Saturday's bookbinding class . . .

Saturday's bookbinding class will begin at 10:30 am.  

I'm excited to share this cool concept with you. 

In addition to basic supplies you will need:

• Scor-Tape.  I used the 1/4" size for the pages and the larger size (1/2" or 1") for the binding. Using Scor-Tape for the individual pages will save you time. A good wet glue such as Beacon 3-in-1 can be used for the binding. (We sell both at For Keeps Sake.)
• Ruler & pencil
• Craft knife
• Crop-a-dile or other small hole punch that will go through 2 pieces of cardstock at one time.
• Score board. Martha Stewart is my favorite and works the best for this project. (We do sell them at For Keeps Sake if you need one tomorrow.)
• Whatever two pieces of decorative paper you want to use for the inside covers. 
• Your lunch! Not sure we will get the entire book put together before lunch so please plan on bringing your lunch or at least a snack to tide you over.  We have a refrigerator and microwave you are welcomed to use. If you're new to the For Keeps Sake area, there's a delicious Chinese restaurant next door, St. Louis Bread Co (Panera) just up the street as well as a McDonald's, Subway and Jack-In-The-Box.

I plan this class to last from 10:30 am until 4:30 pm. We will probably finish putting the book together before 4:30 pm. If you'd like to bring all your papers with you and decorate the pages please do so. Thanks for signing up for this bookbinding workshop.

PS: Hope all of you know this is one of my *use your stash* workshops. I will supply the basic chipboard and cardstock (and of course directions) to put the book and pages together. You BYO paper to decorate the cardstock pages.

See you tomorrow

Hi, I do love patriotic but I have a mini I'd like to make for a gift, may I bring another pad of paper? What size pad would I use, if you grant me my wish, my queen of inspiration? This way I won't have to worry about getting my gift done.

Carolyn, did you already sign up for the class? If you have, everyone is bringing their own decorative paper. It's your book and you can use whatever paper you wish.
