Birthday Girls at The Cutie Pie Challenge

I might have mentioned that I am branching out a bit in my papercrafting and have made several folio/journal type projects. The new theme at

this month is Birthday Girls 

so it's the perfect opportunity to share a lovely little gatefold folio that I made from a kit that I bought at My Porch Prints, it's called Cottage Girls and is absolutely adorable.

Here is the front

the kit is complete with all the little tags and ephemera so I had a lovely time fussing with the bits and pieces. 

Here it is unfolded

I think it would be a lovely way to present a gift card or real life money too!!

I hope that you will support the Cuties and join our Birthday Girls challenge this time. This prize is up for grabs as its our Birthday!!

See you there xx
 

Autumn Colours

The mornings are chillier and darker so I guess Autumn must be on it's way in the northern hemisphere. That leads me nicely to the optional theme at Allsorts Challenge this week

AUTUMN COLOURS, Anything Goes is welcome too.

I made hidden paperclips using a kit from My Porch Prints. I'd forgotten how relaxing fussy cutting can be and it was lovely to faff about with them to arrange on the little sleeves. These will probably be added to journals and/or greeting cards. The paperclip is, as the name suggests, hidden between the layers of paper so can be attached anywhere. They would actually make a rather fancy bookmark.

There are Lavinia stamps as prizes for the next couple of challenges so well worth an entry or two.

Thank you for your visit, it's much appreciated xx
