This project was truly an honor to do. It was a combination portfolio and hand bound journal. It was made to present as a gift for the CEO of Bell Helicopter. The organization presenting the gift was American Huey 369, Inc. They are a Non-Profit Organization formed for the specific purpose of Paying Tribute to ALL Veterans and Patriots. They currently have plans to build a one of a kind National American Huey Museum. To date they've restored 2 Huey Helicopters and are currently restoring a B-model Gunship. To help them with this, or to read a truly inspirational story, you can visit their website American Huey 369. The journal had a pocket, on the left side, for DVD's, business card slots and a picture of the future museum. On the right side was a patch with their logo and a pocket for a calender. In the center were the hand bound pages. These displayed letters from veterans.

We strive to create the perfect gift or product for you, got a significant other who is hard to buy for, how about a custom daytimer which screams it’s mine.

For Custom Leather Portfolio With Diamond Sheridan Design In Canyon TanKerry is so so wonderful to work with. I sent her several logos and designs connected with my organization, and she suggested the most intricate design. In spite of the design's complexity and the extra time it would warrant, she was truly invested in offering an impressive final product. It's wonderful to see that kind of integrity in her artistic process!

For New BinderThis is the second leather binder I have had Kerry's Custom Leather create for me. It is exactly what I wanted. The craftsmanship is wonderful. It is sturdy, practical and beautiful.
I am a retired pastor, speaker, and wedding officiant. I use these binders every week.
Kerry has always been responsive to my requests and wonderful to work with.
I highly recommend her work.
