I am so excited I made my first word book. I told my husband the first time I saw them gosh that is really a dumb idea I would never invest my time in something like that. Well don't say never. 8 hours later I have made one. Surely it does not really take 8 hours but being my first word book and my first real project with the Pazzle Inspiration it took a little time. But it was fun, relaxing and the end results an awesome book even if I do say so and an awesome day designing it. So now I can justify my paper stash because I really went through several sheets with this project because I double back it for strength and added effect. So Fun. Time for bed though. I will post tomorrow to share and have all you experts give me some constructive critisism. Would love to hear from those more experienced. TIA

Congrats. Look forward to seeing the results.

I did/ am doing a word book for my nephew & it has taken me a long time, but I work in spurts.

Oh,ok, I love these. I haven't bought any yet, though. I was thinking of making my own, with chipboard and jump rings, has anyone made their own?

I did not do my from chipboard since I am not familiar with the settings on my Pazzle Inspiration yet. So I created my own books with true type font of my choice and the size of my choice. It is not quite as heavy since I only did two thickness of cardstock but I did bind it with the Zutter Bind It All and so it is very stable and I am comfortable with it. However once I get the setting for chipboard I will probably look back and wonder why I didn't invest my time and products better by using a chipboard book. I can cut everything from the chipboard to both from and back (mirror) for each page I just need to get the accurate settings so that I don't damage my Inspiration machine. I will post later today.
