NEW Bee-Themed DIY Bookbinding Kits!!

Posted on July 14, 2017 by sproutspress

Meet the newest themed DIY Bookbinding Kits from Sprouts Press! These Bee Themed kits are inspired by our pollinator friends, who are so busy this time of year.

In this kit you get all the goods normally in my Bookbinding Kits, with the addition of bee-colours covers (1 black & 1 yellow), and a sample of some very sweet bee washi tape!!

These were created in a limited edition and only 5 remain! If you want one, follow the link below to get one and make your own beeautiful journals! (get it? BEE-autiful??)

Bookbinding Toolkits 2.0

Posted on July 11, 2017 by sproutspress

Doing a little update to the Bookbinder’s Toolkits of last year, v.2.0 will be out soon! I’ll list them on Etsy and keep everyone in the loop.

I’ve got another project I’m working on, to coincide with these toolkits. Can’t spill the beans just yet, but I am learning a ton and can’t wait to share!

Stay in the Loop

Posted on July 7, 2017 by sproutspress

I understand that not everyone is into social media, which of course is totally fine. But sometimes you still want to stay in the loop, which is why I write a monthly eNewsletter, delivered right to your inbox! I write about many things, all related to book arts; leading a creative life, inspiration, ideas to use your journals, and sometimes I share news about upcoming events, contests and workshops.

Sound like something you’re interested in? Sign up here by the end of this weekend to get this month’s newsletter!

Summertime Notebooks!

Posted on June 22, 2017 by sproutspress

A big welcome to summer here in Toronto! Also, a big welcome to the newest addition to Sprouts Press journals: Summertime Notebooks!

These are a mix of cheery, lighthearted and classic designs that reflect the season. They’re the perfect size for portability, to places like the cafe patio, the beach, camp and the cottage. Each book is finished with a gold trimmed label on the front, to label your adventures, stories or sketches.

The full line of Summertime Notebooks are being added over the next few days to my Etsy shop. Keep an eye on the ‘Soft Cover Books’ section, found here.
