Martha Living in all her glory is a done thing. I like the Cinch. Yes, different from the Rubicoil, the Bind It All, and the Binderie. Holy Moly Crimerie, I have FOUR binding machines. Oh my, this may turn into a reality show. . "obsession."
On the cover I used the cover of the December issue of Living and some scrapbook paper.
Got papers punched. Take a clue from the clueless here - always practice your punching before you punch for real!
With the Cinch you can use the Bind-It-All wires or the Cinch wires, but excuse me I have all of these rubicoils. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. I think. I thought it would be easy. I did find I needed to line up all the holes and then "hold" them together to before coiling. Nope, not as easy as if I had used the Rubicoil machine.
The rolling at that point got really easy peasy!
What I discovered was the Rubicoil machine punches the holes much closer so I ended up "stretching the coils" and it worked. Here is a Rubicoil punched little book and you can see the difference between the photo above and the one below:
Next book I work on, maybe tomorrow, I will use the Cinch wires to see how I like that look. After the coils were in I started putting in all the pages I ripped out of the Living magazine I eventually tossed (yes, Korie, I might not be organizing but, darn it, I am tossing),
And more pages,
Well, I dressed Martha up a bit with a "domestic bliss" fabric tag:
These textile tags are from Melody Ross in her Homespun collection. So until tomorrow just remember:
And a note to Janet: I will show you the chili box little notebook tomorrow morning. I found the photos of it. Yes, I gave it away as a gift! All of you have a great evening and get ready for the Easter Bunny to arrive at your door step. Hugs to all,

this is a great idea!
Wow! I love this! You are the Queen of books as far as I am concerned. I love what you do.
Hugs,
Terri
HOw fun--I love your book! I just ordered a Bind-it-All for my birthday. It's supposed to arrive soon. I can't wait! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a lovely comment--I hope you have a wonderful Easter!
Apparently I am NOT the queen of books, as Terri has bestowed that title to YOU. Couldn't agree more. Since there is not ONE binding item in my home, I am sending ALLLLL of my books to you.
(not)
Do staples count?
Now I must go online and purchase a binding thing-a-ma-jig.
The fanciest tool I have is a Cropadile punch!!!LOL!
I've never used this binding machine...love you book! Have a blessed Easter :)
You have more binding machines than anyone I know. I have NONE, so making these books is a lot of fun to read about. Got a real thrill out of how you stretched the coils. Way to go.
