Round Book

I am having a ball with my Bind It All...I used my Sizzix round die to cut this book...Its really not quite big enough...needed to be a smidgeon larger...but what the heck...I like it...I dont have any cds to cut yet...so I cut this from chipboard, then used collage look pattern papers and cardstock on the pages...

My luggage die cut makes a perfect Bind It All book...This was so fun to make...I will finish it later, but this is the base book for now...Stamps on cover are from www.innovativestampcreations.com Bind it All from www.bonniesbest.com Random scrapbook papers were used for covering the chipboard pages...

Paper Bag Book Finished

Well...for the most part anyway...I may add a tiny touch here or there...but this is it...Its the first one I have ever made...I am pleased with how it turned out...and I had a ball working on it...These are the detail pages...Close ups of embellishments I added to the pages...The leaf was cut from chipboard, painted white, then colored using a dye based ink pad, then coated with glossy accents, while wet, I added some Suze Beadazzles...The Sunflower was stamped and colored, then coated with crackle accents, then coated with brown distress ink, then sepia accents added to the flower center and Beadazzles added...The clear metal rimmed disc was glued over the hummingbird part of the photo using glossy accents...It was the perfect accent to make the hummingbird show up in the photo...

Alcohol ink playtime

I enjoy playing with my alcohol inks...and after some questions about coating chipboard and then using alcohol inks to color it...I played with some to see how it would turn out...I used my Cuttlebug dies to cut the chipboard shapes...then colored them with a thin coat of Adirondack acrylic paint...when dry, I coated them with a thin coat of Ranger Glossy Accents...after that dried, I applied the alcohol inks to color them...I love the way they turned out...I even used the Ranger Crackle Accents on the leaf die cut embellishment I made for my glossy cardstock, sticky notes book cover...after it was dry and then cracks formed, I rubbed distress ink on the leaf...and wiped off the excess with a paper towel...i will definately be making some of my own embellishments using these techniques...

Die Cut Frames

I played some today with my die cut frames...i cut one of each frame from white cardstock and one from a patterned paper...then using stamps from Innovative Stamp Creations and Ranger Inks...I decorated the white die cut frame...then tore the patterned paper frame and glued over the top of the cardstock frame...sponged the edges with ink and added a photo...So much fun to make and wouldn't these look great in your scrapbook or in a frame on your wall...
