She was born last October and is my grandson's first child.
The Christening is on the 25th March and she will be named Isabella Mandy Victoria and she is simply beautiful.
I have used the "Bookatrix" embossing board from the The Glitter Girls to create the pages and dressed up each one individually before sticking them together... but then I have added the whole lot to an A5 card with the fold at the top and this will allow the "book" to stand up.
I have made it in pale pinks and white with the addition of feathers and ribbons and a pretty pink Hatpin in the centre... and I really am pleased with the result.
The flowers on the front of the card are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The feathers were in my "stash"
Just need to lose two stone and a new dress for the day and then I'm done....
Hugs Christina xx
Oh my god Christina this is absolutely fantastic, I am sure the family will keep it forever.xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I am sure the entire family will always treasure it. I must say that you do not look old enough to be a great-grandmother! Can I ask, what is a stone?
ReplyDeleteOh my this made me laugh ... with a question like that I can only assume that you do not have a weight problem otherwise you would know that a stone is ...
DeleteIt's a weight measurment Linda and it means I have too much that has all accumulated in sevearal places and is extremely hard to get rid of.
I call it my post baby weight ... the only problem with that is my babies are now 44 and 41 so do you think it will still count???
Amazing card, it must have taken you ages, but well worth it. xxx
