Isn't it fab when birthday surprises keep arriving?
I had more cards this week!

This one came all the way from Singapore - a lovely surprise from Pearl - who has become a good friend and crafting buddy!
And then through the letterbox popped something e

I'm busy making covers for my new CJ - it's due to start on Monday and I'm hoping to be ready by then - it's another BIG CJ with 9 or 10 people in the circle (must check that). Also need to make my file cards up for a recipe card swap - theme is chocolate this time, so it should be fun to see all the choccie recipes that come flooding in - I bet there are a good few choccie muffin recipes in there!
Busy too with Design team stuff, making birthday presents and various cards, and then just when I'm twiddling my thumbs because I don't have enough to do (as if) I get an order for three special cards......and one is needed pretty quickly. So why am I sitting waffling on here then? Because prevarication is a wonderful thing.....
Anyway. I know that Anne's received her blog candy prize from my birthday card challenge, so I can now blog some photos of what I made for her.
It's a maze book (do I hear "oh not another one....yawn...."?)
I used the beautiful BG Fusion papers for this one (are they my favourite BG papers ever?)
each double page has a place for a little photo and a little area or tag for some journalling. I'm quite pleased with this format - it has more cohesion I think thatn others I've made where i just do each page as I fancy at the time!
Here are some pics - not all of the pages though, don't worry!
