suki's page for lynn's book

I made my page from canvas, to match the soft feel of Lynn's cloth pages. I used wire to attach these little paper gatherings( I cant sew), gold pen to outline and small brads for decoration. I had quite a time getting the size right. I cut it down twice and then cut it too small. Except now it is actually too big. You need two tabs, one on either side of your page actually. It also took me forever to figure out how to attach my page to Lynn's so that the front faces out. I am not very mechanical.

I glued this piece of painted canvas onto the back of my page. I am soon mailing it off to Katie Jane.

  1. Suki, these are terrific. Love the canvas idea and you know I love brads! Me and my new grommet punch! Both front and back appeal to me greatly. So happy my book has taken on new pages and is off and rolling!
    Thanks for taking so much time to figure it out and put so much work into it. Much appreciated.
