Bind it all goodies.

Yesterday I made a Baby word book with October Afternoon Ducks in a Row. I cut a template out on the Cricut using Plantin Schoolbook on some spare card so that I could then hand cut the chipboard being that the Deep Cut Blade for the Cricut doesn't like the chipboard that we use in the UK.......an useless buy !
The book is full of different little baby quotes so it could be used instead of a card for a new baby.



I was intending to finish my Baby Girl Book today being that the postman was so good one day last week in leaving my parcel from Craft Obsessions (with the Cover All for the BIA inside) behind the large flower pot and didn't bother to put a note through the door!!! You've guessed it, I didn't find it until today. Good job we've had dry weather here this last week.
I was all ready to go when I discovered I didn't have enough paper to cover it in the way I wanted to....... so another order went off for some more Little Yellow Bicycle patterned paper. I also discovered that I didn't have the right coloured bazzill to make the pages in the little boy album, so they're on their way too !

So being that I had not been very well organized I decided to do a table top address book with Basic Grey Sugar Sweet. I was really pleased with how it came out. The pages inside are made in Excel. Not sure how I managed that really as I've not done much in excel but I managed somehow! The size is approx 5 by 7.




with a box to put it in !

A few more goods for my next Craft Fayre !

I haven't had the Bind it All out for months and it was starting to feel a bit neglected ! I decided that I would make a telephone book for the Craft Fayre that's coming up in a couple of weeks time. I've made a couple of these before so it wasn't too daunting a task. I had some paper left over ( Basic Grey Boxer )so I thought I would make a cover for a post it note to match. Someone might want to buy both....I hope !
While I was at it I made a few " Just a Note" cards too.

I've also finished all the pages for the Girl Baby Album but I have to wait until tomorrow to get the covers done as I'm going to try, for the first time the "cover all" covers from Zutter. I've still got the Baby Boy to make though.

Busy Busy Busy !

Just a quick up date. Can't believe how quick this week has gone.
I've got another Spring Fayre to do in a couple of weeks and the stall looked a bit empty of bits other than cards last Saturday, so I thought I would get a few things done. Here's the first. Its a chipboard mini heart book that could be used as a modern day horseshoe for a bride on her wedding day.
