FINISHING OFF THE BLOG FOLDER

You will remember that I've been sharing some of the remaining items that have been lurking in my blog folder for some time. 

First up a birthday mini book for my friend's daughter

I send them blank with lots of add ons and some double sided tape so she can fill it full of photos relating to birthdays and parties etc. 

The inside of the book was quite simple as the papers were really effective, the book is in the style of the one I created for the Wear Crafts National Scrapbook Day in 2014

And these are a selection of the pages and pockets

Here is the link that relates to the original post with a downloadable instructions for this book if you fancy a go yourself

I also did some fun mail art last October, when asked to do a guest blog post over on the Weird Scissors Blog, check out their blog here

And finally the UK Scrappers stocking I put together last year with some of the contents, the main reason for sharing it, is that it's the first time I've made a stocking and I was rather pleased with the finished result

Hope you have a happy scrapping day!

CHRISTMAS JUNQUE???

Good morning, well I've been sharing things that have been lurking in the blog folder for a while.  Just before Christmas I joined in a junque journal hosted by Rebecca where we needed to put together two covers and 25 pages to send to her, along with other participants, Rebecca then proceeded to swap around the papers punch and book ring them and send them back all ready to use!
