OMG you are so creative that it is insane. I do have a question though. Do you buy premade books and just make the pages? Or do you make the covers and everything too and bind it yourself? And if you do the binding how do you do it? (unless its a secret then I totally respect that.) ^_^
Thanks for the kind words... I make the journals all from scratch. There are TONS of different bindings-seriously, it depends on what you want to do. It's not a secret how to do it. I do include one of the most basic and simplest ones with my online class. I have a very hard time working in a store bought journal. I have to have made it myself. Bookbinding books I recommend-Cover to Cover Shereen LaPlantz. The BIBLE of bookbinding. Also anything by Alisa Golden or Keith Smith. Your local library should have them or should be able to order them. I hope this helps. I'm in Scottsdale this weekend, come take a class-lol ;)
