Today it is my dear niece/god-daughter's 21st birthday and she is away on a cruise to the Canaries - hope she is having a fabulous time and being treated like a princess today.
Ages ago I made this little tag book for her. Just before she went away I made a little box for it so that my mum could carry it safely in her luggage.
I used kraft cardstock and stamped a hero arts butterfly in sepia ink and then glittered the butterflies with diamond stickles. I inked all the edges with TH Vintage Photo distress ink.
I cut a tag using a Sizzix die and embellished it in the same way as the box and then added some ribbon and a tiny dragonfly charm.
I then found a lovely piece of gold tissue paper to line the box (good job I never throw stuff away!!)
I'm looking forward to her coming home as I am sure she will have lots of lovely photographs for me to scrap for her album. Plus she will be having a horror themed fancy dress party on her return - I am busy working on my outfit and looking forward to taking lots of piccies that evening for my albums!!
