My mom has another grandchild on the way and you know how grandmas are—they always need photos of the grandbabies to show off to
friends and family. I created this little book using a 3”x4” Cover-All. It’s the perfect size for Grandma to carry in the car or her purse or
she can put it on her desk at work. And just in time for Mother’s Day too!
Since the cover was kraft colored, I simply added a scalloped circle with a stamped image in the middle, a bow, and a title with mini
alphabet stickers. Then I Glimmer Misted the whole cover with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. No need to cover it with paper!
On the inside cover, I completely covered the book with suede paper (a type of flocked paper). Then I used a craft knife to cut open the slit
for the plastic sheet of the Cover-All to slide into. I used my finger to feel where the ridge of the pocket on the Cover-All started and then
held a ruler there to cut a straight line with the knife. When I slid my book into the Cover-All I used a little bit of glue to permanently
secure the book into the Cover-All.
I cut some coordinating, double sided papers into 3” x 4” pages using the DreamKuts. After binding the pages together (including a few
acetate and envelope pages) I added some cropped black and white photos of the grandkids to the pages. I added a few rub-ons and within
30 minutes I had a Mother’s Day gift for Grandma!

Earth Day is this month and that just got me thinking about
using recycled materials to make a mini book. I used corrugated
cardboard and scrap chipboard for the pages. Then I decorated
the inside with “recycled items” like repurposed Prima flower
packaging, brad packaging, and Quickutz die clamshells as well
as re-using old page protectors, some office coin envelopes I had
on hand, and pop tops from soda cans. I diecut shapes from old
fabric and other scrap materials to create this fun, happy book
about life. Even the paper and journaling spots are recycled
paper from Jillibean Soup!
The result is a real funky chunky book! I used 1-1/4” O-Wires to
bind it all together since the book is pretty thick and bulky.

Daily Duties Family Chore Chart
Spring time makes me think of Spring Cleaning! With sports and Girl Scouts starting up in Spring we get pretty
busy and our housework and chores start to suffer. I created a “daily duties” to help keep my daughter on track
with her chores and daily hygiene needs and to help keep the hubby and I on track for the house cleaning that
needs to be done each week.
I painted and then decorated on 8x10 Clipboard Wood Cover. I chose to use Clipboard Wood instead of chipboard
because I wanted the chart to be really durable since it was going to be handled every day.
I created some “Daily Duties” sheets on the computer, printed them, and bound them to one side of the chore
chart. I attached a coordinating ribbon to the top for hanging using the Crop A Dile to punch through the
clipboard wood. I created a loop of ribbon on the side to hold a pen for checking off the duties. When the week is
done, the sheet is torn off to reveal a new sheet for a new week. To make the pen holder, fold over a loop of ribbon
and secure to the back of the Clipboard Wood. Adhere a small scrap of paper over top of the ribbon to hold it
securely.

I laid several Glimmer Screens on the right hand side of the Cover-All and misted them, being careful to not get
too much mist on the left hand side of the Cover-All. While the Mist was still wet, I flipped the screens over onto
the left hand side of the Cover-All and pressed them to create a stamped effect. Then I covered all the colored
sections with Glossy Accents and let it dry. After it is dry, you could mist the entire Cover-All with a contrasting
color and wiped the excess from the glossy sections of the Cover-All. I simply left the matte areas white. I misted
the inside of the Cover-All with another contrasting color and then stamped lines and words for journaling.
I created a variety of pages for the inside of the book using envelopes and 7 Gypsies Photo Carousel pockets as
pages.
