For my BFF....

Hello everyone...


I wish to share with you today, a project I've made for my BFF. She is the godmother to all 3 of my kids, (brave woman ;-)) but as she lives home in Denmark, and I live in Ireland, we dont get to see each other enough. Needless to say, pictures play a big part in our friendship, especially of the kids.
So for her birthday, I decided to make something a little more special. She has just been through a tough time, and I just wanted to remind her, that even when things are tough, and although we are far apart, myself, hubby and the kids are ALWAYS there for her...
So here is the "birthday card" I made for her.
 Its a plain 12x12 album



 It opens up like a book, and this is what you see when you open it.
All the picture are from our eldest, Emma's Communion, where BFF was with us.

Thats it. Im really proud of this book. It looks like nothing on the outside, but when you open it, its like a treaure box. Full of memories from a wonderful day. And the best bit is, my BFF got to be there with us, so she will add her own memories to each picture, when she opens the book..


Hope you all like it, and THANK YOU for stopping by.
Big Hugs, Marleen xxx
