Description:

My current craft craze is making handmade books. I just finished making a coptic stitch journal but wanted to focus on smaller and quicker books.

I love all the stuff on the PaperVine blog and the tutorial I'm going to be using is this one. It's made using one 12x12 piece of scrapbook paper! How awesome is that?! I don't scrapbook but have lots of scrapbook paper. If you don't have scrapbook paper, I'm sure you can use plain paper as well, something a bit thicker than copy paper will be best. If you use plain paper, please decorate it for your partner. Even if you use patterned paper, you can also add more to it too. You don't have to add anything to the pages, your partner can fill it with photos or notes or whatever they want. Have fun with it!

If you have other links for mini books, please feel free to use those and post it in the comments.

If I left anything out or if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Since everyone in this group is awesome, I don't think we need to worry about flakers and low ratings. If you run into problems getting the swap out on time, just let your partner know!

I'll give 2 weeks for sign ups and send by will be in January so we have time to play after the holidays!

So exciting! I made 6 of these today already! I can't wait and will be following this blog from now on. Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention.

So are you just making the book and leaving it empty?

luluvision 12/10/2012 #

Yes, you will be making the book and leaving it empty for your partner to fill!

So glad you are having fun with it!! I love that blog too!

Just to clarify - we're making & sending 1 mini book to one partner, right? No minimum number of pages as long as its made from 1 piece of 12x12" paper, correct?
