Day 3: The 7 Day Challenge

Welcome to Day three of the challenge. If you missed the first two days you can see Day 1 here or Day 2 here.

NOTE: In my last post a question was asked what did I mean by left facing and right facing pages, basically this a printing term used for a book or publication, it just indicates that these two pages would go side by. This is termed as a spread see here for definition.



Today I thought I would spice it up and do something different. I love things that can be removed or things that allow you to add things too. So for this one I created a pocket again very simple and a tag that can be removed. The tag tucks into the pocket and until you remove it you don’t see the pretty flowers at the bottom. Sort of like a wonderful surprise. For the right side I did something very simple, for this one you can either add a picture or journal or both. What every you want.
