here is my little gift bag for Louise

A 21st

Its my daugthers 21st this weekend normally I would be frantic so close to a birthday party, but I feel too calm. But that could have something to do with the fact she has done a lot of the arrangements herself and we have chosen to have it in a function place.
My girl is all grown up now.
I wished to participate in one way so I volunteered to make her guest book, I wanted her to have it as a memorabilia something she could even put photo's in if she wanted.

Papers are from the Forget Me Not Collection

Eggplant with Forget Me Nots

A couple of weekends ago the girls and I flew over to Melbourne to create, with a group of other excited ladies in a workshop with Tim Holtz

Once coming back I was hoping that I would not got sick after-woods as some times you do once things in your life slow down for a little while. Unfortunately I was not so lucky, so this week the winter cold hit me well and true, hence have been feeling a little poorly.
Tonight I thought I would put up photos of some cards I made for Megs garden blog to show case the papers from the Forget Me Not Collection

The cardstock is a purple colour which looks great with these papers I have used eggplant colour ink with my stamps
