Mothering Sunday Present.

So I wanted to do something special for my mum this mothering Sunday, and considering that Matthew and I have still not sorted out our official wedding albums, I decided to create this explosion photo box in the meantime.
So it looks like a pretty gift box...


 Then turns into an embellished mini album!

Here is a close up of some of the daisies I made, and the flower on the lid;

Recipe:
Stamp Sets; Simply Said
Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Rose Red and Pink Pirouette.
Ink; Black StazOn
Ribbon: Pretty in Pink. Ivory satin - leftover from the wedding!

Punches; Eyelet Border, small heart, daisy and notched corner (non SU)
Other: Basic Rhinestones and Pearls. Fabric flower on lid leftover from the wedding.  Cuttlebug machine with die cuts and embossing folders. Designer Series Paper - Very Vanilla.



I am also entering this creation in a fair few challenges this week;
