That’s right! I’m the proud owner of a brand new Bind-it-All! And I have just one thing to say. Why didn’t somebody tell me sooner about this?!? I took the photo with it still in the package because even the presentation got me all excited! I hardly wanted to open it! But when I finally did, I made this:
With this project I used another one of my favorites, the curved rectangle die from Spellbinders to make the shape of the book. The chipboard covers and inside pages were all cut from the same die using my Cuttlebug. The stamps are from Purple Onion Designs and the sentiment is just perfect for this project. I layered the main image on top of a flower chipboard piece. Because the color was very close to the patterned paper on the book, I placed it on top of a piece of chocolate cardstock to really make it pop. It's hard to tell, but I also embossed the chocolate cardstock to give it more interest and texture.
I will warn my friends and family now. You may all be getting some form of bound notebook for every holiday and birthday from now on. I just don’t know if I’ll be able to stop!

Very cute Jennifer! I've been wondering if this was a "must have" for my arsenal. I just can't get past the price.
Fab book Jenifer - health to use and all that - there'll be no stopping you now!!! Lol.
Very cute Jennifer! They were on sale at Ben Franklins and I almost got one but passed. Of course now I am sure that I need one. I will keep you posted :-)
Oh you are so going to love your new BIA. You are going to make amazing things with it. Have fun. -Molly B
I am jealous. I knew that is what you were getting, it is the only pink thing that I have been dreaming of. Great book, can't wait to see all the fabulous things you make.
If that's what your are giving your friends, I want to be your friend!! SO, how did you know what you needed to buy with it? You know, does it come with a "starter set" of O-wires and stuff? Where did you do your research to find out "what you needed"? I've not used one of these so I'm not sure what I'd need....but I'm pretty sure this may be on my birthday list!! I am a huge fan of your blog, and I look forward to all the cool stuff you will do with it~
Wow lovely! Can I be your BFF? :0)
