A bit of an update...

 I'm sorry, things have been busy...

I have a new design team package and did a video haul, you can see it here.

I am using an amazing collection, Photo Play's "Travel Junque" and it is fantastic.  It's perfect for any vacation adventures you want to document.

In the package I also received the new Country Craft Creations Card Fronts featuring the Country Bunny collection and it is so very sweet!

I made a Do-Si-Do notebook/journal with it, and have a tutorial that is quick and easy...another way to use the card fronts!

Have you seen the NEW Country Craft Creations Card Fronts??? I received the Country Bunny Card Fronts in my latest design team package and I thought of a different way to use them today. I really hope you like it. It doesn't take a lot of cardstock, I did use 4 card fronts to make two notebooks, and I added some Country Bunny Paper, a Country Craft Creations exclusive paper, to add some pockets. I used the pamphlet stitch in this project and will show you how to do that. All measurements are in the video as there really aren't many. Have fun!
