    I went over to have a look, you did a fantastic tutorial for your 'Fauxdori', I enjoyed seeing how you brought it all together and I love that you made it to fit an A5 notebook too! Fabulous colours on the cover too! Thanks so much for joining in our first challenge at Mini Album Makers. Anne x
