May 22 - BIRD HOUSE BOOK

Richele Christensen at The Stamp Art Shoppe in Roseville taught us how to make this sweet book.

We used Tim Holtz products from Ranger including crackle paint and grunge board. We also used black chipboard and the "bind-it-all" machine. This was a great project, but when I bind things I prefer my regular office-style binding machine. I like the wire spine that we used with the "bind-it-all" but the process was a little much. Many people like it so maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it?

Here are several images of the completed book:

There are simpler machines for different styles of book binding but none of them would look as good as these. The wire binding is definitely the most artistic. Nice work with design as well.
