Bridal & Bachelorette Shower Book

The project that I have to share is one of my favorite projects I have created for a couple reasons, it was part of a gift for one of my best friends to use as a keepsake from her Bridal & Bachelorette Shower for bridal cards & pictures of the event & the other reason being that this is the first project I was able to use my new The Cinch Binding Tool, which is one of my newest & favorite tools! I see several projects in my future using The Cinch!  Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!!
