Jan Brought 4 books with her to show us. Three, were ones she made and one was one a friend online had sent her. In the picture below, she used fabric on the cover of the one with the blueberries. All of them turned out so well. Each one was unique and had a style all of it's own. Jan used some of her hand made paper, asssorted threads and charms, and made them ready to fill with anything of her choosing. This was such a fun project. She brought her faithful friend, Rocky...snoozing in the pic below.
April found the neatest coordinating papers to make her book out of. She always comes up with the most fascinating decoration and puts a lot of thought into it. She used brads, stamping, pens, making tags, assorted threads to decorate her book. I wasn't sure if she said she was keeping this one or giving it to a friend. All of us used hand dyed or painted binding that Jan had given us. It not only holds the book together, but is beautiful at the same time. Boy, did we make a big mess on Pinky's table!
This is Pinky's little book just filled with her inchies that we all traded some time ago. She stamped her own paper (see the third and fourth pic down) for the pages last week when she and I were together on Tuesday. I thought she did a wonderful job on the paper and it was just perfect for the pages. She just does some amazing work.
Karen worked on two little books today. Her other book is at the upper left corner and will be included when I show a pic of all the books together. I apologize for not keeping better track this time of who's was who. Both of her books had stamping on them and so colorful. She made her pages on this one from pages Jan had made herself...beautiful colors.
This little book was so fun! I made inchies and little tags to fit inside each page. I still have to add some threads for a book mark and some charms and possibly something different to go on the front. The book on the right upper corner was made by Karen. She is so good at reusing to make something spectacular!
