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. I tied a bow using the ribbon and added a pearl embellishment to the centre of the bow. I printed the sentiment and die cut it with a scalloped circle from a Xcut nesting set. This is added to a brown scalloped circle before adding it to my project. I completed the project with some hearts which I cut with a punch.

I printed the elements for the final page and then die cut them with dies from the Memory Book collection.

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.

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.

On page 5 I have used dies from the Memory Book 2 collection. I have cut three of the smaller pages to make this layout. I have scored the card to leave a glue tab to attach the elements to the page. I have created a belly band around the element and added a sentiment incorporating magnets to fasten the design. I added the decoration which I found on cheap greetings cards. 

On page 6 I used various sizes of the die set to cut panels to assemble for this page. I added magnets between the layers to fasten the elements.  I printed personalised details and die cut them with a Presscut cut and then matt and layered it before attaching to my page.

Farm animals wall hanging

 

I have created a picture with a number of dies. I was told the recipient loved animals so I used the die sets by Lisa Horton to make the animals.
