My Creations 3 Ring Binder with Veranda

I am in love with the 3 Ring Binder that is being created by Tresa Black. She is an amazing crafter and I have been waiting for her to post the next video on her Adore Album. You can find the beginning of the virtual class here. I copied the binder almost exactly except for the decorations on the front cover. I created 3 flowers with the Sweet Baby My Acrylix by layering some images. I held the layers together with a cocoa brad and adhered them with a pop dot.

I am using my journal for a Weight Watchers tracker. I am the type of person that likes to write things down and why not do it in a gorgous binder. I titled it "My Journey to a new ME." I have already lost 25lbs. but the real work is in the last 20. I am going to buckle down and get it done.

I used 2 dividers, 1 pocket page, and created a photo section on the back with Flip Flaps. I have been taking pictures of my progress but don't have them developed!!!

Buisness Card Accordian Holder Instructions

Hey Everyone, lots of you asked how I put together the accordian Buisness Card Holder. I put together a basic template for it and it can be customized to all different sizes. The measurements are as follows: 3 3/4 x 8 1/8, 2 1/4 x 4 (cut 2), 2 1/4 x 3 5/8 (cut 3).

Next score the 3 3/4 x 8 1/8 piece at 2 3/8, 2 7/8, 5 1/4, 5 3/4. Score the 2 1/4 x 4 pieces at every 1/2 in. Using a 1 3/4 in Circle punch, punch out the 1/2 circle on the 2 1/4 x 3 5/8 pieces so that they line up.

Next fold all your score lines and make sure you have a good fold.

Glue the inserts into the accordian folds like below.

Repeat with the other accordian piece.

Place glue on the outside of the insert and press firmly into the middle of the largest piece.

Add adhesive to the last side and adhere together.

Punch 1/2 in circle in the front of the box and embellish as desired!!!!
