I don’t think I’ve shown this card up close yet….if I have, SORRY!
This is one of my last creations for my free class using the Love You Much Bundle.

For this little notebook, I actually made a false cover using a piece of heavy duty cardboard and my Top Note die with Sizzix Big Shot. I then covered that [...]

Thought I’d try to squeeze one more entry in for Kristina’s Colour Inspiration Challenge this weekend.
The card base is Pretty In Pink and it is layered with a piece of Summer Picnic Designer paper (with a Ruby Red layer underneath). I corner rounded two corners of this layer and added two Ruby Red brads. I [...]
