Wow, have I been swamped this past week with custom orders! My poor blog suffered as a result. I was ashamed to see the last entry was on Valentine's day! Custom orders are a lot of fun and I enjoy the challenge the projects present. Most of the books I have made this week are wedding guest books.

When I started to stitch it together I found the spine wanted to collapse on me, so I had to add some sketch paper to the folios to make them more structurally sound.

This was a fun project and a very pleasant customer to work with! I really like it when my customers give me artistic license to come up with something creative within their guidelines of specific colors or sizes. This photo album was a variation on my Winter Damask Guest Book, done in portrait instead of landscape layout.

Thanks!
your books are so gorgeous. I can't wait until I have an occasion to need a book. Maybe I need one that I could just use as a journal. Anyway, just wanted you to know that I think they are gorgeous.
Awww, thanks Dana! And likewise, I've been admiring your stylish jewelry!
