A Good Man - fun fold

SISTERHOOD TOP THREE AWARD




My Friday fun fold card is this one.
I came across a written tutorial for this type of card and thought I would give it a go.
I have made a video tutorial showing how to do it
over on my VIP Customer Group.
Feel free to join, even if you aren't a customer!

The side view gives an idea of the shape.


And inside there is a place to pop a gift card or money.
You could also add a verse and place to sign 
on the back of this flap.
This card is for a nephew who loves to relax by the sea down in Dublin
where he lives.

I am struggling to get over some kind of bug/virus at the minute.
I am just exhausted all the time and off my food.
But I do feel I am picking up a bit so fingers crossed.
OMG another storm heading our way this weekend.
I swear I have cabin fever this month!!
Be careful out there and God love those struggling in the floods.

Shopping List Book tutorial





My Tutorial today shows how I made these lovely
Shopping List Pads with Pen.
I picked up some of these shopping pads at a local Pound store.
They were pretty thick and had no covers so I split them in half
and made two from each pad. The pens were also £1 and came in a pack of 3.

I want to go to Paris with you.....


It's time for a new challenge over at
This time it is Sandie's turn to choose the theme, which is
PARIS!

I do not have any stamps which are Paris themed so had to delve into
my digi papers.
These came from Kathy's World Traveller images.

I cut the tag shape out twice using my Scallop Tag Topper punch.
Once in the french text and again with the Eiffel tower.
I printed out the ticket sentiment and 3d'd it to my tag.
It has been finished with some black baker's twine.

I would like to enter this into


We have been without internet all day.
I've popped on for a few moments but
hopefully we will be back to normal tomorrow!!
Thanks for leaving a comment xx
