Best of British Mini Book

Best of British Mini Memory Book
Inspiration:
I really enjoyed the Olympics and Jubilee Celebrations earlier in the year.  I am not really a sporty person but the general feel good factor was great.  I love things with a vintage and grown up feel but I have had a soft spot for Forever Friends bears for many years and even have a few in my collection.  I like to personalise cards and add lots of bits.  I cannot remember where I saw this sort of little tag book first but this is my own little twist.  I think this sort of book is great for keeping photos or little secret messages.  I have added a few hand written words to add to the scrapbook/journal feel.
Challenge:
I am going to enter this project in the Forever Friends Challenge ‘Ribbons’.  That’s if I can manage the technical bit!
