Accordion Book Box

Hi friends, just a very quick post today after yesterday's marathon.  We went to Birmingham yesterday and by the time we got back, had a meal and cleared away time was marching on and I didn't feel like crafting. So I  just made a very quick box for yesterdays Accordion Box Card. I had to wait until this morning to photograph it, hence the later post today. However, it is so grey here  that it's still not a good picture.

I kept it quite simple as you can see. I again computer generated the sentiment and die cut it with Marvellous Squares. I threaded through some of the ribbon that I used to close the book, and added a few pearls and small WOC roses.

I also altered the flower arrangement slightly on the front of the book so I took another quick pic.

Well that's me for today. Hope you all have a good day.

Love from Christine x

Hi Christine,
I forgot to say that's why I have to bake cakes, as Tony gets Migraines from skimmed milk powder, whey powder, and mixed peel, and unfortunately it's in nearly everything you buy including bread.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
