It has been a while since I have had the time to make a scrapbook page. So I decided to use the sketch from Papertake Weekly to make this one , I then saw the colours for Colour Create which are just perfect for my page, kraft, blue and white plus texture. I used Cuttlebug Dots on the corners

Charisma Cardz is Anything New. Well this is the first of many scrapbook pages of my Grandson Finn and I used the new Beatrix Potter paper I bought in Arbroath. It is by Studiolight , Peter Rabbit, the other paper is Frances Meyer baby boy soft stripe, I used Nesties to make a border and the rest is from my stash.

I liked this sketch and decided to make it a bold card.
