Today's theme is - Vacation Memories.

As I have just recently returned from New Zealand paper crafting retreat now is a perfect time to share something I created over there thanks to a class 😊 Plus you get to see some more of my pictures.

Our guest tutor while on the retreat was Susan Wong and she taught us how to make this gorgeous Straw Mini Album.
And I straight away, asked if it was OK to share this fabulous idea with you all 😇
