Well, we did figure it out ... made a few mistakes along the way ... but here is my first project using the Bind-It All. Keep in mind this is a WORK IN PROGRESS but I will share the beginning of it with you today ...

I have chosen the beautiful, vintage designer paper from Graphic45 called Le Romantique to create "My Vintage Style" book. I have used the 8x8 dp and adhered it to the 8x8 chipboard covers using Mod Podge before punching the holes and adding the inner paper / spine.

I am not exactly sure what all I will be adding to the pages of this book. I'm thinking maybe some of "MY" vintage card fronts and probably some ATCs or tags. I might even slip a few old family photos too. This little project is strictly for ME so I guess I can add whatever makes me happy!!I want to thank Lana for taking the time to help me get started on this project and being patient with me while figuring things out!! She was also kind enough to give me several sheet of SU cardstock that match the colors of the designer paper and will be used as the "base" for my different decorate pages. Thanks Lana!!
When this project is completed, I will be sure to share it with you in another post. I think this is going to be a lot of fun!
This is gorgeous x never would know it is your first!! Leigh x
