I used my Bind-It-All!

For Tania's article for the November newsletter at Scrapsupply we broke out our Bind It All machines! I get so many beautiful Christmas cards and photos every year and have wanted to do something with them. The Bind It All (along with a Starbuck's Christmas bag) was the perfect answer for combining so many different size items into a little album! I also wanted to include a few details about our family during the year so inserted a few 7gypsie's photo cards with our family photo and details as well as a few traditions worth remembering.Because cards come in so many sizes I decided to center everything using my ever faithful centering ruler! Works pretty slick!On every size!!!Once they were punched, I stacked them in the order I wanted to insert them in. And started loading them on to the Bind It All coils.

And since I can't bear punching holes in the photos, I saved a spot just for them in the back of the album. A little toggle closure keeps them all safely in the bag when the album is being stored.

If you're interested in seeing more Bind It All ideas, check out the November newsletter at Scrapsupply!

What a wonderful idea, Sue!! Or should I say ideas? A Starbucks bag?? So, so clever! I love it! It's also great of you to show the step-by-step, of which, I'm a big fan since I sometimes like an idea but don't know how to take it from start to finish. This book will be such a fun memento to flip through, especially as the years go by. Great idea!
