I start with simple tall and square card formats then progressive on to variations that include extra folds, pockets and pop-ups. This section then concludes with an unusual zigzag card born from my love of novelty designs! nnStill keeping to a smaller scale I move on to give instructions on how to create three very different mini albums. Finally I conclude with instructions on how to size and create two different envelopes or a box for your card/album plus ideas on how to transform your card designs in to scrapbook pages. nnThere are step by step instructions and throughout I have endeavoured to give you an insight in to my reasons for choosing particular papers, embellishments etc. At all times I was fully aware that your photos would be different to mine and therefore you may need to appreciate why I chose a particular colour etc.
