New Moon Coptic Journal

My bookbinding team on Etsy put up a challange to design a book for Halloween. I haven't been working with coptic stitch lately, so I thought a journal would be nice. I pulled out this moon paper and went to work.

 
I started out with 12 gray signatures. Each signature has 10 pages. I stained the edges with cranberry ink.

Then I stitched all the signatures and the covers together using a natural shade of linen thread.


 I stained the outside of the linen thread with the cranberry ink. I choose this new moon inspired paper with the dark tree branches to give it that spookiness and appeal to those twillight fans and zombie lovers.
 Inside I used a crackle paper on the inside cover. I had a spooky tree stamp so I placed it on the first page in the same cranberry ink.

To add another unique element to this new moon journal, I took simular printed paper to the cover and stuck in the center and quarter signatures.

I really enjoyed this challenge, and look forward to creating more journals in the future.

Ohio State Buckeye Guest Book



GO BUCKEYES!

The inside pages are gray and the photo pages are black.
This particular book was created for a baby shower, but with a little switcharoo can be a graduation or even a regular guest book.

Little Hoot in Yukon


I made up three of these sweet little forest themed owl books and as of today there's only one left in the shop. I'm working on altering the design to create a variety of color choices, but for now there's only one left, while in the mean time this baby book is on its way to the Yukon.... South Yukon Church of Christ that is. :)
 
Many Blessings to the new parents!

Polka Dot Monkey



Today's book feature is a custom order that I completed last week. The shower is themed with dark browns and polka dots. I just happened to have a piece of this polka dot cover paper. Isn't it too cute?

I think there is one more sheet of this cover stock in my stash.

Inside are blank white card stock pages for attaching advice cards.

I'm spending the day today with family, I hope you all have a great Sunday!

Fall Wedding Inspiration

Now that it is fall, I'm working on a new book cover design that pulls out all the rich wonderful colors. I don't know about you all, but the leaves have been starting to turn colors here in PA and they are just beautiful! And I must say inspiring. Today, I wanted to share that inspiratation with you for all the brides preparing for a fall wedding. I've gathered some of my favorite fall wedding photos from pintrest and google to share.

Couples Book Cover Embellishments




 
I haven't worked on any wedding themed books in the past few weeks, so I decided to play around with my cricut and created these oval embellishemnts from two different cricut cartridges. They're now an add on option in the shop for personalizing any of my books.
 
I have to say I really like the bride. I'm working on a bride and groom one, too.
Which is your favorite?
