I have fewer pages to share this month as I've also made a mini-book and a selection of cards for a friend who is going through chemo. A group us of put together a box of cards and gifts so that she has something to open every day of her treatment.
I made her this book based on the "Bird Song" book by Cal Summers in her Paper Scissors Story Facebook group, though I adapted it in places, using techniques Cal has taught us from other books.
These were my cards, the first two of which use Jenny Wren Cut-Files from Twilight Crafts and were my DT post this month.
Back to my scrapbooks, I've made all the Helsinki pages now for our Scandinavian cruise:
31. Supreme Court/Presidential Palace/Helsinki City Hall
My first page from Helsinki featuring a run of three public buildings. It had to be 12x12 as it's on the back of my subtitle page for the city.

Supplies: Cardstock - Craft UK, The Craft Place; Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Out and About, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Letters - Tim Holtz; Enamel Dots - Carta Bella
32. Parliament House/Central Station/Kamppi Chapel
Three more buildings, in a divided page protector this time, which is what I'm using most of the time in an attempt to include more photos in less space.
33. The Rock Church
One of two things on my must-see list for Helsinki, the Rock Church is literally carved into the ground, and topped with a copper roof.
34. National Library of Finland
The other must-see, a veritable cathedral to books and reading, and free entry.
Supplies: Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Letters - Heidi Swapp; Stickers - Pinkfresh Studio; Filmstrip - 49 and Market; Enamel Dots - Pinkfresh Studio
35. Helsinki Cathedral/Uspenski Cathedral
Finally, the real cathedrals, one Lutheran and one Orthodox.
Supplies: Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode; Letters - Shimelle; Stickers - Pinkfresh Studio; Acetate - 49 and Market; Glitter Tape - Unknown; Enamel Dots - 49 and Market
36. A Scandinavian Marathon
Jumping to the end of the album and another 12x12 page, my husband ran 10km in each capital city, and added a bit more to take him up to a marathon in four parts.
Supplies: Cardstock - Crafts UK; Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Letters - Heidi Swapp; Stickers - Pinkfresh Studio, 49 and Market, 7 Gypsies; Enamel Dots - Pinkfresh Studio
I also made a single and a double for my 2021 album, and I'm sharing an earlier one now too as they fit together. These are all from my 50th birthday when we were still facing Covid restrictions, so the best celebration we could manage was a day at the coast:
37. Explore Walton-on-the-Naze
I actually made this one in February for a sketch challenge from Hey Little Magpie.
38. The Naze Tower
I tried to keep a similar style for this page.
Supplies: 49 & Market again, with letters from Anita's Glitterations and Creative Devotion.
39. & 40. Wander Around the Naze
And finally, a double for our walk around the Naze, a headland surrounded by water on three sides.
Supplies: More 49 & Market, with letters from American Crafts
Disclosure - I receive digital cut-files free of charge from Twilight Crafts as part of my DT role. All other supplies are my own.
