I made this cute little "purse buddy" because I was tired of hunting through my van to find a piece of paper I could jot a few things on.  RBD’s new set LISTED has MANY uses and I can’t wait to show you more ideas so keep watching…..

Here is the picture of the outside…..I didn’t put  embellishments on the cover as this is meant to go in my purse and I knew they would not last long .  I covered some chipboard coasters with SU DSP and used Kiwi Kiss and Basic Grey cardstock to make a divider and cover the inside covers.  I inked up Darling Damask (another favourite) and used matching inks to make a pattern on the divider and inside covers.

Sorry the picture isn’t really clear…..need to work on my lighting skills .  but you get the idea.

Here are some inside shots………………half of the book is Grocery Lists and the other half is "To Do" Lists so I can make sure to list places I need to go….or sales I don’t want to miss.  LOL

 This is a close up shot….but you still can’t really see that I perforated the white pieces just before the binding so they would make a nice clean tear-out and used one of the "do dads" from the Listed set to decorate where the coil is.  I did use the Zutter Bind-it-All if you are wondering.

Super Cute eh!!!  I am going to get my hubby to make a little hole in the end of a golf pencil so I can ribbon it to the coils and it can be stored inside the coils………..no need to be diggin’ for something to write with either!!!

Thanks RBD!!!  I will be using this OFTEN!

Don’t miss my matching "coupon buddy" coming soon!

My sweet little girl Kendra will be turning ONE on December 11th and I will be usng the Simple Birthday Thanks set for her Invitations.  While at the Creative Stitches Alive Fair this past weekend I purchased a box of Maya Road Chipboard that had 54 pieces of make-your-own cupcakes!!! SO CUTE! I decided to make her a cute little book that I can put pictures of her big day in.  I got to use my favourite new toy the Zutter Bind-it-All as well.  I tried a really cool technique we learned from Linda Hamilton at Convention.  It’s hard to see in the photo but the whipped cream top of the cupcake is done with white craft reinker and a classic ink reinker swirled technique.  I promise to show the step-by-step technique soon, but until then, here is the photo.
