I made the album from scratch, as I didn't have the funds for a gorgeous American Crafts 6x6 Ring binder. I aimed to make something a bit like a Bind-it-all Cover it, since I wanted the same effect as the ring binders. And even though I say so myself, I think I did a pretty good job! I've been saving this Tinkering Ink paper for so long, the most expensive paper I have in my stash, and it suits the purpose perfectly.
The inside covers and the paper for the title page are also from the same pad. It's got some cracking contrasts in it! I love the rich chocolate in combination with the reds and blues.
It's such a simple concept but so effective (well, it is Cathy Zielske after all, the Queen of Simple Scrapbooking!)
There are many more posts just ready to be dropped into the template, but it's just a case of finding the appropriate photos to go with them. It has the potential to build up quickly, and I like that sort of thing.
What's your current project, and do you twitter? My username is SBLove_crafts, if you're on there, drop by and let me know!

I love it; it'll be a modern day anthology of quotations! Looks great. I don't twitter, am totally and utterly scared witless of the potential to waste yet more hours on this machine! If only it exercised me at the same time!
What a beautiful book!
I absolutely LOVE this album! The colours are amazing together and I love the concept of the quotations. Such a simple idea but what fun. Where do you find these things? I obviously don't spend enough time on the web ;-)
This is a great idea and a beautiful album. What have you used for the plain cover binding (can't think of the right word, you know, the bendy bit!) If it is regular cardstock how do you get it not to lift or crease when opening the album?
Don't twitter (the kids already complain about time spent blogging!) but do make dull updates on facebook!
I love how you've done this album - tres chic - may have to twitter surf....
