Hi there – This week on the Artfull Crafts Blog the theme is Stocking Stuffers and Scraps. I have heaps of bits and pieces to post – but will restrict to one day at a time!

I made this photo wallet for my MIL this week as she spent some unexpected time in hospital. It’s so simple and is slim-line enough to fit easily into a bag, purse or wallet. It measures 10cm x 7cm and has a magnetic snap closure (from Basic Grey).



It almost looks like a little purse!

 I have used one of my favourite ranges from the last year (well, from all time really) Restoration from Crate Paper.

The colours in this range are gorgeous. I have seen lots of heavily distressed projects using this range, but that’s not really my style, so I wanted to show it can be used for a “clean lines” project too.

Needed to add the paper strip to hide the second magnet I needed for strength!



These colours are just so stunning. Sepia photos were a great match!


The album opens up to reveal fold out flaps containing more photos. It’s amazing how slim the wallet stays when folded, despite all the layers..

Lots of grandchildren pics to cheer up Nonnie!



Have used some of the wonderful accents and stickers in the Restoration line. This is as close as I get to journaling!!
