Make a minibook of course...
I've been struggling for a few days to think of some ideas for making cards and returning to work Monday doesn't seem to have helped the motivation...so I thought I'd just have a play and this is what I came up with...
...a little BIA bound 6x6 inch minibook. I've only made the basic book but it was fun using up bits and pieces from my stash.
A little bit of decorative border punching - this one is from EK success (not sure what it is called) - and a fair bit of distress inking.
Some torn paper pockets to tuck stuff into.
Some PP matts with rounded corners.
A bit more border punching...
...and a bit of fancy frame work.All fairly simple and straight forward with the punching, matts and pockets being repeated again to create a suitable number of pages. I will add more trims and embellies once I have decided what photos I'm going to use but for the time being it was just nice to get something made.
Think I'll get the knitting needles out and make a couple more scarves - that might help to spark the old imagination a bit...............................

Glorious book Toni, I am starting to get serious withdrawl symptoms from paper crafting, too much hook and wool lately! Did not stop me having a little spend last week, the goodies arrived today, so I might just get tempted to play soon!

Oh! Now this is fabulous! My plan for this year is to make some albums and I'm pretty excited. I just hope I follow through on my plan now, I can get sidetracked.
