A gift for a friend

This week, I haven't made a card for Sketch Saturday, I have a mini album to show you instead.
This weeks sketch was used for the front cover...


I am going to give this to my friend for her birthday, I have a confession, her birthday was last week! I've been pre-occupied with other stuff recently so although I did wish her a happy birthday on the day via facebook, I failed to get this made & posted to her on time, I hope she likes it enough to forgive me for sending it late.

The gorgeous papers are Bella Bleu by Stampin Up
The beautiful Tilda image was stamped for me by my friend Terry (thanks Terry!)
and I coloured her with SU markers, adding a bit of glitter to her pretty pink hair bow.
The sentiment is also by SU, from their Whimsical Words stamp set.
The pearls are from my stash.

I thought I had some ivory satin ribbon to add to the book rings, but I don't :(
or if I do I can't find it! I found white ribbon but it didn't look right at all, so unfortunately the rings will have to remain bare, i'm sure my friend will jazz them up though!


Want to see some delightful DT work? then please go see the stunning creations made by my fellow teamies :)
I hope you also take part this week, you could win 2 fabulous Mo Manning stamps if you are this weeks challenge winner, this is the prize kindly donated by The Craft Barn this week!

Thanks for dropping by today, don't go anywhere though as I will have another post for you in just a minute ;)
