N.B. - Nota Bene, Take Note


Well it's Friday, and other than it being the gateway to the weekend, and I hope you have all got a good one planned, it's also the day of the week that we launch our newly weekly challenge at 
I know I have been missing for a few weeks, which has been to current work (bill paying) load, but I am glad to say I am back in a much less hectic position. 
Our challenge for this week is 
FANCY FOLDS
I recently purchased Tim Holtz matchbook die from Sizzix UK who had a mega sale, spent £18 on a few things saved £78, now that is the sort of sale we all like!!!
So had to use it for this challenge.
I love using colour in my projects but I have gone all vintage and neutral for this one.

  1. Wonderful vintage neutrals - perfect with the quills and ink bottle. Just love that thistle stamp - altogether a fantastic make. So glad you found the Sizzix sale - weren't the reductions bonkers?!

  3. Amanda!! This is totally brilliant! I love all things vintage, so love this for that reason, but also because it is about writing--another passion of mine! Beyond that, I love playing with words, so you're N.B. sent me into overload! Three home runs in my book!
