A gift for gentleman who is remembering his late wife on her birthday

 

I bought a 12x12in white box frame from "The Range".

I covered the background in pink holographic card. 

Obviously I wanted a picture of a robin because of the sentiment but I didn't want to use something Christmassy. Luckily I had the Crystal Art card in my stash. I mounted the front of the card onto brown card. I added brown satin ribbon across the background before adding the image.

Year 6 School Leavers Memory Book Gift Box

A gift box for my completed Memory Book.

 I have printed elements which include personal details and die cut them with a Presscut oval die from a nesting set, I have mounted that onto a yellow oval before attaching it to the box lid. I printed the primary school badge and the secondary school badge and die cut them both with a Xcut scalloped circle die. I mounted them onto a larger scalloped circle before attaching them to the box lid. 

 

Year 6 Leavers Book Page 13&14

 

Using the colours of the secondary school I have made the finally pages. Using the Memory Book 3 dies I have created the pages and layers for the pages. I created the pocket and and then added the sentiment also cut with a Tonic die. The "Good Luck" was die cut with a Crafters Companion die.  I added the dates to the tags using dies from a Tonic die set. I printed the elements for the final page and then die cut them with dies from the Memory Book collection.

Year 6 Leavers Memory Book pages 11&12

 

I have created these pages by simply added layers cut with the Memory Book dies. To create the pockets I added adhesive to the three sides of the card. I added the tags (cut with Tonic dies) along with embellishments which I found on shop bought cards.

Year 6 Leavers Memory Book page 9 & 10

 

I covered both of these pages with red card. I added the photograph elements and printed the logo of the location of their residential trip and details of the trip which I die cut with a Spellbinders die from a nesting set and mounted it onto a navy shape cut with the next size in the nesting set before attaching it to the page.

Year 6 Leavers Memory Book page 7&8

 

I have covered both the white pages with red card. 

I created a pocket on page 7 by cutting the nesting die cuts in half and then attaching the white element by gluing three sides and then covered the pocket with red card. I die cut the sentiment with a Sheena Douglass die and added it to the front of the pocket. I die cut the tags using a Tonic die set and completed them with ribbon. I then added decorative elements. 

On page 8 I created more layers and scored the white element to create a glue panel and then attached it to the page. I added satin ribbon between the layers to fasten the completed page. This sentiment is also a Sheena Douglas die.
