Using project examples from Shereen LaPlantz's book 'Cover to Cover' I created these delightful journals at our Northland ABC meeting this week.

A wild wintry day
Now that I have got into the regular habit of posting items of interest on my Facebook page I have decided it's time to resurrect my blog. From now on I hope to put those items here so that anyone can comment, instead of only Facebook users.
Today has been a pretty rough one weather-wise here in the Far North, but I have been safely tucked up most of the day at home, playing in my bookbinding room (aka The Office/Spare bedroom) putting the final touches to the embossed star book I began a couple of ABC (Association of Book Crafts) meetings ago and thinking about what we can work on next week when we meet again.
Embossing a book cover creates texture and visual interest. For this one I used stars cut slightly larger than the ones on the tissue covering, using a double layer of light card so that they popped! The spine is made from a piece of lovely soft black leather and the pages are black photo paper. Perfect for holding photos or writing special quotes.
