Hi everyone, it's Friday and launch day for our latest project - the File Folder.  I had loads of fun making the samples altered here in two gorgeous paper collections to give two totally different looks to the same File Folder Cover Set.  .   Measuring 10" x 7 1/4 x 2" the sturdy File Folder Cover set is laser cut from 3mm MDF, has a magnetic closure inset into the covers, opens top reveal the option to add a noticeboard section on the inside cover and a ring binder that holds four layered pages. These can be made with or without pockets and pull out photo mats.  I've added a tuck spot option for the pages too. These allow you to slot pictures onto the pages without sticking them down. That way you can always see the beautiful papers you've chosen to decorate your pages in, like  like the Mad Hatter below.  I added black clips into the samples too to hold more pics and ephemera on the pages.   and right in the centre the...

Happy Friday to you.  Very sad circumstances bought my oldest and dearest friends together last night for a girly get together.  Sarah, if you're reading the little old blog today it was lovely to see you :-) and Linda I'm so sorry for your loss.   I started typing this post whilst listening to the breaking news that we (the UK) are to leave the European Union.

Huge congrats to the new Graphic 45 2016 design team members.  It's no mean feat getting onto this prestigious design team, and with hundreds of entrants applying every year it must be such a hard decision to select just a few.  Commiserations to all who didn t make the team too. I'm sending my own huge  thanks to Diane, Charee and Aimee at Graphic 45 for my invitation to continue to represent them, and their truly unique paper collections and staples here in the UK as their Ambassador.   It's going to be another fun filled year of creative design and workshops. Look what's coming everyone.......a much asked for Safari Adventure collection....... can't wait to see this one and looking at the colours am sure the papers will work with those from the Tropical Travelogue collection if you have some left......... (I do lol)    Also coming our way is  the re-release of the incredibly sought after Halloween in Wonderland collectio...
