Spellbinding Spellbinders with Christine Urias!

Christine Urias of Scrap Time always knows just what to do! Have you ever wanted a little notebook to display neat photos of friends or family? Maybe you'd like to share some recipes? Here is a fun project by Christine that will help you do just that or more!

Cut these neat postage stamp-like pages with Bonjour Papers by Kaiser and Creative Book Pages and Creative Book Pages Two by Spellbinders!

Cut some butterflies with Wonderful Wings. Attach using the Tiny Attacher. Spray with the Ginger Ale Smooch Spritz.
Create a beautiful flower with leaves for the front with the Grand Peony Die. Use the Shadow Flowers die for extra zing! Spritz with Cashmere Smooch Spritz! Distress the leaves with ClearSnap Mixed Media Inks in Truffle, and spray with Candle Glow Smooch Spritz.

In the video, Christine uses the Shadow Flowers Die to embellish some of the pages. I love this die!! She used Miss Nelly Papers by Kaiser too.

    I have lots of favorites as I really love them all, but one I turn back to over and ocver is the Fleaur de Lis pendant and Motifs and accents too. These dies just have a way of sneaking in on sooo many of my cards, but there´s soo many more of all these awesome dies on my wishlist too. If just we could be rivh enough, to just go and buy all we wants? LOL But not many who can do that so guess we´ll just have to weait and see, what Santa might bring soon here he he

  53. keineisteinekOctober 31, 2011 at 3:14 AM

    I suppose "Scalloped circles" to be the most usefull.

    btw., I still do not understand how do people store albums with such a big embellishment on the cover.

  54. KaryOctober 31, 2011 at 5:38 AM

    I think my favourite Spellbinders would be Labels 8 - I think I've used this die the most on my cards. I love every single Labels series, so I'm a big fan!
    Love Christine's project. Wonderful idea, and her videos are great.
