DIY- Binder Cover Tutorial

As I mentioned earlier last week I signed up for Holly's Blogging Your Way e-course and one of the things I knew I wanted to have in place was a pretty binder where I can collect all my paperwork and store other creative findings.  And since I'm trying to reuse materials that I already own, I decided to cover a plain 3 ring binder that I wasn't using. The paper I used for the outside was a role of pretty paper I found at the dollar store.  I really like the contrast of lacy paper paired with the shipping brown paper on the inside. Pretty meets functional, what a great combo! I was so excited by the way it turned out that I put together this DIY tutorial so you can cover your own!  I had fun putting together these illustrations (straight from my sketchbook) and photographic tutorial.  I think it would be great to cover a few binders, that way you'll always have a place to store your many inspirations! I keep one in the kitchen to keep all my magazine recipes handy. Have a lovely weekend :)

Happy Friday to you!  I'm so excited to be joining the group of ladies over at decor8 for the Blogging Your Way e-course seminar starting early next month.  I hope to learn more about the ins and outs of the blogging lifestyle, work on creating more of a niche and style for this blog, and to meet new blog friends in the process.  I had the chance to meet and greet Holly when she was on her book tour through Chicago last month, so joining her class this year will be such a treat!  It's not to late to sign up, hurry over and check out the exciting outline Holly has lined up for this years seminar!  Can't wait to get the creative gears turning!
