Day 4: The 7 Day challenge

Welcome to Day four, hard to believe there is only three days left of this challenge. If you are new to this you can read about my personal challenge here and view what I have done so far for Day’s 1, 2 and 3 of the challenge.

Today I have done something extra special, a matchbook style booklet with sleeves made of envelopes with tiny little note cards. For the opposite page I did a narrow design that allows for a picture and some journaling.
