Taking on a Challenge...


…takes a bit of inter creative push.  
I got a referral that I could do binding of a scrapbook, so the challenge was on.

A box of 30 pages at 12 X 17 was presented to me to, bind with a cover and backing.
A lot of ideas that were suggested, supplies to get and  a mind set on were to start...



Taking the furniture mending thread that I got from a local repair shop I proceded to bind the pages togather to start with.

Then I took some 8 ply board from ...


...I taped the spine, front and back for reinforcment. Now it was punching holes which took a bunch of elbow grease. Ply after ply I got all 20 holes punched.
 Eyelets were added  to the holes for straight. I then went on to bind the front and back covers on.

For a final touch I added decorative corners. Sorry the finished book picture did not come out. It did look wonderful and I was surprised that I did it....and it is done!!

I am convinced that you are one of those people that knows that if they want to do it they can. This is amazing. I also can't believe how big Lillian is getting. Put a brick on her head and slow her down.
