Scrapbook upcoming fall festivals with the Bind-it-all....

As we approach the fall season, all types of festivals begin in local communities. I attended the Apple Festival in Hendersonville, NC recently and couldn’t wait to put together this album inspired by my trip. I used all types of materials found from this trip: shopping bags, vintage findings and fabric bags from peanuts for the album pages. Here’s the supplies and instructions on how I created this album…

Materials:
Zutter 6” x 6” Clip-board Covers
Zutter Antique Silver 1” O’wire
Adhesive – Helmar Acid Free Glue, Liquid Scrap Dots and Quick Fix Adhesive Runner
Ink – ColorBox
Karen Foster Burlap Patter Papers
Making Memories Vintage Findings Kit – Paper, Ribbon, Hardware
Paper Reflections Corrugated Board
Personal Vintage Collection of Buttons & Lace
Prima Flowers
Tulle - Michaels
Xyron Leeza Gibbons Legacies Felt Lilly

Designer Instructions:
1. Cover the Zutter 6” x 6” Covers with a 6” x 6” burlap pattern paper on the front and back covers using Helmar Acid Free Adhesive.
2. Embellish the cover with a photograph, vintage findings, flowers and metal hardware using Helmar Acid Free Glue.
3. Print title on cardstock, trim and distress the edges with ink.
4. For album pages, trim to size: shopping bag with handles, fabric bag with ties, corrugated board.
5. Bind the album together using the Zutter Bind-it-all and the 1” Antique O’Wires.
6. I love ribbon and texture, so I tend to tie it on all my album spines.

Acrylic Organizer Stamp Album Kit - How Cool is This!

Thought I would share the 411 on one of the newest product kits in the Zutter family - the Acrylic Organizer Stamp Album Kit. How cool is this? It's an acrylic album you assemble yourself, that you use to store your clear and unmounted rubber stamps. This is a nice way to store your stamps...they cling to the acrylic pages easily - without any clumsy flaps or pockets - and the frosted plastic sheets between acrylic pages keeps the stamps from sticking to each other (without adding undue weight to the book). It's a handy 8X8" album size - perfect for toting to crops or just keeping on your desktop. The kit even comes with a Zutter Perfect Closure, so you can add a finishing touch to the book. And...the holes for the closure are pre-made! Easy! The book itself is not pre-punched, but it only takes a few minutes.

Check out these photos and the how-to video...and read the end of the blog.....

So are you ready for one of these? Leave a comment here and tell us how many stamps you have and why you need one of these kits! We will draw a random post on September 17 - which is the same day as the DT submission deadline - to receive one of these kits! This kit gets you punchy, bindy and stampy all at once! Perfect! Good Luck!

She Posts - She SCORES! I mean SCOR-IT!

The DT has been busy with Bind-it-All projects that incorporate the Scor-it board. It's a great tool to use with your BIA and all your other crafting needs.

Congrats to DONNA our lucky random poster #58 who is a now a proud owner of her own full size Scor-it board! Yippee!

Those fabulous Cover-Alls!

Cover Alls are one of the best ideas around! If you haven't tried them, you NEED to. If you have, then I'm sure you're nodding you head in agreement.

They are made for pages with out page protectors; in craft or white; with flat, curved or bamboo spines; in sizes 3x4,6x6, 7.5x5 and 8x8. And they are made for pages WITH page protectors; in white or black; with flat, curved or bamboo spines; in sizes 4x6, 8x8 and 12x12! Be sure and check the Bind It All Site for Owire sizes to use with your particular Cover-All.

These are incredibly strong and offer great protection for your precious memories.

I'd like to share an example with you on those wonderful Cover-Alls:

Bind It All 8x8 Album
Featuring Cover-All and Perfect Closure

Ever been involved with a circle journal? It's when a specific group of individuals get together. Each creates an album with a theme, instructions, set number of pages, and envelopes or pouches for information and ephemera. Each person created a two page layout, then sends the journal to the next person. In the end when you get yours back, everyone in your group will have completed a two pages layout and told you a little bit about themselves. It's fun and exposes you to new friends and new creative styles.

Well, I'm in a circle journal and created this album for it. It features a white Cover-All, 8x8 inner pages, rivets as well as Glimmer Mist and stamping.

Punch 14 holes in thirteen (13) Zutter 8x8 inner pages. Center pages to punch first six (6), then add an additional four (4) to each side of the initial six (6). Bind with Owire.

Use printer to print out information, journaling for first page. I printed mine on Fancy Pants Patterned Paper.

Stamp cover with butterfly stamps. Add acrylic butterflies and attach with rivets. Add Alpha stickers and decorate with Stickles. Set aside to dry.

Chalk edges of paper. Cover inside of front cover with patterned paper. Cover inside of back cover, over acrylic slip in. Create a pouch using 8 ½ x 11 white card stock. Use Scor It score 1 inch in on long sides of card stock. Then score 5 ½ inches up from bottom on short side. Fold in side and bottom tabs to create pouch. Adhere pouch to inside front cover. Embellish with patterned paper and ribbon.



Create and envelope with the Scor It and the same technique. Stamp butterflies on patterned paper. Embellish with patterned paper, flowers, stickles and journaling. Add eyelet and chipboard alpha as closure.



Cover last page with patterned paper.

Adhere to left side of left page. Embellish with flowers, chipboard alphas, punched butterflies, printed butterfly photos, acrylic butterflies, Stickles and Liquid Pearls.



And there you have it! The incredible, versatile, amazing Cover All! Hope you'll visit The Zutter Zisters for more Cover-All projects from the Design Team and from Zutter Fans around the World.
