My Creative Time Design Team Day

Note: Scroll down to see my Scrapping Cottage project for today also! 

Welcome to Thursday! Today's MCT project was to use the June release Inspiring Words, incorporated with the colors of red, white and blue.

Here's what I created!

I love making mini books. This one is a recycle idea I started making several years ago using junk mail. I hate throwing things away that can be re-purposed {Do not believe NikkiF--I'm not a hoarder or a packrat!!! LOL}.

This book started out like this. Throw-away gift cards, coupons and fake credit cards are the perfect size "page" for wallet sized photos. I used my Bind-it-All to -- well, bind it all. Haha!

I made this little book for Miss Grace, my scrapping buddy and granddaughter, who will stay with us this summer. She loves celebrating the 4th of July and I'm sure she'll have no problem finding pictures to go inside. Here are some of the inside pages using the Inspiring Words and Inspiring Accents stamp sets:

....and this page...

This quote is from the Encouraging Quotes set, also new this release.

I hope you enjoyed this project. If you haven't made one of these yet, please try it! They are so much fun and really make a great little "grandma's brag book", purse sized address book, photo album or anything else you want to put in there. You don't need a Bind it All or any binding machine to make one. You can use your Crop-o-dile to punch holes and bind with rings or ribbon. Really simple and fun! Thanks for looking. :)
