Another mini-book

I still can't stop myself from making these little books! I just find it fascinating that a piece of 12 by 12 can fold into such a lovely book.This is a thank you for a friend. Hope she likes it!


I embellished the front with some lovely beads from Prima and a Stampin' Up sentiment.


I turned a couple of pages down and secured with a brad to make an open pocket.



Then stuck the open edges down to make slots for the note cards I made to go with it.
I'm going to pop this on Handmade Monday-see Helen I remembered with no nagging this week!

    These mini books are brilliant - I can see this as a great way to give theatre or concert tickets as a gift - tucked into one of those pockets...

    Sharon- I just so love this and feel very honoured that you made it for me. I can't stop looking at it and touching it and I'm looking forward to decorating it inside with small photos and other mementos
