My Story Scrapbook Class by Patty Bennett ~ July 2009 ~  www.PattyStamps.com

My Story Scrapbook - part 1

This week I am teaching the "My Story" scrapbook class.  This is a spin off from the idea Jaron shared at Convention last year. 

We used the 3-ring On Board Chipboard album (#112456, pg 185) and covered it with paper from the Wright Stuff DSP pack (#115674, pg 163) (I used ModPodge per the instruction suggestion).  The "My Story" letters are cut out with the Big Shot and the GREAT new alphabet die set called Simple Letters on pg 198.  Above is my cover.

Here are a few of the covers from my students:

by Debbie McMillen:

by Nora Tryon:

and Gabriella turned her book the other direction.. SO clever!

Here is my first page.. I'll be sharing the rest of the pages with you during the week:

Supplies we used:

Wright Stuff DSP pack (#115674, pg 163), Cool Kids SS kit (#115699, pg 165)

Old Olive, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Ruby Red Cardstock.  Class participants also got a black journaling marker and got to use the retired rubons called Greatest Moments that were perfect for this book!

Stay tuned for more pages from my book later this week.

The Chocolate Book

EDITED TO ADD:  CLICK HERE for the .pdf file with instructions and text to make this project! Thanks, Suz for sharing! 

At my "Stamp a Rama" downline event last month, Suz Cole brought such a fun project for us to make!

A Chocolate Book!

 

This clever book holds 2 chocolate bars!  Yum!

Bella Rose Book Class

Wow.. this was an exciting project.. this was our New Year's Eve Class!!!  It took us over 4 hours, but we got the pages made and the book bound.  Our covers are still blank, but those can be decorated at home. I'm thinking of using one of the new Decor Elements stickers from Stampin' Up! for my cover!

I got this idea from my demonstrator friend, Jan McClurg.  She got it from Cathy Higgins. Thank you Cathy for allowing us to build on your idea and give it our own touches!

Info about the cover is at the end of this post.

All other supplies are from Stampin' Up!  Most pages are 8"x8".  Others are smaller or odd shapes. There are also envelopes/Carousel notes used here too, and shapes from the Big Shot dies.

 

  

     

     

     

 

   

 

  

 

 

 

    

   

   

This cover comes from Zutter and you bind your book pages to the plastic page, then slip the plastic page into the pocket in the back of the book.. very clever design! More info HERE. The book is bound with the Bind It All Machine and 1" coils.

  

I'm going to be working on my swaps for Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference over the next few days, so I hope to have some fun things to share with you soon!

Fabulous CD Folder Book Samples

We had such a GREAT time in class on Saturday making the CD Folder books .. I took photos of some of some of the finished projects using various Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers.  I absolutely fell in love with every one of the projects.. the Stampin' Up! papers are sooooooooooo yummy!!

 

 

 

 

   

These books are so fun to make!!  You can order a complete kit HERE or just the Instructions HERE.

Have a great day!

CD Folder Project video

The still photos of the CD Folder projects just don't do them justice, so I thought a short video was in order here... enjoy! These are sooooo fun to make and give, or fill with photos, journaling, notes, etc.!  You can order your kit with your choice of Stampin' Up! Designer Paper by using the PayPal ordering link in my post below.

Birthday Book for Sharon

I am really happy with the way this little birthday book came out for my friend Sharon. I used the Big Shot Scallop die, cut off a few of the scallops to have a "flat area" to put into my Bind It All, and I decorated it with Bella Rose DSP.  I added Pink Pirouette "scallop die pages" inside.  Sharon always makes me such wonderful, fun projects, I wanted to make her something really special.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

You can click on any image to see it larger..

   

 

EDITED TO ADD:  More info on the book...  I cut Pink Pirouette cardstock and the thin white chipboard sheets that come in the back of the packs of Stampin' Up! Designer Paper with the largest Scallop die in the Big Shot sales brochure, and for the cover I adhered the cardstock to each side of the thin cardboard.  The inner pages are just cardstock. 

Have a super fabulous Sunday!

Top Notes Die Cut Book

I was SO inspired by this idea from Lisa Somerville (here), that I had to try it:  a Top Notes Die Cut book!  Simply die cut all your Top Notes with the Stampin' Up! Big Shot, crop off about 1/2" from one side (with a paper cutter), then punch and bind them with your Bind It All!  

{{Edited to add:  I've had several questions about the Bind It All.. if you click HERE for one of my previous posts about the Bind It All, it will give you more info.  If you are thinking of buying one, I'd highly recommend Bonnie at www.BonniesBest.com  She is great to work with and has a great assortment of the wires as well as the machine. You can see all my Bind It All projects HERE.}}

Wow... the Big Shot and the Bind it All in one project... how heavenly! :)

 

I also die cut the white chipboard that comes in the back of the packs of Stampin' Up! designer paper and adhered (with Snail) a piece of Designer Paper to the front and back of each piece of chipboard for the front and back covers of the books.  The inside page of the book is 2 top note DSP die cuts snailed back to back.  (Lisa used cardstock for her inside pages, this would work just as well).

Here is a look at some of the inside pages:

 

(you can click on any photo to see it larger)

   

 

Have you guessed which Stampin' Up! Designer Paper this is?  It's my new favorite.. it's in the Celebrando Creatividad catalog (the Spanish version of our catalog) and the package is called Juntos.  You can view the catalog HERE, or I have a few of them if you'd like one. There are stamp sets in the Spanish version catalog that are not in the regular catalog either!  If you'd like to order a pack of Juntos (GREAT for fall projects) please let me know! It's $9.95 just like our other DSP.

ALSO.. be sure to check out Jenn's ADORABLE version of this type of book HERE! Too Cute!

And just so you can laugh along with me... (not AT me)... have you ever tried to fix a mistake and you made it worse...  maybe like THIS!!!!!!

 

That's what happened to one of my books when I put it in the Bind It All and didn't do it right.. ugh.. the book was ALL DECORATED, too!  :(  So.. then I made 2 more books and decided to punch them BEFORE I did all the stamping and embellshing.. smart cookie, huh? :)
 

More details on this project in a day or 2 .. have a great day!

Bella Rose Stampin' Up! Designer Papers.. I'm In Love!

OOOOOOOOOOH my goodness.... I am sooooooooo in love with these new designer papers from Stampin' Up!  This package will be available in the new catalog on August 11th.  Demonstrators could order it early.  It's right up my alley - with my love of roses and gardening!!  It's called Bella Rose!  I love it!

I spent my free time today making this booklet... it's the same type of booklet that I shared last week from Sharon (here).  This book uses CD folders - I used 2 in my project, Sharon used 3.  I've tried to take pix from many angles to help you see how it's put together.  I'll definitely be teaching this as a class with one of our new Simply Scrappin' Kits in August or Sept., and will offer it as a kit on my blog too!  It's an amazing book.. it is so fun to hold in your hands... it doesn't come across as well in the photos,.. but trust me.. this is a "must make" project!!  :)
