Colour swatch book

For a while I was tempted to buy PTI's colour swatch folder, but I decided it would be more fun to make my own instead.  I was inspired by Lisa Johnson's book here but decided to make mine 4 inches square - the size of PTI's coasters.  I used 2 coasters as the covers.  I cut out the title with my cricut and applied some crystal effects for a bit of shine.

And here are a few pages from inside.  I also cut these with my cricut. As it's on a ring, I can add more colours as they become available.
