Hi everyone, Nancy here today to share with you a project I made with Back to School in mind.

I started with cutting some chipboard I had using my Cricut, and then cut matching patterned papers from the  School House Vintage kit from Hydrangea Hippo.

 Some quick binding with my Bind it All and Antique Brass O-wires.

 And my mini album was ready to be filled with buttons and bits.

 All I need now is a few photos of my children's friends to complete.

Hope you are having a great day.

Hugs.

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.

Spinning Round and Round

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you something a little different that I made with some of the super fun goodies from Zutter.  This month I decided to make something completely different with my chipboard, wires and bind-it-all.

I  started by cutting a piece of a chipboard cover into a tea cup shape with my Cricut and attached a closed one inch pink OWire that I had gently stretched to the lip of the cup.

 I closed a number of other pink OWires and attached them to the saucer of the cup,
 and then went crazy with the embellishments.

 This cute little mobile is what emerged.

I had so much fun with this and can't wait to share it with my niece.  It will be perfect for her room.

Supplies Used:

Bind a Holiday - and a Technique

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you a fun mini album I made with a super cute kit I picked up from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy store.  My family is heading off to Hawaii soon and I wanted to make a cute mini album to showcase a few of the photos I have yet to take.  LOL

I love these papers from Trinity Paper Arts and think they are just perfect for this project, especially after a quick trip through my Distrezz-it-All to get the lovely worn edges.

I love making small albums to showcase a few special photos, and my Bind-it-All is makes it quick and easy to get to the fun part (for me anyway), embellishing.

I really love the added opportunities working with o-wires brings to my minis.  For this book, not only did I attach lots of buttons, beads, ribbons and other baubles to the o-wires; but I changed the color of the white o-wires to match the project.

This was a simple process involving a few alcohol markers (Bic Mark-its) that coordinated with my papers...

and my o-wires.  I simply colored the o-wires with the markers and then allowed the wire time to dry before binding.

Here you can see a close up of my fully embellished o-wires.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs.

Feeling Beachy?

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you a fun mixed media wall hanging I made using my Zutter Bind-it-All, o-Wires, Canvas Artboard and lots of fun goodies from ClearSnap.

I love the texture and weight of the canvas art board.  It is the perfect weight for heavier items like these small shells.  I began these canvases by spritizing with a mixture of different colors of Smooch Spritz, allowing the colors to bleed into one another.  I then added a bit of gesso and finally a super cute embossed sun.  Did you know that Clearsnap makes scented embossing powders under the Color Box line?  This yellow smells like lemons.  So super fun on a project.

The Zutter canvas readily accepted the different mediums including inks, gesso, spray ink, stamps and embossing.

And the antique brass o-wires complimented my project perfectly.

I had a great time creating this wall hanging and I know you would have fun playing with the art board as well.

 Hugs.

Coffee Sleeves and Instagram

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you a project I made using some coffee sleeves and my favorite binding tool, the Bind-it-All.


I love using my phone to take photos and have taken bunches of shots using Instagram.  This small format was perfect for these low resolution photos.

I really put my Distrezz-it-All to work to create the shabby chic look I was after. Placing the papers over the coffee sleeves. And then binding with 1 inch Antique Brass O-Wires.

I used lots of different trims and flowers from the Hydrangea Hippo store to coordinate with my Prima Marketing papers.

The size of this album was just perfect for using up some scraps I had lying around from previous projects.

So, have you ever used the Distrezz-it-All?


Hugs.
