Cover-All Love.....

One of my favorite Zutter products (and believe me....I have MANY favorites!) is the black Cover-All! It is so sleek and simple and it was just perfect for a mini album I wanted to make using only photos, some owires, and a white gel pen.

The black Cover-All is perfect for journaling directly onto the cover!! It's simple and yet very stunning! I love how this little album turned out and can't wait to give it to this adorable family!

I did use a bit of patterned paper and a piece of clear plastic but mostly this album is about the photos and the journaling so keeping it simple was my goal!  This black Cover-All is sized to go with the Pre-Punched Page Protectors, so unfortunately isn't part of the current 50% off sale on original Cover-Alls.  Zutter makes original Cover-Alls in white and craft, however, which would be great canvases for journaling with a dark or colored pen! Check out that sale, by the way, what a deal - Cover-Alls are definitely one of my faves!

Happy creating with Zutter!

A BIA Photobook for a Friend

I have a great scrappin' friend... she lives a couple of miles away from me, but we always meets a few times around the year.  I made this for her, and its empty now, but I´m going to fill it with pics of her and some pics of me, and all the scrapping fun we have made over the years!

Here you can see the inside. This is the clean, neat ½" white owire! Perfect for not so thick projects.  I constructed the album to have this cardstock fold-over cover.  It's simple to make and can be styled to suit any theme.

I´ve stamped a sentiment on the inside about friendship for her....which I really like, its so true!!  Why not make something for your special friend today with your Bind-it-All?

Soul Food - Music CD Holder

Do you love music? We do in our family! So at the request of my husband, who has become a great fan of the Bind-it-All, he requested a CD holder that can carry his favorite CDs in the car. As a result, this was created:

All you need to do is to create individual pockets for the number of CDs you want to have in this book. Here, I chose to include 10 sleeves, each made out of half a sheet of 12 x 12" patterned paper. Fold an edge of about 1cm on the bottom and on the right, before scoring the paper in half. See the rectangle marked on the right side? That's so that each CD can be pulled out easily from the envelope, after the rectangle has been cut.

Once this has been done, glue the two havles together on the folded edge. This is what you'll get:
Now run each CD sleeve through your BIA, before binding them together with your owires. Finally, embellish your Zutter Cover-All as you wish and there you have it, a personalized book to hold your CDs!

I hope you have loads of fun creating this and perhaps even making these as gifts for your loved ones! Afterall, music is soul food!

Fun CHA Photos!

me, Nana, Sarah and Kiki

The boss man would say that CHA is all about business (and, ok, it is....) BUT, for those of us working in the booth and making new friends, it's also about the long term friendships and bonding that this wonderful industry has provided us.  We do work hard, but at the end of the day and the end of the show, the memories and friendships live on....

Kiki Izurrategui from Kiki-Art was a dynamo in our booth this show.  We used her papers, fun tape and chipboard embellishments to create the Zutter make 'n takes. Here we are tearing down the booth on Thursday.  Tear-down takes minutes compared to setting up. :)

 We are lucky to have Zutter Zisters help out in the booth, and as at the Winter show in Anaheim, Sarah de Guzman was on hand for this one. Zister Pam Sandy was walking the floor, too, but WHY OH WHY did we never meet up???  Big sad face :(

And, here we all are again, only this time we corralled Mr. Zutter into some pictures.  He liked having all the silliness around the booth - as always (is there ever NOT any silliness???)

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello.....we have some big plans and lots to do now that the show is packed up! Thanks for the most awesome-est memories.

CHA Summer Day 2 - Kiki Art Make 'n Take

We had a great first day at the CHA Summer show in Chicago!  Wednesday we will be doing this  make 'n take with some of the beautiful papers from Kiki-Art.  This is a 3-panel 3X4 Zutter Clipboard Wood wall hanging, using the Hang-it-Alls, and Rivets.

These two paper lines are called Jardin and Water/Rain collection.  Fun, yes?  We will be using a variety of papers tomorrow.  But you get an idea.....

More fun stuff to come :)
