I took a few photographs during the day and have just scrapbooked them. Now I am NOT a scrapbooker but I am sure my meagre attempts (started and finished last night) will please Aunty and will be something for her to look back on. I also thought it would be nice to send copies of the pages to her sister in Ireland so she can see how Eileen spent her special day.
This is the first page which shows Aunty and has some of the flowers from the top of her cake in the top left hand corner. I had to cut a new "80" as the other was full of icing.
Her friend, Diane, had had one of those "books" made for her - and she even brought a stand for it to sit on. It looked lovely on the actual electric fire - sort of its own special place.
I just had to use one of my Martha Stewart punches so I made a border.
This is my MS Punch bought at weekend - I need to pay more attention to how to use it to make complete circles.
Those border punches do come in handy - here's Aunty with some of her neighbours
Just a small collection of some of her cards. Top right photograph - bottom left card - that is the one I made for her - forgot to scan it - doh!
She had lots of flowers but I only took photographs of these two bouquets - don't know why - maybe because those arrived on the day.
Now to get myself off to see her and take this extra little gift to her from us.
