New Wedding Albums
Amanda's Sage and Butter Yellow wedding is so beautifully classic for a spring wedding
Lesley's color combination makes me feel like I've had a refreshing drink of lemonade...just as she described! Definitely one of my favs!
I love Johanna's cool crisp version of fall
......and oh my goodness Audrey! I can't get over this striking color combination, I wish I could do my wedding over again just to have these colors!!
I just can't get over how much I enjoy working with the brides on these guest books...custom handcrafted work has such a wonderful way of bringing individuality and working relationships back into the product!
Check out my etsy shop for more custom albums and guest books

Custom Damask Wedding Guest Books

Fall Already?
This guest book has a brown silk with damask cut velvet pattern placed over an orange dupioni silk. To top off the fall colors of this album, it displays a simple orange satin ribbon on the front and is bound together with a reddish brown organza ribbon. The personalized monogram on the front has a watermarked lily in the background and is printed on a combination of shimmery fall colored cardstocks.
I love the texture and colors of this album, pictures just don't seem to do it justice. I can't wait to see what other custom orders fall weddings will bring.

Summer!
I also want to have another baby in hopes it's a girl just so I can copy this etsy customer's choice of colors in her baby girl's room....well maybe not that bad, but it is pretty fantastic!

This one is covered in a Apple Martini dupioni silk and purple sheer with tangerine flower print placed over a deep purple taffeta.
Of course, the perfect place to photograph this album....the Japanese Garden right here in Spokane!

Sadie
Thanks for taking the time to give Sadie the attention she has so desperately wanted!
Sadie is normally a little shy, but she insisted I help her show her more playful side this time.
“I want bright, and I want to stand out!!” she begged in a fashion that is quite unusual for her.
“I’m happy to oblige,” I responded understanding no one likes to be overlooked, “but I do need to make sure you still have the basics.”

Sammy
“A girl or a boy?” I asked the happy little giraffe on the front.
“What do you mean?” Sammy looked back at me quizzically.
“Are you for a girl or boy?” I asked having a hard time telling what exactly Sammy was for.
“Both!” Sammy responded with a tone that seemed a little offended. “My name is Sammy after all!”
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you” I quickly stated with an apologetic tone “It’s what’s on the inside that that really matters anyway” I added trying to make up for my previous faux pas.
WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE:
~Carefully handmade from scratch~Book measures 11 x 7 (w x h) with 1 1/2" spine~Page display measures 8 1/4" x 6 1/2"~Ribbon Bound~Heavy weight, archival quality, acid free cardstock and Binders Board ~Fabric protector~Carters “Animal” blanket~25 sheets(50 pages), each hinged with satin tape to fully open for display ~Built in page spacers to prevent stress to the spine when filled with photos ~Photo corners ~Coordinating tag with book description

WSU Craft Fair
Best of all, I had so much fun sharing the experience with Lacey from strawberrypearl!
My very talented mom, owner of Sycamore Shades, made this apron for me to wear at the fair...beaded pocket, handmade ribbon flower, and all! If you think this is great, you should see her lampshades! Check them out in downtown Spokane at Revival Lighting or in LaConner, WA near Seattle at Mary Davis Lighting.

Bertie
Thanks for noticing my new little friend!
Just as I was adding the last finishing touch of blue ribbon, a little robot rolled right out front and center on this book. He might have gone unnoticed if it weren’t for the little dog tagging along that loves to bark!
“What are you doing here?” I asked surprised at the sheer blissfulness at which he seemed to do everything.
“My name is Bertie, and I’m just rolling through” he said with great delight. His joy seemed to be contagious, and I could tell he must really be someone that is fun to have for company.
“Would you stay longer?” I asked, “After all, it is very plain and boring when you’re not around.”
“I would love to stay!!” he was excited at the chance to do something new, “but what will I do?”
“You just roll around and play with your little dog, and I can do the rest!” I answered so excited he accepted my invitation.
The Rest:
~heavy weight, acid free cardstock and Binders Board
~fabric protector
~25 sheets (50 pages), each hinged with satin tape and page spacers
~Photo corners
