OMG - I really adore this! Fantastic! Love the way the covers look ... love the clear pages with extra elements, and love the binding! This is just the cutest TN Michele. Well Done!!!!!

This is really, really amazing....seriously awesome work!

Wow - just fantastic! I went back through the gallery to see all your pages. They are so much fun and captured all your adventure in such an awesome way! What a wonderful keepsake!

Too cool...What an awesome cherished possession. You are inspiring!

Terrific. @michele hillam I'm struggling to understand how you put it together. Did you have a traveler's notebook and pasted the pages in? Or did you print the pages, mount them in clear holders/page protectors and then use a spiral binding? Where did you find supplies of the correct size?

@flowersgal I created them as 8 x 8 pages, printed them off and cut them out to individual 4 x 8 pages. Adhered them back to back, wrong sides together. Created the clear pages by laminating an empty laminate sleeve and cutting 4 x 8 pages. Then I used a coil binding machine to punch the holes and thread the coil through. Printed the elements 2 times (one regular and one mirror image)and stuck them to each side of the clear pages. Hope that clears it up a little!

@michele hillam Yes that clears it up for me. What a clever idea. Now if I just had a laminating machine and a coil binding machine I'd be in business. Do you own those or find a local office supply store or other place that would let you use theirs?

I own both of those but you can go to any office max or Fed Ex business center and they can probably do both.

What a wonderful idea and a beautiful book. It makes me smile. Yes, thanks for the inspiration.

This is fantastic! What a great keepsake!
