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
