Hi Everyone, I am very happy to share with you my latest project, this project is a converted book, the book has been converted to what still looks like a book but it is actually a treasure box, shhhhhh. I picked up a very old book from my local second hand bookstore, it had one of those hard green vinyl covers, with gold trimming, it was $2 and with stinky old paper - PERFECT!. I am super happy with how this turned out, I shall now place it on my craft room shelf with my secret stash of scrappy spending money, shhhhhh.

Recycled some of my discarded prints to make some tiny booklets to go with the tiny books. I realized how much I like making tiny things :) And speaking of enjoying...my friend Yvonne Eijkenduijn over at The Yvestown Blog made a beautiful blog book that you can preview here.
I have finally completed my tutorial for the making of my Mandala Journal. I tried to keep it to three parts, but, well... you can skip certain parts if you aren't wanting to experience things like paper maché! I think I'll let the videos do the teaching, and wait for questions to come in - then, as they do, I will update this post and address them rather than try to guess at what I've left out - because I'm sure I've left some stuff out!! Part I goes over applying joint compound, or wall spackle, to your book board covers. Part II is the finishing of the spackle. Part III is the creation of the interior board pages, which are paper maché. Part IV, the final video is the actual binding process. Hopefully the hand out will help with the binding details - help yourself by printing them out. Click on image for full view and to print. For personal use only, please.

I am so excited, I have a new mini album I will be teaching at one of my local scrapbook stores. This alum is so pretty! It can be us...
I am a big fan of art journaling as many of you know. But with the swap taking up my time in April, it's been way too long since I wrote about my biggest obsession... So today I am sharing my latest hand bound book with you guys. It's an Art Journal with a free
Synopsis Expand/Collapse Synopsis This beautiful hardcover edition–containing all three cantos, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso–includes an introduction by Nobel Prize-winning poet Eugenio Montale, a chronology, notes, and a bibliography. Also included are forty-two drawings selected from Botticelli's marvelous late-fifteenth-century series of illustrations. The Divine Comedy begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year 1300. It proceeds on a journey that, in its intense recreation of the depths and the heights of human experience, has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity. Allen Mandelbaum’s astonishingly Dantean translation, which captures so much of the life of the original, renders whole for us the masterpiece of that genius whom our greatest poets have recognized as a central model for all poets. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman’s Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
This is the second year I have done this journal project with fifth graders in Saratoga Springs. I wrote about it last year, but in less detail than I plan to write about it today. This workshop da…

Amy Tan's new Signature Series book is a smashing success! Every page is eye candy and filled with inspiration from corner to corner. I had the opportunity to include a layout and a "PaigeBook" in Amy's book. I used only supplies from Amy's Ready Set Go line, naturally! HOME IS WHEREVER YOU 3 ARE Journaling says: No matter where we are in the world, whether near or far, as long as I am surrounded by my family, that is where I call "home." It's true - "home is where the heart is" and there's nowhere else I'd rather be! I love you all! How to: Start with a cream floral background. Trim squares from patterned papers, trim them into triangles, then cascade them down the top of the layout; stitch a line through each row using a matching color of thread. Tear a house page from a Daybook, back the heart and door with patterned paper and a "love" die cut, and hand stitch around the heart die cut with yellow floss. Place the house on the bottom of the page and add a photo on either side. Create a title above the photos, embellish with stickers, an accordion paper flower, journaling spot, and more. Supplies: Cardstock, patterned paper, stickers (ampersand, arrows, hearts, houses, letters, number), accordion paper flower, die cuts (arrow, flower, sentiment), date stamp, pen, adhesive: American Crafts; Floss: DMC; Ink: StazOn; Square punch: Fiskars; Sewing machine: Brother; Thread: Coats & Clark ********************************************************************** REMEMBER & SHARE THE LOVE PAIGEBOOK DAYBOOK This is a 5x7" handmade book with a copic style binding so it lays nice and flat when opened. Every signature is made with Ready Set Go patterned papers and colorful matching cardstock. I incorporated charms, knick-knacks, doodads, and Ready Set Go matte puffy stickers turned into charms into the binding. The front is embellished with a bunch of Ready Set Go stickers and embellishments. I stuck these on with major super glue to ensure they'll stay put forever and a day. I have a tendency to make books and not fill them up with anything, but perhaps I can use this book for a form of "project life" or make my own version of a "smash" book. Check out these projects and DOZENS more in Amy's book! Since I want to be Amy when I grow up, maybe one of these years I can have a Signature Series book :) A girl can dream right?!

Last year I took a wonderful book binding class at the International Printing Museum in Torrance. It was taught by Book Artist Lucia Frias Villarreal . She has a Masters degree in bookmaking, so I feel I learned from the best! She taught us Coptic binding which was developed in Egypt as early as the second century AD. Essentially it is a stitching method where you attach your pages "signatures" to your covers. I have collected several drink coasters from Chili's and thought they would make some great starter covers for my mini books. I had all of these wonderful Vintage images I collected to use for my Summer inspired projects, but didn't end up using all of them. So I printed out my favorites and started stitching away. Traditionally you would use a special waxed string. I ended up using bakers twine which I waxed myself using a tea light! I really loved how they came out. I used some vintage book pages from damaged books for my signatures. {coptic edges} {i love this vintage Barbie image} {inside the signatures you can see the bakers twine} {the pages are from old books, a toy collectors catalog and a family satire from the 70's} I am thinkin of offering this for a class at the Vintage. They are so fun to make, and a bit challenging! -Denise

Всем привет! Сначала обращение к жительницам Томска и окрестных городов) Меня пригласили к вам с мастер-классами в сентябре, все подробности в группе ВК. Записываться конечно нужно заранее! И покажу вам альбомчик - образец для ближайшего мастер-класса в Москве. Вот такая трухлявая обложка)) Знаю, что многим такая тема для МК интересна, сама я впервые делала подобную обложку несколько лет назад на МК Оксаны Есдал, и этот первый живой мастер-класс, который я посетила, меня невероятно вдохновил! С тех пор я сделала много "древних" блокнотиков, и техники уже другие использовала и материалы, но смысл всё тот же - имитация древней книжицы, как будто найденной где-то в раскопках) Внутри альбома, на 4 разворотах поучимся применять различные техники состаривания и создания всевозможных винтажных эффектов – потертости, кракелюры, фактуры, брызги и многое другое. Поработаем с черным и белым грунтом, текстурной пастой и трафаретами, акриловыми и меловыми красками, спреями Lindy's, горячим эмбоссингом, алкогольными чернилами и патинами, фольгой и трансфером изображений. Мне почему-то вот это безумие очень нравится, страшненькое такое, мимими))) И в конце я добавила тетрадочку для записей (на МК будем делать без неё, это просто в качестве идеи, можно дома добавить, при желании) Мастер-класс по этому альбомчику будет в Мемуарисе 19 июля, записывайтесь и приходите! Стоимость 3000 руб. Запись по телефону 8-926-277-14-77 с 10 до 19 или по E-mail [email protected] Пожалуйста, в теме письма пишите тему МК "Альбом «Старинная книга»". Не забывайте указывать свой номер телефона для связи.
