For Alan

My BIL in South Africa has his 50th birthday in two weeks time. My SIL decided to do an album for him but chose a 12x12! Each relative has been asked to do a l/o for the album - this is our contribution.





Once I decided what to do it didn't take too long, but I really wasn't inspired earlier this week. I have used Bazzill c/s and scalloped c/s; a piece of vellum from Up2Scrap called "Koha - the gift" firstly because I liked the pohutakawa blossom and secondly because I am sending him a "gift" (he doesn't know about it yet though :-) I also used my WishBlade to cut the title and the dates (the dates were a bit fiddly because they are quite small) and then lastly I added the little kiwi brad

I can see that a wish blade is an item To Be Desired... ;)

Looks good Jenny - I like the vellum touch and the little kiwi is a subtlety that works very well.

This is great, I especially love the pohutakawa flower, but I am rather partial to them.

That's really great Jenny, love the touch of Kiwi in there, so good to see something done with your Wishblade.

You've done a fabo job and I luurve what the your W did too. Lol. Where did you find the kiwi brad?

Lainie - it's not actually a brad; I suppose it's something you would put in a thick jacket or similar like a button. I got them at Ajays Emporium in either Tauranga or Rotorua
