More Micro than Mini!

When my Grab Box arrived there were a few lovely little items, a little kraft envelope, a glassine envelope (love love love!) and a large-ish tag.  I immediately put these aside as I had a plan for them that popped into my head instantly!!!!

This little book fell into place, I folded the tag over a little to make it just a little bigger than the paper sheets that I cut the same size as the kraft envelope.  I spaced the paper bits in the centre and folded the tag over and punched 4 lots of holes thru the bunch of papers using my crop-a-dile.  Then using some fab string I used it to weave in and out of the holes and tied it securely in place (still with me?)....LOL!  Front decorated with sticker, flower, and bakers twine from box.  A Perfect Day title from a crate paper sheet that was also in the box.

Micro-book - Disney Paris (not Aris! as it looks like it says!)

Using a piece of left over cardstock (see the wedding LO!) that was lying on the desk, I used this as the front cover and the body of the micro-book was ready!  Now I have been keeping a lot of memorabilia that I wanted to use for minibooks, tickets, brochures and other bits from Disney Paris and Universal in Florida and knew there was stuff there, but when I went looking the tickets from the Disney trip have gone missing, and I had wanted to add them to the kraft envelope, so a map of the park from the trip had to do, till I find the tickets that are obviously in a very safe and obvious place....;)

The back of the micro-book....

Little Kraft envelope, supposed to hold the tickets but holds the map of the park....

Photos of the trip printed in passport size perfect for the book.

Inside pages - not all as you will be bored silly!

Lovely little glassine envelope - with ticket from Dinner Show

So that is it, 3 items and not made a huge dent in the box.  I had some other stuff to do and will be back playing with the grab box tonight for sure!  Thanks for popping in!
