So after receiving her fabulous creation I dug out my Bind it All machine....blimey I forgot I had it...lol....and so I made a book myself...hope you likey...

    Gorgeous book Vicky. I love that sweet image. Love the colour combo too. Not sure when my Bind it All last saw daylight! I'd love to tidy up my craft stash but I always find myself trying to craft instead! Trouble is I know I'd get on better if my stuff was tidy and it was easy to find what I was looking for lol!
