WOYFW

Happy WOYWW check out the rest of the desks over at Julia's and see what everyone else is creating, there is so much to see.
I'm still on the floor and my hunk of a cat loves it as you can see from the pictures below he loves to try and take over my little cutting place as you can see if your not petting him he gets right in the way lol I don't really have much going on I've been super busy helping out at work as a favor just for the next week so then I'll go back to my regular hours can't wait for that.  So what on my desk is just my new die book I made it's not very big but it's perfect for me and it holds all that I have at the moment. I love Kraft paper and thought how I couldn't part with it and how the best way to enjoy it so I made up my little book it's not the most fancy but it's exactly what I need and I wanted it left plain seeing this is something I plan on grabbing alot to use and now it's just so handy to flip thru.
It's bound with Ribbon and hand made cardboard spacers to keep it sitting flat
I even scored the cover so it would bend properly.
Magnets have been Glued front and back of all the inside pages plus I can always
add more in just by uniting the ribbon and add more
the Magnet I got from my dollar store it was a locker magnet
that I cut into four 4.5 by 6 inch sheets didn't even cut the paper
just attached and kept going

I also have some stash for sale take a peek it's at the top of my blog
thanks for looking
hugs Nikki

  3. Desk - lovely... best bit is that it looks as though your gorgeous 'hunk of a cat' is laughing at something :) He's so sweet!
    Great idea for the dies. I bought a pack of magnetic shims to slip into a binder to store mine - absolute bargain at just £1.99 for a pack of 6 - trouble is, I can't remember where I bought them! lol
    Have a wonderful WOYWW!
    Best wishes from Bubbles

  10. Brilliant Nikki - the spacers is genius. I have a similar system but the magnet is on card and they are standing in a magazine file...but I seem to have less than you...hmmmm....!

  20. My dies are in the original packaging - I found a stash of magnetic business card backers in my drawers while organizing and they work perfectly for this. But now you've tempted me to do something more formal. I love things stored in books as the flipping thru is so much easier. Maybe one day :)

    Happy WOYWW

  21. Ooo I love your die book, like how you put the spacers in to keep it flat. I have just organised all my dies onto magnetic sheets then put them into the thin plastic cd wallets and store them in a cut down lever arch file. Love your kittie too he's a beauty.
    Happy art making
