Coolest New Toy!!!

I can now make my own thermally bound books of any size up to 15"X15" and 4" thick!!!!  It's amazing!!!  I just create pages I want, slide them into the spine of the cover I created, heat, and it's done!  No rings, no stitching, no accordion folding.  Just a book, like all those ordered through online photo sites.

Here's the first one that I by covering chipboard rectangles:

 This next one is a 4X4 book and I used cardstock for the covers.  It's not as study but at least as sturdy as a small spiral notebook you by at the store.

These will be wonderful for small additions for tucking into gift bags and then there is the whole realm of possibilities or themed photo albums or scrapbooks as gifts and to archive the heritage information I am working on.  Whole books with all the information in nice, clean binds.  :)  Oh, and reports......but who wants to think about reports????

Paper Trail Blog Hop featuring Wonderland paper

Happy New Year and welcome to 2012!  If you got here from Karen's Inky Fingers blog, you have already been treated to the fabulous paper featured this month.  For January, our little blog hop is featuring Close to My Heart's Wonderland paper, for an elegant "wintery" feel using neutral grays, soothing blues, toasty browns, and accented with light trendy lavender.  These are thank you cards for the students and friends who gifted me for Christmas so each is a small notecard.  I seem to be making lots of little notecards these days.

  For more beautiful work featuring the Wonderland papers, continue to hop over to Vicki's Wizard Hangout blog!
