Victoria Secret Inspired Lingerie Guest Book Album

This week's new design, you may have seen in the shop, but I don't think I've shared it with you all yet. This comes from a Victoria Secret inspired Bridal Shower request.

It's hard to see by the photo, the cover is using some new metallic cover stock I've recently added to my cover supplies. This one is plum purple. I've used some glitter embossed designer paper to accent the name card and the top of the lingerie.

With the evenings getting darker here in the fall I have to rely more on the ceiling lightening in my basement studio rather than the sunlight from the windows. My photo box was packed away a few months ago in anticipation of selling our home-- of which still hasn't happened and we've seen some great houses with wonderful spaces for my new studio slip away because our house hasn't sold yet.

So I hope you'll bear with me through some of my dark photos right now as we hope and pray for someone to come buy our house and are able to transition to a new space.

Hopefully, this close up is a better photo. Can you see the shimmer of the metallic?

This guest book is made to order, so you get choice of cover color, and your inside page design.

You can order it here.

Next week is Thanksgiving. We're staying home and enjoying some good ole family time together for the day and some good food. My husband cooks a mean turkey dinner, if I do say myself. I, of course, am in charge of the dessert this year. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a pumpkin pie in our house.

Are you staying in this year or going out?

Either way, have a warm and happy gathering.

New Design In The Shop: Lingerie Shower Guest Book

I recently had a request for a lingerie guest book album for a bridal shower. The colors were dark purple and pink. I used my cricut to create the cut outs for the lingerie.

Inside the pages are labeled "Best Wishes and Advice"

In all the years I've had custom request and making books, I don't know why I didn't make one of these sooner.

This is totally customizable in the shop. You can choose the main color of your cover and the color of the lingerie. Your ribbon color will coordinate and be the same as the lingerie color. And as always you have the option of the free name card on the front of guest book cover.

While I can't add the addition choice of page design without taking away the second color design option due to the set up of the shop through Etsy, feel free to convo me to choose another page design for your inside pages.

What do you think? Victoria Secret worthy?

Double Heart Wedding Guest Book

 I design a book like this a few years ago, you can see the design layout here.

This is custom order that I just loved creating this book. It really inspired me to get my creativity kicked back in gear again. I got some new papers designs from Jo Ann's over the holidays and was excited to pull out this dark purple and gray/ black paper design and create something so beautiful for this double hearts themed wedding.

I even took the scrap papers and created this card for the mother to put on her present to her daughter at the bridal shower and included a new tent style guest book sign to tie in with the brides' colors.

 

This is what it looks like laying out with the date and the couples names printed on the hearts. 

 

I stood it up so you could see it a little better, I'm sorry my photos are really great this time around. I'm working on getting my photo box set back up and my camera readjusted for cleaner shots. 

 This is a wire bound book, so I tied gray, purple, and black ribbon down the sides.

 This is what it looks like laying open for the guest to sign. One side is for the groom's side and one is for the bride's side, but it contains questions for the guest to answer on the pages like: I met Katie through James, I still laugh when I remember when Katie..., My best memory of James is...

Can you guess some of the other questions that went into this book?

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.

Nature Bridal Guest Book

After seeing the vintage bird book that I created, this book was inspired by the burlap and hemp cord binding. It's sweet, simple, and almost leans towards having that vintage feel, don't you think?

Happy Saturday everyone!

Fall Wedding Trio of Guest Books

 

It's a beautiful fall day, and I wanted to share with you this trio order I completed a few months ago for a bride and groom.  I created three books, two for bridal showers, and the one in the last photo is for the wedding.

As you can see, I included some coordinating thank you cards with each book for the occasion.

The first two books have the "guests" and "gifts" column pages followed by blank card stock pages for photos. And lastly, the wedding guest book has lined pages entitled "Friends and Family".

Congrats to the bride and groom!

Wedding Recipe Book

This is a custom bridal shower guest book that I created recently in a turquios damask. The pages are heavy laser paper with the bride's inital in the bottom right hand corner of the pages.

I believe the guest will be asked to fill out their favorite recipe on the pages for the bride.

I made a another wedding guest book with this same cover for another couple that I'll be sharing in a few days. The next one will have different pages and be a little more on the formal side. :)

Either way, this is a beautiful book and I really enjoyed working with this customer to create a one of a kind keepsake.

Let's Make Music

Let's make some music today, shall we? You might have remembered another music guest book I made a few months ago, this one is simular in style. This guest book has a vellum sheet as the first pages with the couples song lyrics. Then we move on to the inside pages with lines for names and best wishes.

The color scheme of this book is navy, orange, and gray.

It's a medium hardbound 8.5" x 8.5" stab stitch book.

Makes you feel like singing doesn't it?

Rose Scrapbook Journal

 I've had this fabric in my stash for a while, it wasn't until I had a vintage rose book cover request that I this fabric came to mind.  This vintage rose design is made of upholstry fabric.  I added two rose book marks -- one for him and one for her.

The inside signature pages are stamped with a burgandy rose, and in the back of this rose scrapbook journal are 20 double sided burgandy pages for pictures.
