This week we were challenged to a technique from 2008 that Tim Holtz shows how to make a niche for a scrapbook page. Ofcourse you can take those same instructions and use them on a variety of projects or cards, not just for scrappin'! You can check out the specifics of the challenge and find the link to a video that explains it on the Studio L3 blog.
I have been meaning to finish up on a swapped page book for sometime now, so the idea of a niche for the cover popped into my head a few days ago. You can see some of my pages in this post. But my ring-bound book will just have the pages I received in the swap. The pages are 6x6 and are quite dimensional, so I made the cover 6.5 x 6.5 and then opted to just use one ring in the top corner since trying to use the Bind-it-All would've been hard considering all the extras on each page.
I covered the foam core piece with papers from Stampin' Up and placed a rusted tin bird in the opening. I wrapped the edges with tissue tape just to be sure everything was covered! The saying is stamped and then edges colored with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. The sentiment is from Oxford Impressions. It's fairly simple, but seemed to work best with this project.
