School Year Themed Binder

I decided to keep the mini album momentum going by creating a school themed binder. I found a really great tutorial series on YouTube by Chelsea Perry. You can find the video series here:

I started by creating the binder first using the Chalk It Up Paper Pack, Chalk It Up Compliments, chipboard (purchased at local craft store), eyelets, black and white twill ribbon, and a Tim Holtz binder ring.





After I finished my binder, I created my pages. I have seven front and back pages. Although, I may add a few more later. 











After I completed the project, I also submitted it to Take Heart Ideas September Challenge. Find more about Take Heart Ideas here: http://takeheartideas.com/
This project was also submitted to Color My Heart's Color Dare #108. Find more about Color My Heart here: http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.com/
