Back Home

Helloooo. I'm back from sunny Spain, just in time for the snow. Now it's all over I can share some of the things I've been keeping secret for a few weeks. First is the mini scrapbook album that Jo and I gave mum and dad for their 45th wedding anniversary (sneaky peek above). The photos were taken from old slides and are the only colour photos that mum and dad have of their wedding. The quality of the photos wasn't great but they still look lovely in the album. I have to say that the album looks much better and vibrant in real life than in the scans. I used the s.e.i. scrapbook in a bag in aunt gerti's sidekicks colours. Absolutely perfect for the photos I think you'll agree. You can see the whole album here.

Secondly is the anniversary card that I made for them. It is a hand stitched design from the fantastic stitching cards website. I love these designs, and to do the whole thing in shades of blue added a different twist.

Finally, it was such a big weekend that it was Mother's Day as well, and this is the card that I made for mum. A simple card, but I think a very effective mix of blossoms, ribbons and chipboard. The ribbons and blossoms were from the March monthly kit from Ben Madigan Crafts which I somehow found myself subscribed to (and fab kits they are too!) and the chipboard is K&Co.'s K-ology Addison alphabet.
