Another LO for the 18th Birthday Album

I have mentioned before, that it is my eldest niece's 18th Birthday in July...and she has always reminded me that she would like a Scrapbook album of her life so far, from me.


This is the latest page I have made, from her12th Birthday





I cut the doily out with my Silhouette machine and misted it, then applied clear, sparkly nail polish to it... a tip  passed on from my lovely friend HELEN over at SCRAP ADDICT...I can't believe how well it works- it's my new favourite technique!!


I truly hope you are having a restful, happy Eater weekend...I go to pick DH up this morning, so my weekend starts then!


Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    My Mum is always hinting to me and it is her 70th next year so maybe I need to get started now so that I do not end up rushing and just sticking photos in during May next year :0)
    Great LO and Happy Easter x

    What a fantastic idea for a birthday present. It's going to be a real memory keeper to cherish in years to come too. Better keep it quiet though or you'll end up doing one for EVERYONE!

    I love all the layers and the sparkly flower. I would never of thought of nail pollish!!! I wonderful present. I wish someone had done that for me. I keep asking my mom to stop scrapping my kids and scrap herself or my brother and I. These are stories I really want to know about. I know my own children's stories LOL

    Have a wonderful Easter together. We are having a family Easter Egg Hunt at the park I posted a picture of the other day.

    Very pretty page - I like the little butterfly nosed up to the flowers. And I might have to steal the sparkly nail polish out of someone's Easter Basket if she doesn't like the shade. Happy Easter to you and yours.
