Thank you so much , I have collected a few cards over the years never knowing what they might be useful for! Big smile :)

Another very enjoyable, educational and inspirational video. Another good idea - to use special birthday cards. I still have all the cards and 'bits' from my wedding day and they are just in a big heap (keep falling on my head when I open the cupboard door.  Hope to have a go at making a journal with them.

@Anniestamper Lol Annie there's no contest they definitely need to go in a journal, falling on your head v's sitting on a shelf or your coffee table ready to flick through???The personal bits and pieces we collect in our lives become such a nuisance don't they? I'm such a hoarder too, but I've found if they're kept in some sort of 'display' like a shadow box or journal you proudly can't stop looking at them lol much love Jennibellie x
