I made large index cards (that fit in a file box) for my kids a few Christmases ago and they were all thrilled. If I were to do an album, I would probably go with the 5 1/2" x 8 1/2' binders and page protectors that you can get at Staples or Office Max. You can easily add or subtract pages and don't need specialty-size papers, since each page is half a sheet of standard 8 1/2" x 11" paper. A ream of cardstock would make pretty much as many pages as needed, and you could just add snippets of patterned papers or an embellishment here or there. I didn't decorate my cards at all (my kids aren't really into that - they just wanted the recipes), but you could certainly make them pretty with little effort.
