I type mine up and throw them in a three ring binder. In fact, the binder was something I purchased at a book store, and it's designed by Mary Englebright, so it's totally cute! But you don't need something fancy like that. Just type your recipes out on regular paper (or cute stationary, if you want) and throw it in a binder (again, the cuteness factor is up to you) and get some page dividers for each section: main dishes, appetizers, beverages, breakfasts, desserts, etc. I know that a full sized paper per recipe sound big, but I make mine two-sided. I have tons of room to write notes on as I change things over time, plus I use a big font so it's easy to read without hunching over to see the tiny tiny print on an index card.
Get page dividers that have a pocket, that way you can stick in loose recipes you tear from magazines or cards you haven't typed up yet in the appropriate place until you get around to it.
When I'm ready to cook, I take the recipe I want out of its section and put it in a page protector at the front of the binder. That way spills/drips (of which I always have a bunch) don't ruin the paper.
I love having all my recipes in one place! I even copy out recipes from my recipe books so I don't have to go find the original book and think to myself "Oh, where is the recipe for emmenthaler fondue, again?" It is so convenient to grab, and streamlined to use.
You can make it cute depending on how crafty you are. If you're not very crafty, just use pretty stationary to print recipes on, get a white binder with a clear plastic lining and insert a page you've created on your computer with "Recipes" on the front in a fun font with some design around it.
Sorry if this was long and rambling, or hard to understand. Hope it helps! Have fun.
