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!
Hi Patty! What a Fantastic Project! I went to the Zutter site to check out these books and wanted to say Thank You so much for sharing this with us! I love that you bind to the plastic and slip it into the cover.. how clever!
… and your book is FAB-ulous! I wish that we had classes like that here, and on New Years Eve too … how FUN!
You are such an Inspiration! Happy New Year!
What a pretty book! Great thing to be doing on New Years Eve!!!

Patty,
What a fun book. I just love all the different sizes and shapes. Love the colors and dp you used. This had to be a fun class and I’m sure everyone had a BLAST!
Oh I wish I lived near you so that I could join your classes. This book looks absolutely wonderful. So much you can do with it. I don`t have a binder machine but I always think it would be fun to have. I have never even seen one in a store. Thanks for sharing this great project.
Hugs

Gorgeous!! If I still lived in Santa Barbara I’d sign up for your New Year’s camp! But I guess now that I’m in Michigan it would be a bit far! LOL! Beautiful as always! TFS and for the info on Zutter – I’ll have to check that out! Tracy in Michigan, crazyforsu@aol.com
Oh Patty – Thank you for sharing this idea. It is just such a nice project. I absolutely love it and will have to look into the specifics so that I may incorporate it into a class for 2009. Thank you – thank you for all your share.

Very cute and creative, Patty!!! What a great project. TFS! 🙂
Adorable…love all the vibrant colors and the Priceless set goes very well…I use that set all the time. What a cute and original album. 🙂
Hi Patty! This is gorgeous! What an awesome project!
I absolutely love your little book. I would love to learn how to make one. The colors are great together. And all the different things on each page.
WOW, Patty!! You’ve done it once again! AMAZING! I’m impressed that you all were able to make the book in ONLY 4 hours…you must have done quite a bit of prep work! FABULOUS! THanks so much for sharing! Erin Blair
Patty, this is absolutely amazing, as is everything you do! I am so excited to hear that you are going to leadership! I became a demo last March and I was able to make Senior Consultant (what we need in Canada) just in time to qualify to go! Don’t laugh if a babbling idiot introduces herself to you and acts all starstruck… it will be me:)
That book is just lovely!!! Great job!!
Love this book thanks for sharing! BTW, what does the front cover look like?
I like it very much!!
I am just back from my ski vacations so I wish you a happy new year now!
Patty,
I know I emailed you on this already but I do have another question, How did you make the front cover and back cover? are they a chipboard or cardstock folded? it looks like you slip the back page into the back cover thanks for being patient with me…smiles
