Memories

Morning!  getting back in the swing of things since my hols.  I am still smiling to myself, fondly remembering the happy days of my recent trip :D  This little gift was made for my mother-in-law on mother's day.  You can see it's a little from the norm for me but she LOVES pink and pretty (secretly I do too but it doesn't usually like me).

As you can see, it is an altered photo album which I picked up at a local brick a brack sale where my friends Barbara and Ruth were running a table for their church.  I painted around the edges with off white acrylic paint then covered it with sewn panels of card and paper.  There's not a single stamp on this! (I know) it's a mix of rub-ons from Stampin' Up! and die-cuts.

I will be entering it over at charisma cardz 'no cards allowed', papertake weekly's 'punches or die-cuts' and lets craft & creates 'sew lovely' challenges.  Have a great day everyone.

Supplies:  Basic grey paper, Stampin' Up!s retired rub-ons, beautiful wings embosslit die, basic pearls and blushing bride card stock.  Papertreyinks doily die cut in vintage cream card stock and tea dye inks.  Martha Stewart crystal coarse glitter Other: pink twine, jewel pins and pink organza ribbon from stash.
