Gellidex Obsession

Lately, I've been obsessed with this idea.  Making a "book" out of Rolodex cards.  I stumbled on Robyn McClendon's YouTube channel where she demos how she made her "book" and I have found the process so satisfying.  Gelli printing has always been a favorite of mine but collage has not.  Working on this tiny scale (2-1/4 x 4) has enable me to experiment with a lot of ideas quickly.  Making art takes a lot of practice and now, I've found a way to hone my skills and have fun in the process. 
I'm also making cards that re-use my existing art but also including commercials products like Washi tape, stencils and stamps.  And, I've added to my paper collection a lot of transparent materials and love working with these as well.
I bought my "Roladex Tray" on eBay since I couldn't find any on Amazon or at the Office Supply stores.  Perhaps it's been discontinued.  I bought the cards but returned them since they were so flimsy.  I find the old cards are better.  
If you ned some inspiration, just subscribe to her channel.  You'll have a lot of fun, I promise.

Hi Debi,
Thanks for taking my Craftsy classes! If you want to make one of these, just go to Robyn's YouTube Channel. She has about 19 videos on making this rolodex book and I promise, you will be inspired a I was. And, it's FREE!

Carol-I've had luck finding vintage rolodex sets at thrift shops, and the best part is they are usually about one or two dollars.
