Nothing and then two come along together!!!!!

I hardly ever use my Bind-It-All machine even though I love seeing things made with it, I suppose the O wires are expensive so I don't experiment with it and need a clear design in my head.  Well I thought I'd make a couple of note books, quite small with some chipboard outers that I bought from the Artistic Stamper some while ago.

I really should have taken a photo of the inside as the paper is really pretty.  The out cover I did months ago and didn't know what to use it for.  Triple embosed with gold powder and stamped into when still hot, then I rubbed some Perfect Pearls into it, which gave it an interesting finish I think.

This one I painted with liquid acrylic colour, black embossed the image, painted the flowers and again rubbed in some Perfect Pearls.  I felt that it needed some other colour so punched the card all the way round and threaded the ribbon through.

Bind-It-All Book

My friend is always buying me craft items, she is a shopaholic and loves a bargain, so when I meet up with her she always hands me packs of paper and card and never wants paying for them. I decided to make her something to say thank you, it has thick plain white paper inside so she will either be able to use it for jotting notes or it is thick enough for a small photo album.

This is the front cover....
