Sweet Souvenir

Phew, it's almost Friday! It's been a crazy long and hectic week. ONLY TWO MORE DAYS! Ok, here's a quick 'lil notebook. The notebook itself is a junior legal pad. I bought the generic Staples brand (without the lines!). The Staples copy center will cut the books in half. They charge per cut, so have them stack up the pads to minimize the number of cuts. Each pad is different, but it's really easy to come up with the dimensions. Remember if you intend the ribbon to be tied and untied and tied and untied, to leave the ribbon LONGER than you think (you'll thank me later!).

Thanks for stopping by!

A Recipe Book!

I have very important news regarding the Big Shot Starter Kit. The KIT you find in your current idea book (page 193) will not be offered in the new catalog. The Big Shot and the dies will be available in the new catalog, however, it will be A LA CARTE. There IS a savings if you purchase the KIT as opposed to purchasing all the pieces individually. However, if there's a die from the kit you'd rather do without, you now have that option. Does that make sense? If the starter kit was on your wishlist - you only have until June 30th to purchase it. Everything will be available in the new catalog.

Here's a little recipe book I made for a bride-to-be for a shower I attended this weekend. I used the Bella Blue DSP paper. If you don't own this paper, you need it! It's simple and elegant and perfect. I'll show you the card I made later in the week (wink, wink). And I have a shower invite to show you too - so keep coming back!
I printed recipes on 3"x5" cards, but I left a 1" left margin for the binding. I used naked chipboard for the front and back covers. I used my Bind-It-All to close the book. Dividers were stamped and colored, punched out using the 1" circle punch, matted on 1-1/4" circle. The "R" on the cover was a homemade chipboard letter and the remaining letters were punched using my Big Shot and Go-Go Boots letters.
