Create a Bind-it-All project of any kind (mini book, décor, altered item, even a layout!) – you just have to use the BIA in some way….the theme is Spring! Use springtime colors, events, or just something that feels "springy" to you. Leave a comment on this blog post with a link to a photo of your project. Your comment should mention how you used the BIA. Nothing too technical, just mention, “used baby blue owire” or something like that. The Zutter Zisters DT will pick their favorite and we will have an April Springtime Challenge Goddess!
But instead of a tiara and scepter, our winner will receive their choice of either the R5 Blue or R10 Pink Round-it-All shipped to their door! Yippee! We will also post the selected project on the blog and gush over it. Lots of bragging opportunities up for grabs here!
Challenge begins today and the last comments posted by April 17 – that’s a Friday. Our DT will huddle and make their selection by 4/24. At that time, we will have another challenge for May! Sound fun? Hope so! Let’s see what you’ve got!
To get you started on some inspiration, here is a little – and I mean little - mini book I made using 2” X 2” chipboard! It was a great way to use those little index prints I have piling up. I made a book celebrating my daughter’s sweetness…and it fits in the palm of my hand! I felt like I needed to put a penny in the picture to show how small it is! Think of all the little bits and pieces you could use for small projects like this! I used scraps of paper (of course) but also pieces of transparencies, ribbon scraps and random flowers and embellishements that weren't enough for larger projects. Give it a try with your scraps!
Hope you'll join in and ..... Happy SPRING!

I have a question about this challenge...does St. Patrick's Day count as a spring-time event? I took a lot of pictures at our local parade and planned a mini-album. If it counts, I'll be more than happy to submit it! Thank you!
yes, anything "Springy" in your opinion may count. we aren't strict about the actual time of the event :)
I just got my BIA and have so many ideas..... one is an address book I made. You can see it on my Blog at www.redrediris.blogspot.com
I luv the mini u posted and I cant wait to receive inspiration from everyone else during this contest !

Oh-so-cute mini, Nan! I love it. =)
Spring brings a renewed sense of purpose. I made a mini book about me. It has where my life is right now, changes I am going through and the hopes and dreams that this new growth time of year brings.
I have used my brand new Bind-it-all V2 and baby pink owires.
You can find it here An Altered Life Thanks!

I also have a question - I made an address book that is totally spring colors. I don't have a blog so how would I post? Thanks and I LOVE my BIA! I am addicted to making address books!

To me, spring is all about new growth! Created this wall hanging to remind me how I'd like my home and family to grow. I used my BIA to create a frame around this altered chipboard, using red coils. TFL!

I am going to give you the link to my blog. Unfortunately, you may have to scroll down a bit to get to my mini album. I did it as a gift, but used nice bright colors for the paper. Also, I used the Zutter and o-wires to bind it. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
