I made some cards

[wiseheart]

They'll be behind the tag because I don't want to spoil lindahoyland's surprise - assuming that postal services manage not to lose hers. *g*



So, here comes Linda's card first. The colours are actually more vivid, and the whole thing is a lot sharper, but this was the best photo I could take of it, sorry.



This was the original that gave me the idea, found somewhere on the 'net; I saved it, then lost the link, then uploaded it to Pinterest again... yeah, I know I can be complicated sometimes. In any case, I like my simpler version better, but the photo is definitely better than mine, alas.:(



And then I made this one, inspired by another lost-link image on the 'net; this one I didn't even save, just hand-copied the basics from the screen.

Button-decorated card:
(and yes, the lose borders have been repaired in the meantime)



The same card, half-opened:
(so that you can take a look at the inner border, too)





Making cards is fun; also, quicker and easier than making full journals, although that's fun, too. See my little travelling journal for Mum:



I made it out of 8 envelopes and some paper rests from previous journals. The envelopes proved very handy, she put all the receipts we got for the things we bought during our holidays into them, assigning a different envelope to each day. *g*

Actually, the blue one is just some paper and buttons. I found the original idea somewhere on the Net, didn't even save it, just made a drawing to guide me.
