The cover of Kim's mini-book

I have been looking forward to seeing what our design team would do with this month’s mini-book. We’ve see what Grace did with hers, now check out what Kim created … a prayer book.

Here’s what Kim had to say about her project:

“I’ve been wanting to make (a prayer journal) for awhile — I knew immediately what I wanted to do with this when I saw it!

I actually took the book apart so I could work with the covers easier with my machine.  I just carefully spread apart the spiral — remembering exactly how it went back together — and took the pages out.

I used the vinyl Thickers for the “PRAY” title, but I first peeled the thin layer of adhesive off the back so it would not gum up my needle on my sewing machine — knew that from experience!   A little tip, if it does happen use some adhesive remover such as UnDu or Uh-Oh clean the needle and machine.  I also sewed pieces of the cute green fabric & felt ric-rack and made some little flowers on back with machine stitching (or you could hand stitch) and a few of the buttons from the kit.

After I had the covers like I wanted them, I added some pattern paper from June’s kit to the inside cover so it would hide some of my sewing mess!  I wanted to keep the inside pages pretty simple so I can fill them with my own prayer journaling or notes so I used some acrylic paint & black ink on the edges and then I just used bits and pieces of paper and embellies and my own handwriting to add some scripture about prayer on each page. 

An inside page

These would make great gifts for a Sunday School teacher or prayer partner but I may have to keep this one for myself! ”
