Hello Everyone

I hope that you are all well. Apologies for being missing this month but life has just been really busy on my end.

Today I have a Brag Book to share, using the Days Gone By collection from FabScraps.

I created this little book for my niece who had her matric dance a while back.

Let's start with the cover. I used purple as my accent colour to match her dress colour, which was purple.

I used the gorgeous heart chippie from FabScraps and then some gorgeous flowers from Little Birdie Crafts, along with die-cut leaves from FabScraps cardstock.

You can see below how the inserts fit into the folders created by the pages. I created 3 of these inserts.

I used resin pieces I have had for ever, along with some FabScraps stickers and the gorgeous FabScraps rose stencil.

Here are the 3 inserts that I created.

I have left some spaces for her to write some notes and also add some of her memento's.

Again, on this page I created little pockets with tag inserts for some wording etc.

On the last pages, I used some more FabScraps chippies, along with stamps and stickers.

This little booklet is the perfect size to pop into a handbag and pull-out easily to show friends and family.

I really hope that she will like it.

Thank goodness it is Friday and I am really looking forward to the weekend.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend and also find some scrappy, crafting, relaxing time! :-)

Cheers for now
