Nature notes notebook

Here is a little notebook I made last night.
I wanted a book to write notes on what u saw, where and what month for my photography so I can go back next year looking for similar birds or flowers etc.
I made the cover with patterned paper, the words on my cricut machine but drawn with the cricut gels pens rather than cut, and the birds are stamping up punches. I then laminated the covers and bound the pages using my bind-it-all. The month flower stamps and the lines are also Stampin up.

Free standing photo calendar

Here is another free standing calendar I made for xmas gifts this year. I used mostly photos I had taken and entered into camera club which I joined earlier in the year. I used the bind-it-all to bind the top and the cricut fancy frames cartridge for the back fold out stand....

Photo Calendars 2010

And another couple of designed added tonight....

Last year I made lots of calendars, which surprisingly sold very well.... I didn't make any for this year as I didn't have time, however, a couple of ladies at work have been asking for them. So here are 3 I made tonight. I decided not to do the stand up ones this time and have tried 3 other options.
My favourite is the one with the star paperclip.




This one would need to be pinned up on a wall and hangs with two months showing.....




This is my least favourite but good to hang up and pick up to use....

Sketch book

Here is a quick little sketch book I made today, it has 8 sketches. I used stampin up sets summer by the sea and seaside sketches and of course the very clever bind-it-all machine by Zutter.

Flower of the month - diary/birthday book

Here is the second book made using my new flower of the month set.
This book is a lot smaller than the first, about 3 3/4 inch x 5 inch.
Since it is smaller it was a little easier and quicker to make.

The covers are covered with patterned paper, spellbinder labels die with lovely saying stamp from Sense of time set. Flowers to top off from Eastern blooms.










The front page with the January flower for the month, Carnation





February - Voilet

















June - Rose

Water colour diary - flower of the month

I was so very excited when I saw this stampset for sale on trademe. Stampin ups flower of the month, must be from the U.S. I fell in love with it instantly and bid like crazy to win the auction.

I have made 2 books so far with this set, this is the first one, 5 inch x 5 inch and bound together using the bind-it-all.

I have covered the covers with patterned paper and used the lovely saying from SU sense of time set, on a spellbinders label die, and added a flower from SU playful petals set.







Here is the first page with the january flower, carnation. I have watercoloured the flowers and the lines are stamped from the Live your dream set.





October flower, marigold














April - sweet pea

Acrylic photo book - bind-it-all

Well I am going through the phase of wanting to 'bind-it-all'...

Here is an acrylic covered photo book..... All photos were taken by me and printed in Black and White. This book contains 12 photos from around Taranaki.

6" Photo album scrapbook - bind-it-all

I have been hoping to find time to play with my new bind-it-all machine...

Here is a photo album scrapbook, it's 6" square, covered with patterned paper (inside and outside covers), all corners are rounded with the bind-it-all heavy duty corner rounder.

Each page is decorated with stamps from Stampin Up's Natural Beauty set, on glossy cardstock then coloured.

The book contains 10 pages with 20 photos, all photographed by me, the photos are all of Pukekura Park here in New Plymouth.


Here is the front cover..





This is the inside cover and first page...










Here are a couple of pages from inside the book.....






And this is the back cover.


The little strap is a bind-it-all accessory, it comes in tan and you can colour it with markers....



I like this so much I think I'm gonna have to keep this one!

Photograph Book

Of course I just had to bind something with my new bind-it-all machine today...

This little album has 12 of my photos in it (all of Mt Taranaki/Egmont) .... could make a nice gift???

Watercolour Notebook

Well after buying a Zutter - Bind-it-all machine on Thurday, I just had to make a notebook so I could use my new machine to sprial bind etc... I have to say I am really impressed with this machine, can you believe it cuts through tin, thin wood, plastic etc and spiral binds with wire spines, how stylish!

So here are some photos of my watercolour scrapbook. I would love to be able to draw but can't.... This book is inspired by Beatrix Potter and the 'must see' movie Miss Potter.

There are 8 pages in this little book.

Could make nice little gifts....
