Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

 Boy have I been slacking on my blog!!! I guess its time to start catching up 😊      I have finally done a Christmas In July Project! I am not much for planning anything but I kind of did for this one. My friend found a Cinch Machine for one heck of a deal, she got the machine for $4 CAD and 6 sets of 3/8" coils for $1 a piece I think she said! She wasn't entirely sure what it was but knew it was a fun crafty tool so she got it. When I seen it up on her shelf I asked her if I could play with it and she said sure, so it came to live at my house and this is what happened...      So the first one I made was the Cinch book but then I realized that there are a lot of crafters out there that may want to make this but don't have a Cinch Machine so I made it into a Mini Album!! I used a digital collection by Nitwit Collections called Gnome for Christmas. Such a cute collection and has so many cute Gnomes... as you can see!!  The above photo is of the 1st...

      Here is a look at the 1st project I made with the Cinch Machine my friend got an amazing deal on, machine and 6 packages of 5/8" coils for $10... that is a savings of $350 if you were to buy everything new!! Unbelievable right!! So awesome, she has let me take it to live at my house to play with 😃 Just a simple and super cute little book. Simple pages and fun little layouts. I've sold the book and can't remember exactly what size it is but I wanna say its 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" (give or take a little). This is a super cute little book and will likely hold 40-50 or so photos 4" x 6" and below.
