I took a class with Tim Holtz on Monday and this is one of the projects from the class. It is a holiday book - with pocket pages that can be used for keeping mementos and other items for the holidays. It would make a nice gift for something - either empty for them to add their own items, or a special gift for someone where you filled it with various items (mementos and maybe some gifts). To create the book, we utilized some great techniques - the letters on the front are made by applying Ranger's silver paint dauber to black plastic letters, allowing that to dry, then applying Glossy Accents over the paint and allowing that to dry. Easy and inexpensive! It was a lot of distressing and combining, but created quite a unique book when finished.
This is the cover - you can see the tabs on the inside pocket pages sticking out the right edge. The book is held together with an elastic band that wraps around the knob on the front.
The side includes 9 pocket pages, made from Tim's enamel kraft paper - colored with Distress Stains. The tabs are made using one of his Sizzix dies. There are small pages where you could journal, write some inspiration or attach special photos to. the pockets would be perfect for little mementos or something like a gift card!
A fun little project that can be highly customized for any special recipient.
Thanks for making us part of your day today!
