Gracie's first horseback ride

Mini books

Cute little mini books I made this weekend. Each book is about 5 1/2 inches and has ten blank pages. These are so fun to make!

Bind it All Card Organizer

For the base of the book, I used three Making Memories mini-book pocket page inserts. Each page pocket has a lined page for names, dates, events, and in a font fitting that month. Karen Foster calendar papers, Basic Grey rubons and Stickles glitter glue by Ranger Industries. Put it all together with the Bind it All and you have a fabulous card organizer! This one is a Christmas gift for my MIL.

Another Bind-it-All CD book

Papers and stickers I used for this are Rusty Pickle's Pirate Princess line. I made this set for Grace. As it turns out, she has a pink skull and crossbones backpack for school as she is "in the mood for punk this year" she informed her big brother. LOL So, I changed the intro page in the first book I made and will give that one to Olivia. I've added some bling to the first set too.

The pictures just don't do this one justice. The rubons don't show well in places, nor does the blingage. In person it's totally adorable! Besides Heidi Swapp jewels, I also used pink Stickles to add bits of glitter which really rounded out the look I wanted. Rubons are Basic Grey Wholly Cow, which I totally love.

I removed the bookmark from the sleeve just for the picture so I wouldn't get as much glare.

The backpack tag turned out so cute too. She's going to love these!!

My newest favorite toy!

If you haven't seen or heard about the Zutter Bind-it-All, crawl out from under that rock and start googling! This fabulous little booger is so much fun and so easy to use! My head is so full of ideas for new and fun projects I have to write them down as I can't work fast enough! LOL

This was my first BIA book. Magnetic sheets by Avery, cut to size, hold my QuicKutz Cookie Cutter die shapes.

For this little book, I had dh slice off the edges of two CDs on his scroll saw. I covered each with paper then punched with the Bind-it-All for the covers. Inside pages are just circles cut from cardstock and printed on the computer. If you are concerned about the center hole of the CD, just cut a circle of chipboard to fill the hole before covering with pattern papers.
