this is the first one of these I've attempted and I do love it, I used lots of bits and bobs of what I had, found, scrounged and I even made the paper flower, I wanted a couple little flourishes so cut them from card, ( cant you tell) lol and i'm still waiting for the postman with my orders !!
So this is a gift for our friends daughter who is turning 21 this weekend and I know she loves handmade anything so I wanted to really give this a go. I cut up the invitation which is a picture of her when she was about 8 , she is such a gorgeous girl and I really wanted to make her something with meaning that she could keep. I've had so much fun in making this although I did get a bit scared to actually start glueing things down, then thought, oh just get on with it and see how it turns out, so I did and cant wait to get into the next one !!!
Looks great Karen! I know she'll cherish it.
