Fashionista Version of the Policy Meets Tag Album

See... y'all thought I wasn't going to come through!  LOL! 

I was trying to watch Kathryn's class over at Life On The Scrapbeach  and make the cover for this album at the same time.  I still haven't been taught the technique of paper crafting, chatting and trying to learn something at the same time!  It's kind of like chewing gum and walking...God knows at one point I had the glue gun in one hand and I was typing with the other!  I try!  By the way, she is making the coolest card organizer storage box!!  Go check it out!  I'd like to make this for my sweet Mom who writes copious amounts of cards!  I admire this special talent!  I'm doing good to call people back!

Anyway, the cover is finally completed for the Graphic 45 Fashionista Version of the Policy Meets Tag Album.  In the pictures below you will see the one page I used to make the tutorial for the PMTA. 

Here we go....

As you can see in the detail above I laced the hangers for a different design effect for the spine.  The hangers are affixed with brads on each end of the hanger.  Holds the ribbon perfectly.

Well, that's it folks!  Tomorrow is Friday and that means The Weekend Is Coming! New projects to work on so check back!

Thanks for looking!

YAY!!! I think I'm first commenting here. I am loving this project. I have so many projects to work on, but this mini will be at the top of my list. It looks fast and easy. Home Depot...Here I come!!!

[Jim]

Donna, yes, it's fast and easy. A great last minute gift. Oh, on the washers, you can get a huge box of the #6 washers for pennies at Home Depot. Think about how many colors you could alcohol ink these too! Tim's brad washers are hard to find. I heard somewhere they were discontinued. I always loved those brad washers! Too bad. If someone know where you can find them, let me know!

Thanks Donna! I need to pull out your cobbler recipe and give it a go again! Delicious!

Vintaj has some nice brass washers. I love your little hangers on the spine. I have some of those and never knew what to do with them. I actually used one this week to hang a "diamond" from a chain this week. Love this book. One day... so many projects... so little time!

[Sherry]

An amazing spine - I love it and will definitely add the hangers to my wish list. I could never imagine how to incorporate them into a project. Thank you for sharing your ideas and the tutorials are such a great bonus.

[Lori C]

Fantastic binding! I just love it. Thanks for sharing all you do with us. It's much appreciated.

[Lynn Wild]

I love what you've done with the hangers on the spine Jim. I've got some of these but haven't used them yet. I wish I could come up with original ideas like you do - you should write a book!

[Lynn]

Jim, is this my birthday present??? LOVE IT!!! You can just send it to the shop to my attention.

And still counting the days till the announcement!!

[Sheron N]

I swear never in a million years would I have thought of such a cool way to do the spine and can you tell me 'cause its not 100% clear in the pic what are the tags attached to the rings with?

[Theresa]

I get such a giggle just looking at how you put things together. Awesomely original. Have to get those hangers out and play some more with them. I can't believe your blog is just a few months old. Glad you decided to share.

[Paul]

Apologies for not commenting on this sooner. I thought i'd already left one. Yet another glorious, talented piece. Love how it's got a whole different feel to it with the softer elements this time around. And the hangers holding the ribbon is inspired. Would never have thought to incorporate them in such a way. Brilliant! Pxx

[linda williamson]

[Ella]

love the hangers on the spine, when they came out with them, I thought there we so cute,and had to buy them, just was not sure how I was going to use them. So if okay would like to scraplift for the spine of one of mini albums. Your talent is incredible, keep up the creativity and love your tutorials as well.

[Cindy Click]

Love it. This paper line is one of my favorites. The hanger idea is amazing. Do you sleep at night? I bet you have a sketch book by the side of your bed so when an idea pops in your mind, you won't forget it. I love your double spine effect. What can I say. You had me at "Fashionista!"
