  • Sandra

    Owner, Designer, Maker

    Hello! I'm Sandra, pleased to meet you! Funny and sensitive: two words that describe best who I am. When I'm not crafting, you'll find me either reading a book, watching YouTube videos, meditating, attempting to cook or thinking about crafting...

Custom made items take 2 weeks to make. (10 business days)
Then, there's shipping transit to add:

CANADA 1 - 3 business days

If schedule allows, I might be able to create a book inside the 2 weeks frame. If you're in a hurry, contact me and I'll be happy to accommodate whenever possible. Some fees may apply.

What is coptic stitch binding?

Coptic binding or Coptic sewing is a method of bookbinding employed by early Christians in Egypt, the Copts, and used from as early as the 2nd century AD to the 11th century.

It requires no glue and allows the book to lay flat when open. Perfect for lefties (like me!). The nature of the binding makes a book that is not stiff, as opposed to a glued spine. That is especially due to the spine not being covered.

Can I use the guest book as a photo guest book?

Yes! I offer many different pages configuration options. All the details are in the item description! P.S.: I have more options that are not listed. For example, a page that accommodates a 4" x 6" photo landscape orientation with lines below the photo. If you can't find what you need, message me I might have it!

Do you offer lined pages option?

Yes! I offer lined pages with "Guests" header or without header. Refer to the item description for all the details on the different options. If you can't find the page design you're looking for, contact me I might have it!

Can I use a Super Fine Tip Sharpie?

Yes! I use card stock pages thick enough for the super fine Sharpies. Tested and approved! :)

What do you recommend to adhere photos?

There are a variety of acid free/photo safe accessories available. Photo corners, photo squares, adhesive photo sleeves, double sided tape rollers, washi tape.
I carry clear photo corners and photo squares. You will find them in the "Accessories & Upgrades" section of my shop.

How are the pages counted?

Each side of a sheet is a page. For example, if a book is listed with 64 pages, it will have 32 sheets with both sides being a page for a total of 64 pages :)

Plastic Photo Sleeves?

Unfortunately, the nature of the binding of my guest books doesn't allow for the use of plastic sleeves.

All my books are created with thick smooth card stock pages. Card stock page photos albums offer versatility in photo placement. It also allows you to be creative and customize your book to your liking and style. Paste your photo centered on the pages and enjoy the beautiful minimalist look of the large white border around your photo. Or, if you're the creative type: write on the pages, caption your photo, add stickers, paste mementos, etc. Oh the possibilities...

Please refer to the item details section for page design options specific to the book you're interested in.

Gift wrapping and packaging

Gift wrapping option is offered at check out for a small fee. Your item will come in white wrapping and metallic gold ribbon tied in a bow. Any gift note will be printed in black. The card features a print of a little stamp with hearts. You can see a sample photo of my wrapping at check out.
