National Golden Retriever Day

It’s National Golden Retriever Day 💛 So Goldie decided it was only right to speak on behalf of Golden Retrievers everywhere.

 

Sooo Many Mini Traveler's Notebooks!

Cute! Cute! Cute!

Pulled out the Thermal Laminator to make these! 

Three sizes: 3"x4.5", 3.5"x5" and 3.75"x6"

Papers used were from Stamperia and Echo Park Scrapbook Pads.

Included in these mini TN are 'dashboards' (folders with pockets) for tags, notes, and bookmarks with some paper clips and an additional mini pen!

Junk Journal Cinch Notebooks & Minis Too!

Made a few Junk Journal Cinch Notebooks. The marble cover was an old book I de-constructed and salvaged the cover. I used distressed papers and Tim Holtz ephemera.

Used blank papers & steampunk 'Stamperia' Scrapbook pad papers for the flip up mini notebook.

Bookbinding was a cinch, thanks to THE CINCH!

Mini 'Cinch' Bound Books...

 

These are the little books I've recently bound using 'THE CINCH'.

Two on left in back are 5" x  7"...my Junk Journals. Smallest I've made are 2" x 3", 2" x 4", and 2.5" x 4". I've bound 3" sq. and 4" sq. and rounded corners on some. Many are 3" x 4" which either flip up or are bound on the left. A few are 4' x 5".

And...I have more that I've made!! 

Will plan to do a flip thru video soon. 

 

Loving THE CINCH!
