Archery Notebook

Some of you may know that one of the things I enjoy with my family is archery. We all needed notebooks to record our sight adjustments for the various distances we shoot so I dug out my bind-it-all and nestabilities and made little notebooks for everyone with an archery target on the front...here's mine...

Flower Diary

For my Floral Friday post today I thought I would share my Flower Diary and remind you all about the challenge I'm hosting. The challenge is to alter a notebook and you can see all the details HERE!

As part of the Floral Design course I'm doing, I have been encourage to keep a flower diary...a place to record information about the flowers I'm working with for future reference. For this notebook I actually removed the front and back covers and replaced them with chipboard wood covers for more stability. I decorated them and used my Bind-it-All to punch the holes and put new binding on it. The finished notebook measures 10" x 7 1/4".

Owl Journal and Card

I have a couple of 'Owl' projects to share with you today...first is a journal I made with my Bind-it-all and this cute owl stamp from Unity.

Next is a card made with paper from the {Ippity} Winter 2010 Collection and the sentiment is from {Ippity}'s set Where You Should Be. I think this owl paper is very cute and so I wanted it to be the main feature of this card. You can't see it in the photo but the owl that I punched out from the front of the card is now on the inside of the card.

Bind-it-All Class Homework

As I mentioned a few days ago I've been taking a Bind-it-All class online at My Creative Classroom and thought I'd shave a few of the projects I've made. The first project for lessons one, two and three was to make this Punching and Binding guide which is a great resource to refer to when using the Bind-it-All. I've used it alot over the last few weeks. I'm not going to bore you with photos of every page of every project but just a few of some to give you an idea.

This next item is a mini scrapbook 6" x 6" which was not part of the class but I just wanted to punch something! :) I used a Simply Scrappin' kit from Stampin' Up which made the album quick and easy to put together. I left a place for the photographs or to journal so I can finish it at a later time or give it as a gift.

This next mini album which is 4" x 4" was lesson four in the class. The front is an acrylic cover and the back is wooden. It was fun making all the little different pockets and tags.

This 6" x 6" scrapbook was also part of lesson four. It uses a canvas cover which would be great to paint but I chose to ink around the edges and put a frame on the front which has an opening at the top to slip in a photograph. I used another Simply Scrappin kit from SU for this project. I won't bore you with lots of photos from the inside but we learnt some interesting ways to make pages for this project including a gate fold and a split page.

Lesson five showed us how to use the Zutter covers for our projects. The inside of this album is an organizer for twelve months with handmade envelopes in matching papers. I've kept the front and inside fairly plain until I decide what I want to do with this project. I inked around the edges of the chipboard cover before attaching the paper.

And lastly, we got a bonus project for lesson five and we made these cute 4" x 4" post-it note holders with acrylic covers. I think these will make great end-of-year teacher gifts!

This week is lesson six and is the last in this class. I'll post what we make when I'm finished and it's photographed. I've really enjoyed this class and may even sign up for the Bind-it-All Masterz class that starts soon.

Snail Journal

For the last few weeks I've been taking an online class at My Creative Classroom to learn how to better use my Bind-it-All....a neat little binding tool to make scrapbooks, notebooks, journals etc. I took a class last year at a local stamp store (which unfortunately has now gone out of business) that used the Bind-it-All to make a journal and have been wanting to make some more ever since. Next week I'll show you some of the things I've been making for homework but today's journal was the first 'real' thing I made after finally learning how to use the Bind-it-All. It's only 4" square with sketchbook quality blank pages on the inside. I couldn't resist this cute stamp and sentiment for the front of the journal.
