Are you all settling back into the usual routines post Christmas? Doesn't it feel like ages ago already?! Well, here is something I made to give to my aunt-in-law for Christmas to make a book token a bit more exciting!
I found a quote I liked for the front and played around with some fonts on the computer to make a focal point and then added some pretty flowers and leaves to frame it.
I created 2 pockets inside to hold the book token on the left and a matching bookmark on the right. I only added a little stamped detail and one flower so that the card would actually shut since the pockets and gifts already made it quite bulky!
I made a corner bookmark very similar to a previous one; check out this post if you want to see how it fits on a book! This also had to be flat so it wouldn't created lumps in the book!

I am working this weekend but can look forward to having Monday off and am really hoping for an end to this grey weather so I can photograph some of my recent projects! I hope you are all having a lovely weekend and haven't been washed away/snowed in etc. depending on where you live.
Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
Hugs,
