Silver Wedding Anniversary Party Guest Book

 I made this guest book for a Silver Wedding Anniversary party. The appreciation and compliments about the book were priceless. The recipients went on a holiday so I had the book back to add the photographs which were taken in              the party. It  was lovely to see the book after the event because I have never seen one of my books  with the messages in them. 

I used Tonic Studio Memory Book dies to make the actually book

I printed a personalised sentiment for the front of the book. I added the decorative element which I cut with  Sue Wilson die. I added silver satin ribbon and with pearl embellishments 

I printed the personalised details and cut them with a Presscut oval die from a nesting die set and added it to a pink oval before attaching it the to the spine of my book

I made a pocket which I created with the Memory Book dies. I added a dove and heart die cut which I cut with a Sweet Dixie die. I used a Tonic Studios die to create the tags. I added silver satin ribbon to the tags

I created a flap pocket with a magnet closure using the Memory Book dies. I added the decorative element to the front of the page with a Crafters Companion die set 

I added personalised details and a photograph to the inside of the page.

I created pockets for the next two pages using layers from the Memory Book set. I created the decorative element for the top of the pockets with a ribbon threading die from Crafters Companion. The sentiment is also from Crafters Companion

I have used a Tonic Studios header die to create the opening flap on the page. I used closures dies from Cool Katz to make the closure for both of these pages. I added the sentiment to the first page which I cut with a Xcut die. I created the envelope om the opposite page along with sentiment with Crafters Companion dies.

I decorated the inside of this page with a sentiment. The tags are made with a die I had on a magazine, I used Tonic Studio dies to create the tabs for the tags

This front of the page was made using a Tonic Studios die set. I paper pieced the flowers and added narrow satin ribbon for the closure.

I created this side opening page with the dies from the Memory Book set. I used the Crafters Companion ribbon threading die to create the edge for the pocket. I used the sentiment which I cut with an Xcut die. I cut tags and added satin ribbon to them

I created a double flap page using the dies form the Memory Book die set. I used magnet for the closure. I used the Xcut die again to cut the sentiment

The inside of this page has a sentiment to the one side which I cut with a Sue Wilson die.

The other side of the inside of this page has a picture of the recipients during their party

I created top loading pockets for these page. I used  Crafter Companion dies for the decorative element of top of the pages and the sentiment. I cut the tags using Tonic Studio die, I added satin ribbon to these tags.
