What's your number?

Hello ladies. Nicole here and today I have a fun tutorial for you. I am going to show you how to create a fun address/phone number book of your own. I'm thinking that this will make a great Christmas gift. Score! First cut 2 pieces of chipboard down to 4X4 and punch the top right and bottom right using your Round-it-All. Then use spray mist to alter the covers.
I found an address page on Maya Road's website and decided to resize the template to 4X4 and then I printed 50 4X4 address pages, front and back to use as my inserts. I cut 9 pieces of 4X4 patterned paper and then folded them in half to use as my dividers.Then I punched holes through each page.
After I punched each page, I fed the wire through each page and then used my Bind-it-All to bind the pages together.
Last, I decorated my cover and here's my final project. I love how it turned out.


  • Supplies:
  • Zutter: Bind-it-All
  • Zutter: 1" Owires in white
  • Zutter: Round-it-All
  • Other:
  • Clearsnap: Mist (Holly Berries)
  • Creative Memories patterned paper
  • May Arts: Flower ribbon in white and String
  • Jillibean Soup: Wooden Button

Junior memories book

Hello all. Nicole here. Where has the time gone? I can't believe it, but my baby sister is starting her Junior year of high school this month. Yikes. I feel so old. Last month while I was visiting my mom and sisters, Katie asked me if I ever made blank mini albums (which I never do), but I told her I could make here a few. In fact, I was really happy that she asked because the thing I love the most about scrapbooking is that I can make beautiful things for other people that are one of a kind. This month I had so much fun using some goodies from the Hydrangea Hippo Esty shop. Have you seen this shop? There are so many adorable trinkets, trims, jewels and so much more in this shop. You must check it out. This mini was a challenge for me since I am not used to creating minis without pictures but I think I did ok. And I think Katie's gonna love it :)

A coloring book for Edward

Hello everyone. Nicole here. Lately, it seems like all Edward wants to do is sit on my lap so that he can demand me to draw pictures of cars, turtles, mommy and daddy. The list goes on :) I actually love this. I think that I might have a little artist, so I'm doing everything that I can to encourage him to find his creative side.
Since my son loves to draw, I decided to create him a fun coloring book using my Bind-it-All and Clipboards. This was such a quick and easy project and Edward loves it! Go ahead and try creating one of your own. I bet your kids will love it too!
Supplies: Zutter: Bind-it-All Zutter: 6x6 Clipboard Wood Zutter: 1" Antique Brass Owires Other: American Crafts: Chipboard Alphas Clearsnap: Smooch (Mocha) Clearsnap: Mix'd Media Inx (Patina, Truffle) Clearsnap: Glue Gloss

In The City


Greeting to all today!
I take it that school is now in
session for everyone.
I just finished myself registering
and can't wait to get started.
With a little bit more extra time
for us crafters I am sure
we are making good use of
it with some extra creating.

Here is an album I created
titled In The City. Hubby
and I spend quite some time
out and about on the
bus to different places.
It is interesting to capture those
unplanned moments on
the move. This album
was born for such memories.
Enjoy!

Tea Party

Hi everyone, Nancy here today to share with you a mini album to go with the teacup mobile I made a couple of weeks ago.  (If you missed that project you can see it here.)  Once again, I used my Cricut to cut the chipboard and my cardstock; and used my trusty Bind-it-All to bring it all together.  I love that about my Bind-it-All...I can cut just about any shape and turn it into a mini album.  I chose to use one inch, white o-wires to hold this little book, which measures about 5 inches across the top, together.
I filled the mini album with lots of yummy papers and chipboard from the Daily Junque collection from Pink Paislee and a few odds and ends from my scrap table including Prima flowers, lace and trims; as well as some Basic Grey Canvas, a couple of older Autumn Leaves buttons, and a resin piece from Melissa Francess that I colored with some alcohol markers.



 

Here is a close up of the front cover which also has a large pink flower from the Hydrangea Hippo store. 
I was hoping to use this little mini for an upcoming party my daughter is hosting.  But she really wanted to use it now, so we filled it with photos from her third birthday party.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.
