Custom Wedding Guestbook

Besides the custom cake toppers, I was also given the privilege to sew a guestbook for the couple's wedding. The bride chose the fabric for the guestbook and I added the flower/ribbon on the elastic band  which are part of their wedding color theme.

The package has already arrived safely in the hands of the bride (yeay! I am always kinda nervous until the package arrives in the hands of the customer... safely..).

I actually "ingeniously" protected the flower/ribbon so that they will arrive in the hands of the bride the way it left mine :D

She wanted the back cover to be grey so that it doesn't get dirty when placed on the table for guests to scribble on .... the pages inside are all acid free Canson watercolor paper (cold press). I super love cold press watercolor paper; they have a delightful texture to them.

I used acid free glue and paper for my custom guestbooks unless otherwise advised by clients. Even the journals in my Etsy shop are made with acid free glue and paper (the paper are  100% recycled, acid free FSC certified paper).

A Journal for Emily

Recently, I received an email from a really nice customer enquiring if I am able to make a scrapbook/journal for his girlfriend who flies around the world. After a couple of emails are bounced between us, I started working on the project :)


He wanted to surprise his girlfriend, Emily, at the airport about a week from the time he emailed me and so we had a tight deadline :)

The cover has been mod-podged, sealed and varnished (3 layers of varnish) and I added nickel corners to protect the sides of the journal too.

The inside pages... they actually fold out so he has more place to put photos, ticket stubs and what nots when they travel together :)

There are 10 cities around the world that Emily travels frequently to and he wanted me to illustrate significant landmarks/things associated to those places... 

Can you recognize them?

It is and was a fun project!!! I love how they are going to make use of this journal to scrap their memories together.. how awesome is that? and the BF, my client, said he will update me on their pages when he can :)

How sweet of him, right? I hope Emily is happily surprised by his thoughtfulness and they are having a great time now :)
