1 File Many Ways Tutorial.

Hello Bloglanders

Today I have a Tutorial for u!!

 Make a mini book, journal, album, maxi card and Project Life insert with what you have on hand - same pattern, same easy steps.

TOOLS TO GRAB: 

Bone folder, cutting mat, scissors, ruler, pencil, half a 30x30cm (12x12 inch) sheet of your favorite cardstock, a loose office file, hole punch, office paper offcuts for inside pages, paperclip.

How to:

Decorate according to your own need and / preference. (I always start with my recycle stash.) Insert the file clip and add the paperclip to keep your book open / closed. DONE!!

This is what my mini looks like:

Thanks for looking at my blog today and last but not least - I REALLY appreciate all the good wishes / emails and Facebook messages that you've sent me while being in hospital. I was very sick but it made me realise how precious my health is. I'm SUPER excited to be back at HQ Hamman as well as in Blogland.

Mini Recipe File

Hi there Bloglanders

I hope you are having a thunderous Thursday. Only one more day to go for more time with family, friends and crafting fun. Today I want to share my mini recipe file with you.

My friend bought a waffle maker as a wedding gift for friends and asked me to make a booklet / card with waffle recipes to accompany her pressie. This is what I came up with:

I just printed out my fave waffle recipes, added a cardstock front and back page, a name and kept everything together with an office slider file clasp.  The newlyweds can just punch holes in their recipe book and add mine to it with the existing slider file clasp. I've done this in my own book and it works very well.

On the front page I added a title:

And my name and the date it was made to the back:

I always do this as it's important to me to tell people that I make things by hand especially for them.

I really think this has added that bit of OEMF to an ordinary pressie. Love how it turned out and best of all - it was small and flat enough to fit into the envelope with the card.

I'm off to my craft desk. Enjoy the rest of the day and please come back to play.
