You should have put the binder rings in with the brads before you added the embossed paper. You then would have a clean spunk and not have to worry about useless embellishments. You could even add a d ring to your project so you had something to hang charms off of. Just an observation of common sense. Your project is gorgeous and your distress technique rocks!
Even if you use a dry adhesive for the book covers, it is always a good idea to use a wet glue, or a bookbinding glue to do the spine. When the paper is a bit wet, and you score in between the cover and the spine, it will have a bit more "give" and you won't have as much trouble with the book being so tight. Nice tutorial - thank you!
Love your mini tutorial showing Tim Holtz binder ring. You did a great job!!! I enjoyed seeing your little mistakes on camera. I spend so much time trying to correct my mistakes or redoing something because I didn't measure correctly, but I guess that's how we learn.
Anyway, just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your video. Thanks!!!!
Okay...that is just too cute! It's great to see how easy the binder rings are to use! Thank you for that! I LOVE the embellishements you've put together for your cover! I'd love to see another video when the whole thing is all finished! Thanks very much!...Nancy :o)

you can also attach the binding ring to the center before you lay it down on the paper so you don't have to hide the brads later. :-)
