Little Yellow Bicycle and Zutter

November 23, 2008 By JulieK

Have you seen the beautiful "Love Letters" line by Little Yellow Bicycle??? It's just beautiful!!! Lots of gorgeous papers, and the elements are wonderful, acetates, flocking, chipboard, ribbon… You name it, and it's here!!! We got a fabulous package of things from them recently, and I created this mini-book featuring photos (mostly of our kids) from my BIL's recent wedding… I used the new Zutter Cover All's as well, and thought that it made the perfect little binder for this fun book!! Here's the cover and a few of the inside pages… Don't forget to check out the www.zutterzisters.com site to check out more creative ways to use the Bind it All!

It’s finished!!!

That's right… The annual "year in review" photo book is actually FINISHED BEFORE Thanksgiving!!! I am just so pleased with myself!! I usually don't even start picking pictures until Thanksgiving weekend, so I'm WAY ahead :) We use Lulu.com for the publishing, so DH will get it ready and uploaded, and just maybe this year we won't need expedited shipping to get them for Christmas :) I don't want to show it off too much 'cause I love for it to be a surprise, But here's the cover… I used goodies by Shabby Princess, the Olivia Collection…

“Stickie”Journal

November 8, 2008 By JulieK

For this project, I used the super fun Teresa Collins shaped chipboard covers… Beautiful Graphic 45 papers, and some Prima bling… Inside, I used a lined stickie note, when the paper is gone, it can simply be replaced!! Don’t forget to check out the other Zutter Design Team projects at the Zutter Zisters site

Can you feel it? It’s a Brand New Day!

Ever since the election results on Tuesday evening, this song has been stuck in my head!!! My middle school chorus performed it last spring in their concert, and it’s certainly a “catchy” tune, and the lyrics are so fitting right now, I may have to pull it out again this spring!!!

A Brand New Day (from the Wiz)

Everybody look around
‘Cause there’s a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let’s commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we’ve been waiting for

Everybody’s glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness

Hello world
It’s like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we’d be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we’ve got liberty

It’s such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It’s like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we’d be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we’ve got liberty

“Reading” record book

Sean just loves to read, and at his new school he has Library every week, Yeah!! So, when I was at the LSS, and saw the package of Library Pockets (complete with Library Cards) I KNEW that I had to have them!! Here’s what I made :) A little book for Sean so that he can keep track of the library books that he takes out this year… This was one of my Zutter projects for this month… You can see it, and all the other Ladies’ fabulous projects on the Zutter sites… Check them out!! www.zutterzisters.com

and an inside page

The patterned papers and letters “Sean” are Scenic Route (and WONDERFUL!!) I also used my Zutter BIA of course :) Zutter Acrylic covers, and some of my Favorite Quickutz: Nesting Circles, Moxie, the Cannon Blast, and the Star.
