ATC Scrapbook with page protectors and bind it all binding

ATC Scrapbook cover, I used pattern paper and alpha stamps, for the title I used a stamp from Stampabilities, I got mine from http://www.hmstamps.com/
All inks used are Ranger...various round and scalloped round punches were used on some of the photos...

I made random shots of Hailey's face during my first visit with her...she had some cute expressions during that day...
I never did get to hear her cry...as soon as she woke up...the bottle was ready...so all she did was squirm a bit and wrinkle up her face...
This was the cutest shot...I had been holding her and handed her to Kelsey, her big sister...and as soon as she settled down, she folded her little hands together like that...and looked up...it looked just like she was praying...I could not resist the close up of her hands...
as she settled back down for another nap, I took another picture of that sweet little face...she is a little angel...I hope you enjoyed my ATC Scrapbook with page protectors, this is an original design by me...These are the neatest little books to make and share...I am keeping this one...but I made a quicky version to share with my son...I will post it next...To order the ATC Scrapbook Kit see http://thestudioinpreston.blogspot.com/

ATC Scrapbook with Page Protectors-Two page book

I love to photograph butterflies in my flower gardens...I have been wanting to get this little book made...and finally today got to make one...I had about 4 hours of studio time...and I made the best of it...This ATC Scrapbook with Page Protectors is only two pages...I only had 4 wallet sized photos to work with...I used the chipboard ATC's as the base of the book, then used my ATC size frames to showcase each butterfly in the photo...
I used stamps from Innovative Stamp Creations http://www.innovativestampcreations.com/ to decorate each frame...The flower and butterfly images Betsy designed were perfect to accent each frame...I chose bright spring colors for each frame...
This little ATC Scrapbook will be on my desk at work...so I can enjoy my butterflies anytime I want to see them...I have another book in the works...so maybe later this week I can get that one finished...For more info email me at debbiesdiecuts@yahoo.com To order kits to make your own ATC Scrapbook with Page Protectors check out my studio blog at http://thestudioinpreston.blogspot.com/

Original Design by Debbie Bankston-ATC Scrapbook with Page Protectors

I love making ATC's...That is why I designed my own Custom ATC die for cutting ATC's, ATC size frames and mini ATC's...I make lots of variations of mini books...and used to make an ATC accordian book to share photos with family...When I began working on this ATC book design back in August of 2007...I was thrilled with all the possibilities...I finally got to make the beach themed book in September...Things were so busy at work-my day job...I did not get to devote much time to this creation or another one I am working on...Finally my designer and good friend, Donalda Cox and I got some more books ready so I could share this with you...
The best thing about this mini scrapbook...is the ATC sleeves become page protectors...Yeah...by slipping them over the ATC's...so that the opening is at the bottom...Your pages are protected...This is a book in progress...I hope to finish it this weekend...I used an assortment of pattern papers, die cuts, punched shapes in this book...The layouts are great for sharing photos and more...
Slip the sleeve down over the finished ATC...Once its on there...it is made secure once you bind your book...
Remember the opening must be at the bottom...

ATC Scrapbook with Page Protectors-Original Design by Debbie Bankston of Debbie's Die Cuts

This was the first ATC Scrapbook I made...I used 4 chipboard ATC die cuts and trimmed my 8 photos to the ATC size to use on each ATC...I then used glue stick to attach each photo to the chipboard ATC...I let them cure out overnight, then with a emory board, I lightly sanded the edge of each photo on each side of the chipboard ATC's...
Once I had all the edges sanded...I just like that look...and it looks great...I used my label maker to add my journaling...since I was using full photos in this book...I didn't want to cover up too much of them...I added some various embellisments to some of the pages...flat backed buttons, etc...
The entire book tells a story from the two day trip to the beach...Sunrise, Sunset and some playtime is all shown...
Once I finished all the pages...Slip each ATC into a page protector, or ATC Sleeve, then I punched a hole in the top left corner of each page...Be sure you are finished with all your decorating before doing this step...You want to make sure each page and sleeve line up correctly...
I used a clear snap ring to bind my book...but you can use lots of other methods as well...I am working on one with my bind it all now...but don't have it finished yet...I added some fibers and ribbon, or as I like to call it "foo foo"... These books will be great to share with family, friends and more...Remember, You are only Limited by Your Imagination...so Imagine the Possibilities...

More ATC Scrapbooks-Altered Book Style

I had to make one of my ATC Scrapbooks in an Altered Style...This was perfect...I made this one for my hubby for Christmas...well, I started it around then...I gave it to him in January tho...LOL...My hubby loves wolves, we collect wolf stuff...He gets lots of ads in the mail for figurines, etc...so I use them in my altered art quite often...This one was a great ad to use...as it had small enough photos of all the stuff I was able to make this entire book using the ad...
I painted each chipboard ATC die cut with blue and green metallic paints...just kinda sponging the paints on...after the painted backgrounds were dry...I trimmed each section of the ad to fit the ATC size...then began gluing each page in place...


Adding the ATC sleeve page protectors will make this book a definate keepsake...now, he can handle it anytime and not worry about messing it up...He loves it too...

This is one of my favorites tho...My wonderful Designer and Friend, Donalda Cox made this Altered ATC Scrapbook for me...She used pattern paper and images from Innovative Stamp Creations...
Layering the die cuts and stamped images make this book so cool...the dimension can be felt thru the page, but its protected from becoming messed up in anyway...

Donalda added some Inchie art to this page too...Betsy's "inchie" sized images are great for this...
Stay tuned for lots more samples to come and a special offer on an ATC Scrapbook with Page Protectors Kit on my studio blog at http://thestudioinpreston.blogspot.com/ Be sure and check out http://www.innovativestampcreations.com/ for all the images used in Donalda's book...
