I have a wee Bon Voyage Card to share with you today, I was asked to make this for a friend at work, her friends are emigrating to Australia…

There were a few key elements to incorporate into the card including a Pina Colada..

Supplies used:-

• White Card Base 11″ x 5.5″ scored at 5.5″ to make a 5.5″ square card
• Bright & Cheery Patterned Paper
• First Edition Die Set which includes a pina colada cocktail glass
• Stitched square die
• Memory Box Alphabet Die Set

I also popped an Australian flag in the top right hand corner of the card ..

This was a fun card to make.

Hold on tight to your dreams…

Hi Everyone..

I altered three wee notebooks today..

I bought these a while back at Stampers Grove, they are great to alter and I also got to use that new kraft and black paper pad that I had bought from the Range last month.

I kept them very simple, they are a great size for sticking in your handbag/purse so didn’t want to embelish them too much

I cut the paper to size which was 2.5″ x 4″

then inked all round the edges of the books and the patterned paper in black archival ink

I applied scortape all round the reverse side of the patterned paper and stuck to the front and back pages of the books

Then I finished them off with some Tim Holtz small talk stickers

A nice quick and easy project for a sunday morning 🙂

As always thank you for popping round

Big Post It Note Cover & Tutorial

Hi Everyone!..

I have another project to share with you today … a cover for a big post it note, I have Robyn to thank for putting this idea into my head yesterday at the Mini Album Workshop.

The cover I made yesterday for the workshop is the same but on a smaller scale, this is only 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″

The patterned paper is gorgeous .. I got this yesterday too it is Graphic45’s Safari Adventure.. I also made another mini album last night when I got home using this same paper line, and again it is a smaller scale mini, but I will share that with you next week.

If you would like to make one too, I have a video tutorial below, plus you can get the post it note blocks from Asda for £1.00 🙂

I hope you have had a great weekend and I will be back next week with more projects.

p.s. I will be at stampers grove this coming saturday and we will be making coffee sleeve books if you fancy popping along 😀

Thanks for popping round

Here is the finished box complete with tag and chocolates 🙂
