Day 5: The 7 Day Challenge

Wow this has been such a great experience I will definitely be doing another challenge like this again, I am learning so much. I hope you liked the matchbook style booklet that I created yesterday it was so easy to do. For today’s challenge, I used the big shot for these two pages, and even better I used vellum and made a pocket sleeve that will go between the two pages. 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, 3 and 4 of the challenge.
