Gift Wallet

Good morning, today is Bugaboo's Anything But a Card Monday and I've got a gift wallet I made for a friends birthday to show you!

I've had fabulous marble paper I wanted to use and this wallet showcased it perfectly! I used Bugaboo's JJ Shopping - Shopping Diva for the front of the wallet

There are 4 pockets in this wallet, I filled one with this Shopping Diva

Two with a Birthday Gift poem and money and left one empty

In hindsight I would have loved to put magnets in but instead I used a heart clip to keep it closed.

I gave this poem with the money. I found many different versions on the internet but tweaked it to something I liked. 

So I want to make another gift wallet and do you think I can find the link to the tuturial...NO. So when I find it I'll add it here!

Come back tomorrow for a peak at the New Release, its totally adorable!

Recycled Binder

Good morning, today is Bugaboo's Anything but a Card Day 

and I've made a photo album by covering an old binder that held disks for my computer. I was cleaning out a closet and was going to throw this away and then thought haaaay I've got an idea, lol!

The inside had sleeves for computer disks which I removed. 

I used the most gorgeous crinkled paper and dp from Michaels to cover the outside and then printed Bugaboo's Beautiful Blocks - Live Love Laugh twice so I could pop up the flowers. 

I'm so glad I didn't get rid of the binder and I'll be posting photos of the inside pages as they get done!
