~ Baby Shower Book & Goody Bags

September 10, 2012 by leasanders

Here is my second in a series of Bind-it-All minibooks made from patterned paper scraps. This project is a baby shower book for well-wishers to add their happy greetings.

I also made goody bags for all 35 of my co-workers plus a few extra for Katie’s family. See more photos of both projects in the slideshow below.

Here is my latest Bind-it-All project, just a spur-of-the moment “I need to make something” project. I’ll eventually put photos in the book but for now, here it is. =) The inside pages are tabbed acrylic while the covers are very thick chipboard. I pulled the flower off an affordable bunch I purchased at Michaels.

~ Valentine’s Day Card Class

February 7, 2012 by leasanders

Here are the photos from my first class of the year! Valentine’s Day tends to be a big draw for my office!

I kept the design of the card simple but provided a lot of paper and embellishment options for each of the participants to design their own unique projects. To ensure that the attention would be paid to putting the projects together instead of the mechanics of prepping the different pieces, I pre-cut/creased all of the paper and pre-assembled ribbon bundles.
