Garden themed folio


I'm in the process of making a bunch of items for my
daughter to bring to her table at Q-Con,
which is a big comic/gamer con at Queen's University
in Belfast. Lots of kids are brought there by parents
so I thought these might be nice to give away to the suffering parents.
 Last year I did a load of worry worms
but this year I thought I would do some folios, miniature books
and needle felted monsters.

This is one of the folios with a garden theme.
Great for using up my stash!
The front has a pocket, metal corners and ties with a ribbon.



On the back I added some linen thread, torn papers
and a little watering can charm.
Inside I have created note books and the last book
has a few pages for each season in the garden.


You can watch a quick walk through video here
for the insides.



Items used
Stamp sets - Enjoy Life, Love this moment, tabs for everything,
poinsettia petals and Itty Bitty Christmas (all SU).
Papers - K & Co scrap pad.
Inks - distress inks - peeled paint, shaded spruce (SU)
sewing machine, eyelets, ribbon, pearls, vellum and
old diary pages.


I would like to enter this into
Neglected stash used - eyelets, charms, paper pack, beads.
