Another quiet crafting day

Poor Abi is still ill, but at least the tablets seem to be helping, so I am at home caring for her today, whilst she is asleep I am having a quiet crafting day.
Whilst i was blog surfing last night there were a couple of projects that caught my eye & one of them is a mini magazine holder & a selection of card to go in it.I have found two different tutorials & I am going to try both.The first one is for mini cards 3" x 3" in size & was made by Becky at Inking Idaho Becky has some wonderful tutorials on her blog, take a peep at her blog for inspiration.

This mini magazine holder is designed for cards 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

I love both of the designs for these mini magazine files but if i'm truthful the second is the easier of the two to make, but I do love the Love notes cards from Stampin' Up 110195 & they fit the first mini magazine file perfectly.

  1. Hi Lisa! Got your email/comment on my blog about the mini magazine holder. So glad you saw it and liked it! I get so many visitors to that post! I've stopped posting to that particular blog, but will be putting a link to my new blog there in a few short weeks, so I hope you'll visit again, then come see me at my new home in blog-land! I love your blog and all your creations! Isn't it wonderful that we can now correspond so easily with others so far away?! I love it! I live in a small town in Georgia now, but just moved here from the big city in Houston, TX. So happy that Stampin' Up! has reached across the pond!
