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.

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.

My Favorite Recipes

Hi everyone, Nancy Keslin here today to share with you a project I made using my Zutter Bind-it-All, some cute Melissa Frances supplies and my Zutter Display-it-All.


I was so thrilled when I ran across this cute little kit at the Scrapbook Expo, covers and insert pages for a fun, kitschy, recipe album.  I knew it would match my kitchen and with a little help from my Bind-it-All I made a simple book to hold some of my families favorite recipes.

White 1-inch O-wires hold my little book together.  And bits of lace, trim, sequins, (from the Hydrangea Hippo store) and a few Prima flowers, as well as a bit of stickles, complete the covers that I rounded with my Zutter Round-it-All.

I painted my Display-it-All with an off white crackle finish so that it would coordinate with my kitchen, adding more flowers and a cute little doll tea pot I had from my daughter's younger days to embellish the base.

I really love how the Display-it-All keeps my recipes within easy eye site and up off my prep surface.

Now all I need to do is get in there and cook.

Thanks for stopping by the Bind-it-All blog today and be sure and come back soon.
