Last Saturday, a few of my daughter’s girlfriends and myself put on a shower for Carrie and her brand new twin girls.  What a fun day we had!  The twins were passed around from one person to the next to be fed, burped and snuggled.  They seemed to bring such happiness to whomever was holding them at the time.

As favors for the attendees, I made individual mini-scrapbooks.  They were done with a LAGUNA binding and covered with various papers, adhesive backed fabrics, etc. that I had in my stash.  The books came out so nice and everyone seemed to love them (how can you NOT love a tiny book?).

Laguna bound books

A very special thank you to my friend, Marcia, for making all the book blocks.  My job was much, much easier because of her generosity.  And a thank you to Kathy Shepherd, co-owner of the CREATIVE QUEST, for teaching me what is probably my favorite binding!

 This wee book was made by Janet Klein and uses many of her rubber stamp images.

Janet loves making books of any size and format and made this one just like a ‘big’ book, but tiny.  It has signatures and stitches and all the ‘parts,’ but miniscule.  You can see Little Friends on the front cover, Lissi on the back, and Girls’ Stamp on the spine.  Various images are used throughout the pages.  Janet added a bit chalk and some ’scumbling’; her version of scribbling!  Thanks Janet!
