Farewell Mini Album

A few months ago good friends of ours told us they would be moving to Dubai - we have spent time together nearly every week freezing our tooshies off at the ice rink while our daughters have figure skated together as solo artists and synchronised skating team mates. We have all become really close friends during this time and I now see a trip to Dubai appearing sometime in our future - although we may let our friends find a suitably large house for all their guests first - LOL!

It was not long after I heard they were leaving that I went to the SU Regionals in Melbourne with my new SU friend Ramona Michaluk. Ramona is a very talented stamper and had brought some beautiful things for "show & tell". One of these was a gorgeous Waterfall Card and Mini Album. She graciously helped me out so I could make this one for my friends - it was just THE perfect going away card as I could incorporate memories of all the fun we had together.

I also enjoy writing silly limericks and came up with one for each of them - but then I had to decide where to put them! I opted for a sleeve on the inside cover and made an opening with my Word Window punch and added a tab using my Round Tab punch.

Making this album really made me appreciate how SU products work so well together - I used several punches and stamp sets and was really happy with the result. In case you were wondering - the album HAD to be purple as this is the girls' team colours.

I was sooooo pleased to see how touched my friends were when I gave it to them - it's amazing how some card, stamps and photos can really bring out emotion - this is why I love to do it!
