My Swatch Book

I have been playing with paper today, lots and lots of paper!

One of the things on my list of projects was a swatch ring to put samples of all my PTI and SU cardstock on since I don't know the names and it would be nice to play along with some color challenges and know what to use lol.  This is also leading to organizing all of this cardstock as where it was before wasn't as accessible.  I got some more 3 drawer units to put this cardstock in and hope to be able to use it more now that I can get at it.

Instead of a swatch ring, I decided to end up making a swatch book as I wanted to protect the samples so they don't get ruined.  I cut up some heavier cardboard for the covers and am using cereal boxes for the inside. Yay for finally using stuff I've been saving up!

Here is what I've done so far - the book cover and the PTI samples.



Next up I need to make the SU sample pages - I think that will take me even longer than these pages did since I have sample packs of all 4 color collections, the in colors and a bunch of the older colors.  It will be so nice when it's all done!

The paper I used for the cover is the DCWV Garden Party. Of course I had to use pink & brown to match my scraproom. The butterfly die is from PTI.

Thanks for looking!
