Hope your week has went well and enjoy the weekend.

Chapter in your life

Friday afternoon, taking a wee break from housework to share one of my makes.

This is my first attempt at making a book card and I am really pleased with the outcome.

It was make for a little boy's Christening Day.

I used lots of dies from various companies:

Marianne, Tonic, Marianne, Tattered Lace,  Spellbinders and a bunch of gorgeous flowers and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Papers are from Daisie Company.

I also used beautiful ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, and lots of pearls.

Hope you like it.
