Notebooks & it's time for a giveaway!
I've been playing with the bind-it-all machine for the last few days. I love this little binding machine! It works so well. I started with these large 8"x8" notebooks:
Had a blast making these up. I used some recycled wall paper samples for the covers. It was a vinyl wallpaper so it makes a nice sturdy smooth cover. I put these large ones in the shop here.
Then I thought it would be fun to make up some smaller ones so I put together these 6"x6" ones:
And then I found that I couldn't stop so I made up these 5"x7" ones:
All of these notebooks have 60+ pages in them along with some coordinating colored card stock pages. Of course there are some pockets and I threw in some journaling tags too. I thought it would be fun to give a couple of these away so if you're interested in having one of the 6" square or the 5"x7" ones leave me a comment on this post between now and Sunday. I'll draw a random name from all the comments on Monday morning. How many am I going to give away? Well it depends on how many comments I get!
In the meantime, it's nose to the grindstone for me now as I start working on the new Journal Making II class that I'm hoping to have done for the fall. I've spent the last couple of weeks making note and sketches and I'm ready to start testing some new ideas!
What a glut of beautiness!! I, too have binder machine envy, and I see that Joggles sells them. Is there anything she doesn't have? LOL!!
I'm partial to square journals. You've done beautiful work on the covers, Sue. Thanks for sharing all your creativity with us.

Very cool notebooks.
I have a spiral binding system and have been trying to resist purchasing this one that you have! One day I might have to break down and get it, too!!

I have bind-it-all envy. I can't get my spiral to stay round and it comes out square and squished.

Several are really nice but I especially like the gree 6x6 one. Been thinking about one of those binding machines & seeing your creations makes me think I'll move it up on my "wish" list.
