Keepsake Journal for Ladybug Crafts Challenge - Anything but a card!

1:56 AM |

Good Morning Everyone and

Happy New Year to you all !!!!

Today is the start of a new Ladybug Crafts Challenge and this time the theme is

Anything but a card
(or for those of you who really want to make a card, make it a shaped one!)

The prize for the lucky winner will be a £10.00 voucher to spend online at Ladybug Crafts

I decided to have a go at making a Keepsake Journal inspired by one that I saw in the Nov/Dec issue of the Do-crafts Creativity magazine. (It is on page 34 and there are templates included for the pockets.) I adapted the shape and decorated it differently.
I think the idea is to store little tags inside but I haven't really decided what I will use my for yet, I may give it to someone as a gift.

Sorry for showing you so many pictures, I found this so tricky to photograph.
