YourStory Blank Book Tutorial

Helloooo Neverland! Good morning Mr. Smee! Okay, sorry. I saw the commercial for Peter Pan and thought of Hook with Robin Williams. So lets get back on topic. I have been making these blank books with my Yourstory from Provocraft. It is a book binding and laminating machine. I really like it. I was searching around on Youtube trying to find a way to maybe possibly make my own book covers instead of having to purchase them. I ended up finding an awesome tutorial by 2tinytreasures (Be sure to go check her out on Youtube. She is truly so creative!) I changed a few things and this is my version. All materials will be listed in detail at the bottom of post.

Thanks for watching!

Hello Hello! I hope y'all are doing awesome! I am gooooood. I have been having major issues with my back pain but that doesn't seem to stop me from shopping haha The euphoria high of the shopping is apparently a great pain reliever! I forget all about it. This isn't from one trip, this was about a weeks worth of purchases and guess what I got?!?!?! Yes, I picked up some glue but that's not what I am talking about.
