French Chic Dt add-on kit

Hidden in my box with the August kit was a lovely surprise from Caroline...the blue mini-album add-on kit from Bubbly Funk.


Made by SEI in excellent quality chipboard and tough plastic protectors this little 6x6 book comes complete with paper doileys, Melissa Frances key holes and bags of style in the form of flowers and ribbon and all for a mere £7.50.


I used papers from my main kit to make the book, using the principle of Three Border Punches to create texture and lots of randomly cut strips of papers to layer.


An easy to use removal system for the sleeves is perfect for a small album like this.



Shrink plastic from the main kit came in handy when my journaling stamps were too big for the page!!

I used a favourite vintage button below........


I was inspired by the lovely Nathmael who often uses Blue and a very natural way of stamping with Brown Ink on her layouts and mini- books........click HERE to see more of her pretty work.

Love and ooh laa la
