Woodland Friends

I'm back, sorry I have been AWOL, it has been so hot in my Craft Room, it is south facing with a large bay window - lovely for most of the year, with lots of natural light and warm in the winter but so hot this past week that I haven't been able to get in it, thankfully it has now cooled down a little!


I have created this mini album with one sheet of A3 cardstock and a couple of sheets of the Graphic 45 Woodland Friends collection.  Above you can see the album closed, it is secured with a magnet, below is the inside of the album opened out.


This is the inside of the album with the flaps opened up to show three small pockets, each pocket has an ephemera/journaling card and a tag in it.


These are the three small tags.


I am taking part in another Online Craft Retreat being run by Clare from My Creative Spirit this weekend, we had the fist session last night and there are three more sessions today and three more tomorrow, we are creating a Bookstand, Album and a Post Bound Mini Book, hopefully I will get them all completed so that I can share them next week.

Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Love this gorgeous Album Pauline. Beautiful papers and love the tags and pockets, so pretty. I have trouble with the sun in the afternoon!! The blind comes down but even with a window open it still feels stuffy. Wish it would rain, it keeps missing us!! Haven't seen any for weeks. Have a lovely Sunday. Hugs, Carol S.xxxx

Hi Pauline, what a wonderful little album and I love the way it all folds together. Hope you enjoyed the weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing your makes and what paper collection you went with too.

Oh Pauline it is not nice this really hot weather is it, I have a fan on by my desk but when I am colouring or cutting I still find my hands becoming part of the paper so when I move the paper moves, lol, very frustrating and makes things feel hotter, I am glad that you managed to return to do some crafting because this is absolutely beautiful those papers look stunning I love it

Love your mix of papers and the neat little pockets.

Yes, it seems to be cooling down a little now here too, might even rain today .. .. looking a bit overcast. But having said that the gardens will enjoy it!

Have a good day.
