WOYWW - 29 February 2012

It seems so strange to be writing 29th February - it is a date that you don't really think about as it only happens once every 4 years.

Just imagine if your birthday happens to fall on 29 February - would you choose to celebrate once ever 4 years or pick a Un-Birthday date to use instead? Me, I think I would go for the Un-Birthday option!

At the moment I can't believe how quick time is just flying by, last Wednesday only seems a couple of days away and not 7!  Well it is time to visit Julia at Stamping Ground to have a nosey look around the craft desks of the world.

During my post last Wednesday (here) I mentioned about my Inspiration Book, and I have taken some pictures and I did a post over the weekend, you can see it here.  In addition I had so many lovely comments about my Quilled butterflies, I decided to do a How To... to give you all the instructions to create them.

Now back to my desk this week... I have been trying to create a Mini Book from card blanks, thanks to a post I found on the Scrapping Mojo Blog.  I printed out the instructions and added them to my Inspiration Book, and when looking through last night I decided to have a play.

With the covers closed

With the covers open you can see the main pages (3 cards glued back to back)
I still have to glue the cards that will create the covers onto the main pages.  I'm not even sure what I will use the mini-book for.  I just wanted to have a play :)
