Project - Ziploc bag album

I was going to try and add the link to the album kit from ClubScrap - if the link is broken, that means the kit has sold out. Each bag is a extra thick (not like a standard ziplock bag) ziploc style bag.

Very nice way to store those pages - this will be a great lil album for the teacher at the end of this year.

Project - Stack of 3 Book Boxes

This is the ClubStamp kit for the Common Threads kit. The the link stops working that is because the kit has sold out. Sorry, some of these kits are so fabulous and unfortunately 'limited' that they just don't last long.

Each one of these books open up and you can store whatever you like inside them.

Retreat 2009 - Workshop Class Project #3

Here is the project where we handstitched the journal and then did a faux leather binding on it.

Keep in mind that all of these projects I am posting are for retreat attendee's only or those who ordered the Retreat-In-A-Box, so unfortunately I can't share the instructions.

I highly recommend attending a retreat if you can afford it - it is the best trip ever with lots of pampering and fun, not to mention fabulous workshops!
