One of my close friends and fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators Tanja Westwood gave birth to a beautiful baby girl yesterday. I visited Tanja and her precious bundle Ivy in hospital today and of course had to bring along a gift.
I made a first year calender and storage box where Tanja can document and store snippets of information until she is ready to scrapbook them (or just keep them for the memories.)
Box top
Side of box
Inside box
I did also put some blank index cards and a pen in the box only they are not pictured!
I was wracking my brains trying to think what I could give Tanja (she told me she didn't need anything... like I listened! LOL) Is my new baby gift something you would have like/d?
Materials list
Stamps: Easter blossoms (summer mini catalogue), full calendar, calendar alphabet and numbers
Ink: Versamark, regal rose, so saffron, basic black
Cardstock: Regal rose, whisper white, so saffron
Punches: Large oval, small oval
Accessories: 1/4" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon (retired), hodgepodge hardware, regal rose 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (retired), nursery suite designer series paper, forget me not keeper (retired), clear embossing powder, brights designer series paper pattern stack
Ros, what a gorgeous gift - i love it.
Cheers
Fi
