My niece Laura, has beautiful almond shaped eye's, that she is learning to use on us her family to get just what she wants. So what a lovely tool to use as the subject for my little square book. I used the Fancy Flourishes and Clear Alphabet stamps from the Sugar and Spice clear stamps range. 2 x 3.5" pieces of card, covered with contrasting papers, 3 ribbon hinges and punched holes threaded with the same ribbon tied in a bow forms the fastening.
