I must have been good in 2011 because Santa left me a bit of cash in the toe of my stocking. (I always leave it out just in case Santa is feeling generous.) Anyway, I used the extra cash to purchase a Cinch binding machine that was on sale at Ben Franklin Crafts (probably still is on sale). I was hesitant to buy another machine because I am really technically handicapped. However, the Cinch was well, a 'cinch' and I had success from the first try. Shown in the photo is my second project that I created for Valentine's Day using mostly Martha Stewart products (see previous post). I'm particularly proud that I recycled a Christmas ribbon and cut up used computer paper for the inside of the notepad. The gel pen hanging from the binding is from the giant (48 pens) pack of assorted colors available at BFC.) Now that I know that I can get the Cinch binding machine to do what I want it to, I have dozens of projects filling my brain. If you need a binding system that works, this is the one for you. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll return often to see what I have to share.

;)
Hi, Lynn, I wanted to purchase the Cinch and I've seen it in the store on sale. :) Your notebook is pretty! Have a good day.
Pretty notebook! I love anything Valentine!
Great projects, Lynn! Aren't you happy with your Cinch? I love mine and I plan to use it even more this year.
TFS and Have A Crafty Day!
what a fun new toy...I love it..
Great projects Lynn~
This is still on my wish list,right now I just use my old technique with the Crocodile - punch hole and use O-rings....I'm hinting for one who knows maybe a Valentine's gift from DHB? LOL!
This is a lovely VD notebook, Lynn. Love the papers and MS punches you used. So, is it easier than the BIA? I have the BIA and swear I only used it 3 times. I heard the "wires" are a different shape so the book opens better. Can't wait to see more of your projects using the Cinch...it may convince me to get one!
i love mine!!! best present ever! i don't use it as often as i should but so good to know it's there when i need to bind something!! yep, you was a really good girl too get some craft goodies! ok the cash... hehehe! Love your project and look forward to everything else you whip up with the cinch! =)
I've been wanting to get a BIA or Cinch and now that I've seen your projects, I'm itchin' to get one of them for sure. Love your notebook Lynn, TFS and enabling! :)
I love the Cinch but I have way too many "devices" for my crafts so I think I'll just use my Bind It All...LOL!
