Circle Journal Swap VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

Creating Outside the Book Circle Journals are complete.  Everyone had a blast with this project.  We started the journals in January, and each month thereafter, a member from book club created a new page in another member's book.  There isn't a single page that is the same. 

I love my journal and am so happy to finally be able to take it home and really look at it.  It's a wonderful keepsake that will always remind me of my fabulous friends in our Book Club.

 

Look what our fearless leader, Elena made for us.  It's a personalized Book Club tote bag.  We each received one of these adorable bag.  It's a wonderful way for us to save the planet one plastic bag at a time.  No more shopping bags for our kits.  Bring your tote bag to Book Club every month.

 

 

 

We spent a much of our evening playing with the make and take.  Lots of fabric scraps, some trim...pick a color pallet, or theme, layer it together and you have an adorable embellishment for another project. 

 

Denise gave us the idea of adding them to our new Book Club totes.

 

 

 

The make and take design was taken from an article in the Somerset Memories magazine, which is our inspiration book for this cycle.

Elena's canvas is so cute.  She beautified a Suzi Blu stamp for the pretty girl and then added the flying piggy and the background.

 

 

Kat made a collage picture with a Girl in a garden of butterflies.

A few months ago, we had a button stack swap.  Everyone made button stacks and we each ended up with fourteen different button stack charms.  Elena brought us bracelets and Gaye quickly turned her stacks into this whimsical bracelet.
