I was browsing Cardz TV the other day and I saw a cute little fall mini wordbook she made for a blog hop. I thought it was so neat that I had to try to make it myself. It was so easy to make!
I can't wait to explore the world of mini albums, but, I have to ask:
Bind-It-All or Cinch?
I want to get a binding machine but I just CAN'T make up my mind! If you own one of these machines, and have an opinion on why it's the one for me, leave me a comment! I'd love to read what you think :)
What you need:
- 4 toilet paper rolls, cut in 1/2 inch intervals
- Halloween Paper (I reccomend DCWVs "Midnight Spell" stack, it's fabulous!). You need two pieces of patterned paper for each roll.
- Cricut Happy Hauntings Cartridge (Fence, Tombstone Tags)
- Cricut Birthday Cakes Cartridge (BOO font)
- Cricut Holiday Cakes Cartridge (Pumpkins, Happy Halloween)
- Crop-A-Dile and 3/16" eyelets
- Binder Rings
- Large Tags (cut to fit each pocket)
- Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord, and Black Soot
- Martha Stewart Halloween Clear Stamp Set
- Versamark Pad, clear and black embossing powder
- Stickles, brads, and any other embellishments you want to use

You're stuff is soooo cute!!!
Adorable album!
I have the pink BIA & have used it many times, but it's not easy. I have a hard time punching the holes consistently...ie; evenly spaced & lined up on each page. Each time I make a practice cut & try to use that as a guide for the right placement of the holes...it's time consuming & not easy for me.
I find it very hard to hold the pages upright (and straight) while punching.
I wish I could afford the Cinch. Everything looks so much easier to use & more versatile too. (You can pull the pins to skip punching holes.) I like that you lay the pages flat while punching and the wire holder on the side is great too. Also, I own the Crop-o-dile & it's very strong & sturdy, so I think the Cinch would be too.
The only thing I like better about the BIA is that it punches square holes instead of the round holes on the Cinch.
