Cocoa Tints–Colour Combo Blog Hop

At last I finally finished a colour combo blog hop challenge ahead of time Smile

I always love the colour combo, but this time especially (thank you talented Amy), I think it lends itself to a pretty pretty project and as my lovely niece Lauren appears to be having her 14th Birthday this weekend then I made her a card/minibook to scrap her own reminder of it. She lives with me so she can use my stash quite easily.
I started with the sheet of Prima Fairy Flora in 6x6, some Thorndon Hall and some stash. I have pretended that the cream is more white (i’ll blame it on my screen resolution) and used white DL envelopes to make a minibook based on the fab tutorial that a very clever and dear friend Susi gave for one of her projects for the Christmas Countdown over at Creative Craft World.

Thanks Susi Smile
I’m also going to enter it into Shimelle’s pocket challenge as there are lots of pockets for Lauren to slip her tickets and receipts into.
Thank you so much for making it through the hop, i’ve already seen next months colour combo and it is gorgeous.

  8. I apologize that I didn't get to hop around before my travels - but now I am glad I can take my time and catch up with everyone unhurried. That is a lovely book - she will no doubt love and cherish it.
