A guest book for my cousin's wedding


Sadly I won't be there as the wedding is in New Zealand and being term time I wasn't able to get the time off. Yes teachers have lots of holiday but we have no flexibility or control over when we take it :(


So my parents kindly packed it in their luggage for me. I also stitched a little calico bag to store it in (but forgot to take a photo) and it fitted perfectly into the lid of a shoebox from my new work shoes!


My cousin asked for white, gold, pink or light pastel colours. In the end she got pink & ivory and some gold as I couldn't find what I wanted in white. Her wedding dress is NOT traditional white/Ivory, so I am very curious as to what her dress will be like! I am guessing pink which is why I have used so much!

And this is their card.

I used some lovely handmade paper that I have had for years, added a few pink pearls and some paper die cuts. The circles are nesties done on my cuttlebug. It took no time at all really. I quite like doing the step cards as you get a good result with little time & effort.

I had forgotten just how much papercrafting stuff I had lol!!!! I make such a mess when I am making cards, that the tidying up takes longer than what I spent creating! I used to be able to leave everything out for the next evening but with two little monkeys running around I don't have that luxury anymore!

I am hoping that the Japan Earthquake doesn't effect them too much. They are on the coast, in The Bay of Islands but are actually quite high above sea level.
