less take away food as I would be too busy admiring the folder to order anything!!!
So cute and clever! And I love that red butterfly paper- who designed it?
What a wonderful idea.
I saw this project on One Pretty Thing and thought I’d pop over to read more about it. Thanks for sharing this great idea. I see there’s lots more to discover on your blog, so I’ve got quite a bit of reading to do.
Cute idea. I think I’ll try this!
What a great idea, just what I need at the moment. Might have to make one myself. thanks for the inspiration.
That put a smile on my face if you could only see the draw all our menus and vouchers are in.
would love to have a use for one of those folders but we practically never get to have takeaway…….one advantage/disadvantage of living out of town……..but having spent the weekend in a city I became the takeaway queen……..
I love this idea!
What a great way to use up some scrap paper or I am thinking even some fabric. Great idea, thanks for the inspiration!!
Where do you get this folder from before you add your designs to it?
Where do you get the clear folder from?
