Kathryn's upcoming "Love Files" class teaches four classic bookbinding techniques! Join her at Crops Plus this January to make the unique dos-a-dos style album from this series and get the instructions for three more albums and a storage box as a bonus!

“Dos-a-dos” is French for "back to back" and refers to a traditional bookbinding style popular in the 18th century where two books share one spine. In this class, Kathryn will show you how to get this unique look with Kraft-Tex and watercolor paper. This 4 ½” x 6 ½” album is perfect for an art journaling, for filling with 4"x6" photos to give as a gift or just throw it in your purse and carry your memories with you. The two books can be used to show two sides of one story for a fun twist on album design.

In this class, you'll get the Kraft-Tex, watercolor paper and snaps you need to make a dos-a-dos album of your own. Kathryn will be on hand to walk you through the sewn spine and will have all the traditional book binding tools you need. As a special BONUS, you'll also receive the entire upcoming (to be released in February) Love Files tutorial which includes three additional book binding methods and a storage box you can make at home.
