So what did I do then?

Well I did .....

... a sweet birthday planner.
I based it on the recipe box that we did last year at one of the workshops and also from inspiration from our lovely Dena who did a birthday planner recently so I must give her some the credit here - it would be very wrong not to!!!!!

The  papers I used here are from the Heartfelt paper pad.
I love that they are so contemporary  but vintage at the same time - they are fabulous..

 

 

I've been using the good old paper punches loads recently to create my own flowers.
It's good because they will always match your work if you make them from the same papers.

Love this crackle paper - can you tell lol!!!

 

 

This is the back and that paper really does look like distressed wood.

 

 

I added some strips which I'd faux stitched to all the edges - it not only looks a bit neater but it gives it additional strength as well.

 

 

The inside was decorated as well and I kept the inserts simple.
I just printed these out on the compute using a rather snazzy font :)

Ok now back to the hop and your next stop is our Debbie  and if you get lost along the way, you can start again at the beginning and pick the links up from there.

Finally, don’t forget to stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog on Monday morning when you can find out who the lucky winners were of the prizes before the new products go on sale

Enjoy the hop everyone, thanks for joining in and  good luck!

Huggiest of hugs to all xxx
