Hi, welcome...
In front of my desk there's a window ledge, and on that ledge there's a book - the little book that inspired & prompted the #52bitesizedbooks project. The book is roughly the same size as the 52 but has many many more pages...
If you'd like a nosey through the book here's a little video...
If you have any questions pop them in the comments.
Thanks for stopping by
Hi
How are you today?
I have been getting all the details sorted for my #52bitesizedbooks project - I've loaded all the 'flick through' videos onto my 'Jo Firth-Young' YouTube channel, and in the future I'll add any bigger 'how to' videos I decide to make. Its all a learning curve, a little challenging, but fun!
If you'd like to visit my channel (and subscribe - that would be great, thanks in advance)... you can find it under 'Jo Firth-Young'.
This is all you need to get started....
Simple!
If you'd like to join me - making however many you like, whenever you like - use and follow the hashtag #52bitesizedbooks over on Instagram - I'd love to see what you fill your tiny books with!
If you have any questions please leave them in the comments.
Hi
I've just about settled into a routine of making and uploading my #52bitesizedbooks.
This week's book has a few die-cuts. To create a quote I die cut letters from pieces of coloured card stock and used the panels on one spread ....
and then used the die cut letters on a second page - it was its own sort of anagram - very happy accident!
Here is 4/52....
Thanks for popping in...
Hello
I'm really enjoying making these little books - I've had to stop myself finishing more than one a week!
I'm making little videos of each of them for the blog - these are going to be quite quick - less than 2 minutes (lol there are only 6 pages to show you!) accompanied by a nice soothing soundtrack... I was going to delete the noise of the pages turning but I actually quite liked that sound so I've kept it on... its a nice way to show the details (Instagram Reels only allows 15 seconds!!).
If you have any questions pop them in the comments.
aaanyhoo - here is book 2/52
Thanks for popping in
Well hello!!
Happy New Year!!!
New year, new project....
Each book measures approximately 2.5inches square-ish - give or take 1/2inch or so - made up of the bits and pieces that I can't seem to throw away because:
* they're interesting
* "aaw I loved this paper and don't want to throw it away"
* it looks useful
* I'd die cut extras
* I like a challenge
These 'books' - more like pamphlets really - are made of 3 pieces of paper/card (may or may not be accurately measured/folded - I'm embracing imperfection) folded in half and stapled in the middle... keeping it simple.
52 books - one for each week of the year... they are the signatures that will build up to be a book - not sure how I'll bind them together - that's a decision for further on in the project... very much depends on how big the project gets...
