I made this for Carole's DTGD (Dare to Get Dirty) challenge over on Split Coast to use real red, brilliant blue and yo yo yellow on your card. I NEVER use these primary colors!! (at least not together!) and if I think of them I think of little kids and elementary school! - so I decided to make a little photo album out of two 5 3/8 inch by 3 7/8 inch coasters and my Bind It all.
I used this fun alphabet designer paper for the covers and this wonderful stamp from the Crafty Secrets 'Story of Me' set that I've had for ages and NEVER INKED yet!! I stamped my image on white, colored it with copics and layered it on red, yellow and blue. I sponged the edges of the covers with Brilliant Blue ink.I used 3/4 inch Zutter white wire for the binding to be sure to leave enough room for the extra width of pictures that will be added later.
I used real red, yo yo yellow and ballet blue (I had no Brilliant blue) card stock for the pages cut slightly smaller - 5 x 3 1/2. 
For the inside of my album I cut a nestability scalloped rectangle and stamped a label from Label Classics to cover the ends of the ribbons as well as provide a place to write in the contents of the album or dates or names etc!
Well - despite using colors I wouldn't usually grab - I do like my little project that I ended up with!! and that's what challenges are all about right?!!

LeAnne's right, it does look GREAT in these colors!! I almost chose this in your FS challenge because I liked it so much.
This is fabulous, Julia!!!
I'm not a big primary color gal either, but you've made 'em look fresh, fun, and sooo cheerful here! Might have to rethink the whole primary color thang ...
