With Love - Book Card

Todays card was made as a retirement gift for the SENCO at my childrens primary school that as done an awful lot for all my kids, especially my youngest William, who after fighting for years alone to get him the help he needed both at home and school with his special needs she didnt give up and made sure that she could do everything in her powers and beyond for him to get the extra care he needs to help him to make the slow and steady progress that he is doing at the moment. Its going to be really hard on William when he goes back to school in September for him to adapt to a new senco tutor (he doesnt take to well  to change) but the wonderful Mrs Hannant has assured him that she will be back at times to help in to settle with the new teacher. She will be missed very much in her retirement by so many people.



For this card I have used hunkydory toppers from the Flutterbye Wishes collection and papers from Wild Rose Studios Butterfly Garden paper pack. The cardstock is Adorable Scorable again from hunkydory. Ribbons are from my stash that were bought from my local haberdashery. flowers are from  iamroses.com if i'm not mistaken. To make the book pages effect I used my Hougie board to do concentina folds before gluing it all together.







I am really happy with the way this project turned out considering its the first time that I have attempted this style of card.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to visit. Hope you enjoyed looking at todays project.
Love and hugs to you all

  3. Natasha, this is a beautiful and thoughtful gift, for a a person who sounds quite beautiful and thoughtful. Beautiful background papers and I love the softness of the floral print. It is wonderful how you integrated the floral design into your embellishments. The sliver trim adds drama to this design! Very nicely done! Thanks for playing on our street at 613 Avenue Create!
