50 Years of marrage

This is a project i have been working on
for my husbands Aunty and Uncle
Even made a box for it

the lid comes off

and the book slides out

used cuttle bug embossing folders for the top lettering
hearts for the 50 and swizz dots for the YEARS

The project came to a sudden stand still as i could not find
something gold or white suitable to put the book together.
So then two days before the party i thought I know
I have a Kumihimo Disk that i brought back in july of last year
so i made the rope using with and gold thread and weaving it around
two strands of wire so as when it was finished i could shape it .
(to see other things i have made using these weaving go to
HERE , HERE , HERE , HERE , HERE and HERE )

Now the pages in the book i put a piece of vellum as pages
between the pages so the photos would not spoil each other over time

used the design studio to cut the shapes i placed on the pages

Took a while but I (or should i say my husband) found
some wonderful gold photo corner so they
can now add there photos easily

decided to used big eyelets to protect the holes from tearing

Oh and also added some gold stickers in places over the
book (the clock is cause Uncle Donny fixes them for a living)

And flowers cause Aunty Claire loves her garden

As the pages got wider i was able to make bigger pictures for them

AND on the very last page i thought they could put photo
of THEN

AND NOW

used inkscape and sure cuts a lot for the pages of the book
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN TO DO
