Memories

Hi every one, thank you for returning to my blog,


Todays post is a small Photo File Folding Album cased from Andrea Walford.
I have had to virtually create the album from scratch as we do not have the file folders in Perth that Andrea used. You can still use local files and cut the tabs at the bottom.
The beauty of using files is that they are wide enough to create the album and are relatively cheap.
Do have a try at making these albums as they are quite easy and fun to give as a gift to someone special.
Happy creating,
Gail.

Easy and Quick Card

Hi to all in blog land,

This is an easy and fun card to make with nice clean lines for when you need to make a quick card.

Keep it simple and maybe use different colours, I like the combination of the colours I used but think any colours would be just as nice. It would be nice if you leave a comment and suggestions of stamp sets or cards you would like to see.

Enjoy this little card.

Gail.
