The little Devil is my son and my two nieces! I used the Owl, Blossom Petal and Bird Builder punches to create this adorable DEVIL cased from Laura Lipe.  I also Used a 1/2" circle punch for the nose and a 3/4"" circle punch for the horns. I hand drew the mouth and sponged the devil with Real Real Ink.

I used a 4" X 9-1/4" card stock and scored at 4" and 8-1/2"  I used staples to hold the flap so that way the mini Layouts would stay in the album.

The inside cards measure 3-5/8" these are perfect to give to grandparents or any family member:)

Please leave one comment and a way to contact you.  Open to everyone.  I will announce the winner on Monday.
