Sock Monkey Themed Advice Book

It must be shower season! The requests for baby and bridal shower advice books have been coming in this spring. This one was a fun change for me. I haven't seen a sock monkey in years!

For a Bridal Shower

A few times, I am asked to make something to be passed around at a bridal (or baby) shower for guests to write pearls of wisdom and well wishes into. I always include quotes and poems in the books to fill some empty spaces, too. This time, we added some party favor embellishments to the order, with the xoxo flags and flowers to go under cake pops. That was fun!

Here's my latest take on the idea:

You have to imagine that the stick is white and instead of a cotton
ball there's a beautiful culinary cake pop delectable.

Also, the title is hard to see because I added a pearl shimmer to the ink.
Gorgeous, but didn't photograph well because it reflects the light.
It says, "Happily Ever After tips"

Just wanted to do a closeup shot of the
"ghost" stamping I did here. 

See the pearl shimmer?

"After" Pictures... What I've Been Working On

 The little book turned out so cute I think! It will be used at a bridal shower for writing advice to the bride. I filled a few of the pages with some quotes about love and left empty pages for the guests to fill. This was the first time I had worked with a flap on the front cover, but it turned out great.

 I was in a bit of hurry when I took the pictures, so I have to apologize for them. I also forgot to take any close-ups of any pages. My son had to help me to hold the book open as there isn't much of substantial weight to hold the notebook open!

The paper I used was from parts of my old stash, I don't even know a brand, but it was an all black & white collection. To add the red, I sprayed some of the papers with alcohol ink. It added a nice touch as I was able to also spray the flowers, so they were an identical match! "I love it when a plan comes together!"

What I'm Working On

It's not much, just a small project. I've been asked to make a small book for a bridal shower. The bride's colors are black, white & red. The book is a small notebook for advice for the bride.

Hopefully, I'll have pictures of the finished project next week!
