Joyful Seasons - A Class with Jennifer Priest



Fall and Christmas are my favorite times of year. I love the chilly weather, the baking, the decorations, the many reasons and occasions for the family to come together....it is a joyful time!


"Joyful Seasons" is my Christmas mini album this year. We will be creating this book 100% from scratch using chipboard, paper,the Bind It All, and book binding tape. We'll also be machine sewing vintage book diecuts, gilding everything in Metallic Kim Gold (my fave paint color) and layering lots of embellies, diecuts, and goodies. If you have a favorite book or holiday sheet music you would like to use, bring it to class. I will also have on hand some pages from vintage books you can use as well.

A Haunting We Will Go

I love halloween! It's one of my favorite times of the year.  I love carving pumpkins, seeing my kids get dressed up and trick or treating.
Here's a quick and easy Bind-it-All mini album celebrating all things scary and creepy.
For the cover, I used a die cut paper and simply cut it to the size I needed it, added some halloween graphics and title and you have a quick title page.
For the inside, I kept it really simple and added one picture wrapped in twine and one or two embellishments. 
 Celebrate Halloween this year with a quick Bind-it-All mini album!

Colorful, Quick & Custom

 I made this project for a dear friend of mine who was changing jobs. This book is for her friends and co-workers to write their well-wishes in. Try repurposing things in your projects. The flowers inside the book are actually table confetti that I found in the bridal section of the craft store. They made perfect embellishments. You can find lots of items for your projects that weren’t packaged for scrapbooking.

With some brightly colored paper, and simple tools like border punches, you can create dazzling pages to showcase photos and other memorabilia.  Of course, your Bind-it-All makes creating custom books easy as ever!

Zutter Products:
Zutter Tools Used: Bind-it-All
Owire Size & Color: 1” Antique Silver

Other Materials:
SEI - patterned paper, epoxy stickers, brads; Bazzill – textured cardstock; EK Success – foam alpha stickers;Prima – flower;flower table confetti 
 

See if you can create your own colorful book for someone special (you, perhaps?)
