Spellbinders Die storage Album-Anything but a card!

Happy Saturday Everyone! This week the Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show is "Anything but a Card" and this is what I created for that Challenge.
My newest addiction is Spellbinders Dies. I bought my first one a couple of weeks ago and love it! I'm now up to 3 sets and decided to make an album to store them in.  I cut thick 12x12 chipboard into 12x6 strips for the covers, covered them with Tim Holtz luscious Shabby Papers, took different sheets from his Shabby Stash and folded each sheet in half length wise to create my pages. I then cut strips of magnetic sheeting with my xyron and adhered them to the pages. Inside the front cover I created a pocket to hold the labels for each die set until I know by heart which sets I have. I decorated the front cover with some Say it with Pearls bling by Prima, and finished it off with some of my favorite Tim Holtz metal embellishments. I used Tim Holtz Hitch Fasteners and a hinge cut from Grungeboard using Tim's Hardware findings Die for the Album closure.

and here's a view inside the front cover:

I made this Valentine's Card for my Sister (hoping to get ahead of the game for this year's Holidays).  I'm entering it into the Simon Says Stamp and Show "Red Letter" Challenge.
My Sister isn't crazy about busy or cluttered cards so I tried to keep this simple.

Stripes

Over on the Simon Says Stamps Challenge Blog we were asked "Spots and/or Stripes".  I love both but chose to work with stripes for this project, patterned stripes to be exact :-)
I made this Mini Legal Pad Holder for a friend of mine using K&Co Patterned Paper from the Life's Journey 12x12 Paper Pad, Solid Cardstock from the Recollections Signature Cardstock "Holiday" 12x12 Pad, Spellbinders Labels Nineteen Dies, Basic Grey Half Pearls and a Petaloo Flower.

How wonderful of Linda over at L3 Studios Blog to make this week's Challenge all about Sir Tim Holtz and his Birthday!  Tim brings so much joy into the lives of us crafters with his Techniques and Tutorials, his fabulous products, his generosity and his special personality.
