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 :)

Feeling chipper?

Hello everyone. Nicole here. And today, I would like to share a fun tutorial on how you can use those chipboard pieces that you have lying around in your stash. I've had quite a few piece of chipboard that's been on my shelf for months until just recently, I though of a cool idea which involved using them and the fabulous Bind-it-All to create a fun, textured mini album.

First I covered each piece of chipboard with patterned paper (front and back).

Then I used the Bind-it-All to bind my mini together.

And here are a few pages from my album.

Supplies:

• Bind-It-All: Zutter
• Owires: Zutter

Other:

•  Glitz Design: Happy Travels Papers
• Glitz Design: Happy Travels Rhinestones
• Glitz Design: Sticker Alphas in brown.

Happy together

Hello! I hope all is well with you! Today I am just going to share a quick and easy mini album that I created for my sister. A few months ago, I came across some post about her relationship with her boyfriend and thought it was so touching so I wanted to create something that she will always have to remember these precious times. I hope she found her soulmate because it's not easy to find that special person you want to be with for the rest of your life and she is SO happy with Scott and I am truly happy for her.

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.

A Day Out

Hi there everyone! Are we all hyped up

on CHA?!!!

Are we all excited about Zutter's

cool new product?!!!!

I just bet we are!

Well, I for one can't wait to get

my crafty little fingers

on some that's for sure.

Until then we can still play

and come up with some great

creative ideas.

I call this one

A Day Out.

This project was actually inspired

by a day out. It was a day

that I got a chance to meet Jennifer Priest

for the first time and 

made some goodies with the

Bind-It-All 2.0!

I only had a chance to create the

base of this project

but brought it back home

to finish it up.

I couldn't let this project just sit.

Just a few little sweet accents

that reminds me of the fresh

outdoors. 

I wish I had a bike just

like this one. 

Wheels and all!

It sure was a beautiful day

that day and I really wanted

this project to reflect that.

Maybe we all can

get outside, breathe the fresh air,

take in a few sun rays,

and get inspired together!

Thank you for letting me share!

Double Binding Tutorial

Hello everyone!!! We have a super easy

tutorial for all of you today but with 

fantastic results.

It is called double binding.

All you need is your project that

you intend to bind, two sizes of Owire,

and your Bind-It-All tool.

First we will want to take the

smaller size of Owire first and bind it.

Like so.

Now we will simply take

our larger size of Owire and

overlap then bind.

Again like so and we

are done!!!

Easy right!

Here is my complete project in details

Pretty Little Things.

NOTE: The range of how your project pages turning

is determined by the smaller size of Owire. 

For example, I used 1/2" Owire for Pretty Little Things

Project. It is very limited to turning which is what I wanted for

this particular project.

The project below I used 3/4" Pink Owire

which allows for page turning.

The smaller the inside Owire the smaller

range of turn.

The larger the inside Owire

the larger the range of turning

your pages becomes.

I do hope that we all enjoyed this

little quick technique and will use it.

It is quite cool for giving a little more

depth to projects.

Thanks so much for allowing me to share!
