A simple card

 Hi!  Happy Monday! 

It's cold and grey here today but it's been a good day! Just back from a lovely lunch with my daughter and now spending some time in the craft room.  I don't think my mojo is quite back yet so I just had a look through random dies to see what I could do.  I found this set from Sizzix (664360).  It's actually for a 3d flower pot but the flower works well on it's own too. I've used a card size that I very rarely ever use - just for a change.

No scrap too small!

 Hi and happy Sunday! 

I'm sat here in my happy space surrounded by an overwhelming stash of supplies.  What do I do? Something that barely makes a dent - but brings so much joy - I use up some scraps!   I've crafted three little "memory" books with chipboard covers, matted and layered pages, little inside pockets, and z-fold spines.  These are so easy and rewarding to make!  The larger one is 4"x 4", and the smaller two are 2" x 2".  Even working with these smaller dimensions is a breeze!  It's hard to believe these scraps could have ended up in the bin! 

But here's the best part; these mini memory books make perfect gifts. Imagine handing someone a beautifully crafted, personalised book filled with shared memories, quotes, or even small photos.  It's a heartfelt gesture that shows you care. Plus, the creative process itself is incredibly relaxing and fulfilling.  Each book can tell it's own story, capturing moments and turning what could have been waste into something truly special.  Happy crafting!
