Bind-it-all Projects

Mini books for Grace and Olivia to take to school for autographs, phone numbers, pics of their friends, or whatever. For these books I used those fake credit cards that come in junk mail. Run through the xyron, cover both sides with pattern paper then decorate if you want. They're very sturdy and could be clipped to a backpack. Aren't they cute! The girls are going to love them. :)

This school bus book was especially fun. I cut this one on the Cricut Expression using the Doodlecharms Cartridge. Cover is 5 inches; pages are slightly smaller; bound with 5/8" owires.

Vinyl project in progress

Oh my gosh. If you haven't used the vinyl yet, get on it. I love this stuff!! I've use it in the Silhouette, the Revolution and the Cricut Expression.

For this project, I used Holly's Cricut (she INSISTED she leave it at my house while she was out of town for her sister's wedding). I really had no interest in it and didn't think I'd really like it all that much. Well, let me tell you, I have changed my mind. It's awesome and I might have to ask her about a rental plan so I can borrow it occasionally! LOL

This is not a finished project, but here's what I have so far in the kitchen up along the beam. I have 12 inches to play with so it was fun making super big cuts. Is this cool, or what??? 'Delicious' and mug are 8 inches high!! These images are from "Graphically Speaking".

BIG CONGRATS....

to my friend, Lea Millora Sanders, who made the first-ever Bind-it-All Design Team!!!! If you haven't seen her work you are missing out on some fabulous projects. You can meet her over on the BIA Blog and check out some of her beautiful work on her own blog!

CONGRATULATIONS, GIRLFRIEND!!!! I'm so proud of you!

First Day Jitters

Gracie's first day of Kindergarten. She was so excited about finally starting school and could hardly wait to have homework! Title here is Roxy plus shadows, and Abigail Grand. Also used the cc school shapes, Rev index tab, bottlecaps set, and Archiver's exclusive filmstrip border die. The apple for the shaker was cut with the Cricut. Papers and cc shapes from the School Days Quickitz by Scrapbuggy.


These itty bitty shapes are the perfect size for lining up to make a border...

.....or cutting from shrink plastic and making shaker filler! Are these cute, or what?? Shrinking will reduce your shapes to about 1/3 the original size. Remember to color or punch before shrinking.

School Days QuicKitz from Scrapbuggy

This kit is such fun to work with. I love the cute school papers and the school shapes cookie cutter dies are adorable. Here I've used the shortkutz die (school days), apple, scissors, pencil and schoolhouse along with this month's QK Club star tag die and the bottlecaps set. The school bus border is by Cricut.
