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.

Glitz Wedding Guest Book

A little bit of glitz to an otherwise glamorous occasion.

Lemon Cover Options

I just got some new cover options in, working on getting them into the paper gallery.  But for now, with lemon being such a popular color I thought I would share some of the new designs.

Gray is The New Black

Have you noticed it, or is it just me?

Actually Paper Craft Magazine just had a simular statement a few months ago in one of their issues. Things have been changing from formal black to slightly gray when it comes to weddings and graduations.

And not only is gray climbing on the popularity scale, it's getting twisted with colors like gold. How unique is that?

But don't just take it from me, Hello Beautiful has this to say about the grey trend, and even the stars of letting go black and turning grey according to the NY Times Daily.

Is Grey the new black? What do you think?

The Whole Guest Book Package

Remember the book covers from Friday's post, Especially For You?

As you can see, I finished the guest book album in this stand-out black and red design and added a ribbon pen!

I couldn't resist doing something special for the front page of this wedding guest book album. I just got these new wedding day stamps from my local craft shop and couldn't wait to try them out. So I know it's hard to read due to the photo but the page says "True Love".

I alternated and stamped the top and bottom corner of the pages with the elegant corner stamp that's very popular with alot of my custom orders right now. And, there's the pen - red ribbon and a black feather. We'll talk more about the pen later. I'm planning on doing a tutorial on how to make this easy and sophisticated pen later in the week, so stay tuned. :)

As you can see in the photo below, I used the "tortoise shell" binding method. I think it adds sophistication and the red really makes this book say "romance".

As I was making this book, I got to thinking a pen seems so lonely without one of those elegant pen stands. So here's what the whole guest book package ended up looking like - personalized.

As you can see, this guest book album package has already been claimed. I have one more left in the shop that is similar to it without the pen stand. That was my little trip earlier this week to get supplies. I was looking for a way to make a pen stand that was different, yet personal looking for the occasion.

I'll feature the pen stand later, I promise along with how I made it and the feather pen.

Until tomorrow, what colors are you leaning toward this wedding season?

Made Especially For You

First, I just want to thank Tonya Wilhelm for her presence and great tips on finding the best wedding photographer these past three days.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

It's been busy around here and I've been working on a special custom order guest book album.

Here's a little sneak peak...

This is the front cover and beneath it is the back cover, identical, with wax paper inbetween. These have been pressed the last few days while they've been drying. I'll be moving on to stamping the pages and photo pages. I'm thinking black or red for the photo card stock, what do you think?

Guest Book Album - Purple and Black Damask

Purple and Black Damask Guest Book Album

The Ivory and Black Damask Guest Book Album was such a big hit, that I decided to go ahead and create this one purple and black damask print guest book album. I used white ribbon to stitch the binding, and give it an accent away from the purple.

Inside I stamped the pages with the floral corner stamp, which has also become requested most often since the feature of the ivory and black damask guest book. I haven't been able to put this stamp away since I got it out!  It's such an elegant design it doesn't surprise me that I've had so many request for it lately.

Since the stamp is designed for the corner of the page, I've been alternating corners to create the signature pages.

The inside pages of this purple and black damask guest book album are gray and black. There are 40 signature pages and 20 photo pages.

You can see from this angle the different layers of the covers and papers binded together.

To complete the set I placed the guest book album and it's matching pen inside a felt sleeve with little snaps to hold the flap closed.

So what do you think? Does purple work for this book? Or did you prefer the ivory?
