Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine day to all,


"Love yourself and others will love you."


Have a day of loving all around you, a special someone, family, pets, friends, neighbours and last but not least yourself. Enjoy every moment.


Last week was our first class for 2012 and good fun was had by all.
We made a very special card and a treat box for Valentine's day as well as two small cards.
The Thinking of You Stamp and Love Blossom Wheel are so pretty and would look wonderful stamped in any colour. I think they would make the most beautiful wedding or engagement card, not forgetting the uses that you could get out of them for scrap-booking.


The next class will be on the 8th March
10.00am to 12.00am and 7.00pm to 9.00pm
We will be making cards and treats with an Easter Theme

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.

Files from any office supply store (I chose black)
