An Altered Folder

It isn't very often that I alter something, with all the stash that I have here, but a friends little girl was 6 last week, and when I asked my friend what I could give her daughter as a present, she said that Angelina would love some craft bits and pieces, so maybe I could put a few things together for her, as she is a very crafty and creative little girl.

So I started with an expandable folder, that had 5 pouches inside, from Poundland:


Then I added a couple of 'matted' card, and few bits and pieces, and some die cut letters done on the craft robo in silver viynl, and this is the finished result.


Angelina and her mum loved the outside of the folder as well as the contents, which I have to admit that by the time I had put all the stash in the folder it wouldn't do up! I got a bit carried away, and gave Angelina a lot of pretty papers, cards and embellishments, and I can't wait to see how she uses them.

To go with the folder I made Angelina a 'Name Card', cut on the craft robo in ivory linen card, with a gold mat, and punched flowers with pink gems.

I'd like to enter the folder and card into Crafty Fairies current challenge - to use die cut alphabets, and the Southern Girls Challenge - Anything Goes.
I'd like to enter the card into the Paper Romance Challenge - Clean and Simple.
