The Cinch book binding machine from We R Memory Keepers is a tool any scrapbooker will want in their collection of specialized tools.

Scrapbook crafters will find The Cinch a great help if they are looking for a binding machine to create their own scrapbooks with covers.  Thanks to We R Memory Keepers this easy to use binding machine will solve making and binding your own created scrapbook albums.

This affordable machine could pay for its self from the savings earned from creating and binding your own projects.  Scrapbooks and journals are only two of the possibilities for having one.

The Cinch will punch up to 20 sheets of copy paper at once, or the equivalent weight and thickness of card stock, vellum and other punchable material.  This is a generous punching capacity which crafters will find helpful and versatile.  This binding machine punches perfect, yet stylish, round holes.

The round holes make using wire binders easy to install.  O-rings produced by other companies can be used because they line up well with the round holes.  There could be some exceptions–test them first.

Operating instructions are conveniently printed on the machine for ease of access.  The work plate is laid out for ease of measuring in both inches and centimeters.  The machine is durable and stable,  yet lightweight, and folds to a compact package . . . making it very portable and store-able.

One of the real challenges we face as scrapbookers is to find books and albums to place our creative handy work into.  Some albums don’t allow the addition or reduction of pages . . . those that do means you have to purchase extra pages to add to your book.

Themed scrapbooks are the most difficult to deal with when it comes to finding a suitable album or scrapbook to use.  The PhotoBook is a great answer to this dilemma.   Now you can construct hardcover scrapbooks or photo albums you want with just the right number of pages.  This tool is very versatile in terms of the size of your scrapbook or photo book.

The themed kits for special events and holidays make YourStory™ the perfect choice for first time crafters and veterans alike.

YourStory™ Binding/Laminating Program: This clean, professional binding system will make scrapbooks, photo albums, presentations, and reports look their very best.

The thermal book binder has a large 12″ x 12″ capacity, making it perfect for scrapbooking projects. It features a laminator with the same capacity.

Album covers and laminating pouches are available in a wide variety of sizes. The albums are finished in leather or linen textures.

Instructions for use as a Binder:

With YourStory™, you can bind your most important photos, memories, stories or keepsakes in just a matter of minutes.

• Print your pages or photos and place them in the spine of the album cover.
• Plug in the YourStory Book Binder and Laminator. Press the power button. Press the up arrow and wait for the power button to turn green (approximately 3 minutes).
• Place the album cover, spine down, into the YourStory Book Binder and Laminator. Push the cover down until the spine touches the heating element. Press the up arrow again. It will blink. Allow the album to rest freely while binding (do not hold). When you hear a beep and the up arrow no longer blinks, the binding process is complete (takes just over 1 minute).
• Remove album cover from heating element and place it spine down in the cooling rack. Allow album to cool 5 minutes or pages may become loose.

Note: If a page is loose after binding is complete, simply repeat the binding process and ensure all pages are all the way down into the spine. Binder will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of dormancy.
