so your choice.

I used colored pencils & colorless blender

Anyone who knows me , knows how much I love my die cuts 

and frequently use Sizzix dies.

This one I've had for a while and never used it because 

I was disappointed when I gave it a test drive.

It's tiny! 2 3/4" x 4"

I think it may be part of a series of dies made for pocket scrapbooking, 

although I could also be completely wrong!

Anyway I knew with my travels and a time change 

I need something that was easy for me.

closed/folded

open/flat
