A month or so ago, some friends of ours moved away from Texas. For their going away party, Kathleen had the brilliant idea of having a guest book there for everyone to sign. Great idea. So I came up with this guest book. I found this great blue and white fabric for the cover. The guest [...] So, they say there is a first time for everything. In April, I had a first: a funeral guest book. About a month ago Chris’ grandmother passed away. I made a special guest book for the family to use at the viewing and funeral service. Grandma’s favorite color was pink so I used a pink silk for [...] Here’s another recent handmade guest book I made. The bride, Jill, wanted a gold cover. This was a first for me, but I found the perfect golden silk without much trouble. Beautiful, don’t you think? The guest book is bound with the oatmeal waxed linen thread. Inside, the endsheets were golden with a white damask-type [...] I really enjoy making wedding guest books.
Kristina’s wedding colors were purple and green. Since purple was more favorite than green, that’s what I went with for the cover. I found a beautiful lavender silk for the front and back covers. Frankfurt paper is on the inside (my favorite!). The endsheets were white with [...] I just finished and shipped off this guest book for Mitchell College. They are hosting an author reception soon and commissioned this guest book for the event. The covers are navy linen and bound together with white waxed linen thread.

Tomorrow there is a very special party at my great auntie’s house. She’s calling it, Pink Party. On the surface, it’s a celebration of the pink dresser that was a Christmas gift given to her and her sister (my grandma) when they were girls. The pink dresser is famous in our family – [...] This is a sneak peek for Britten who ordered one of my handmade wedding guest books from PersonalizeYourWedding.com (my website). She chose a chocolate brown silk cover with butterscotch colored waxed linen thread binding. I added a title page at the front with a photo and their names, wedding date, and location. It turned out [...] Like I mentioned before, this guest book is in my top favorites. Can you blame me? Check out those endsheets. And the aqua silk covers. And the well thought out details with the song lyrics and engagement photos. Working with Alison to design this guest book was such a treat. Thank you Alison! Happy wedding! I love making books. Especially when I know the person who owns the book loves it as much as I do. That’s one reason working for Alison was such a joy! I just shipped her guest book to her this afternoon so I’m only posting a few photos now – I don’t want to spoil [...] |
