Bind It All

[NiceRAK]

I just got my bind it all and I did buy the Bind it All Book....less than impressed with the book in way of ideas. So I am looking to you all for ideas. I have things swimming in my head but for whatever reason can't pick that ONE brilliant idea to motivate me to play. ( I think that I am in a creative slump).

I did several searches for ideas and came up with several ideas...I am just looking for a one stop idea shop so to speak.

So ladies....ideas?

I have the pink BIA and have not used it yet. Not because of a lack of ideas but because I have no time. However, I do plan to make a journal just for daily thoughts. Also, i want to make one devoted to Black History namely those heroes that you never hear about such as Fannie Lou Hamer. Now, I saw that in the book. I also want to do a journal with all of my favorite bible verses and christian songs so that I can carry it around with me. I have more I want to do, especially theme based. I am certainly subscribing to this thread. Once I get my first done, I will certainly add to my gallery.

did you do a search here on SCS? i got several ideas from here. i have started a mini album but not done yet - will post when done. I used the mazebook/puzzle book idea in the resources section to create the inner pages out of 12x12 then made the 'covers' out of chipboard (old cereal boxes) that I then covered in cardstock. the inside of the covers are where i put the 2 extra squares that the tutorial tells you to cut off so the entire thing matches nicely.

see samples here: Meander Book Snowflake Open by conductorchik at Splitcoaststampers

they key is to use the right size coils which really depends on the thickness of your final book. if the coils are too big and it looks silly and too small the pages wont turn.

the meander book is beautifl....I am going to have to make one in order to completely understand it; my brain hurts trying to figure it out. But i will figure it out

I'm curious to hear how you like it after trying it. This is on my wish list!

I just bought one, should be here next week. I bought some cheap plastic CD holders (like picture sleeves) that I am going to try and put between 2 pieces of chip board. I am having a party, will play the music and then give the 4 CD set played as favors. I sure hope I don't have a hard time punching through the thin plastic. Thought about it afterwards, it may just bunch up. I'll post a pix if they come out good.
