Create a 6x10” mini book using exclusively designed clear embellishments and unique
cutting and trimming techniques to create a deceptively simple mini-book that is perfect
for compiling random memories. Book is organized into ‘chapters’ that separate events or
people and unifies them in a comprehensive book. Great to capture a year, or a season or
just ANYTHING! Great gift idea! Kit is created from bright blues and greens: Bazzill

sticky backed canvas. Book is bound using either a crop o dile and book rings or a Zutter
Bind it all machine.

Time and Season book:
3 hours Friday Oct 23 1-4pm
$60 retreat attendees…$75 non retreat attendees
this 6x12 book can be used for all different subject matter.. but mostly capturing the
HERE and NOW. The use is a combination of journaling and compiling inspirational
quotes and pairing those quotes with photos that you have or can capture of your world
around you! Book is made up of exclusive inspirational page elements, put together in
clever ways. It’s one of those projects that captures the journey, and when you look back
on it, you’ll be so grateful that you took the time to add to it along the way. It will serve
to motivate and inspire… and be a treasure for years to come. Class will include a miniworkshop
on journaling along with some great prompts to write about to capture the here
and now, and some tips on HANDWRITING! We’ll be glimmer misting and stamping
and creating something you’ll LOVE to look at!
