Being a deomonstrator, we have access to a lot of awesome resources to some wonderfully creative ideas to help along the way.. I got this idea out of the July Stampin Success magazine. I am like a sponge for new ideas. I loved this and it was so easy to make. It is like a mini brag book to include pictures in that you can keep in your purse, on a scrapbook page.. a little gift. When opened, there are 4 photo pages for photographs and its ready to easily embellish. I need to get some pictures together. I added velcro on the bottom but I was not thinking (blonde moment) when I did it and it was showing when the matchbook was closed. Ugh! So, I sorta hid it with the ribbon that I stuck to the bottom. One thing I enjoy about paper crafting – there is always a way to fix a mistake! LOL (and I make a lot of those).
Supplies used:
Crumb Cake and So Saffron Cardstocks
Newsprint DSP
