To have and to hold...

Remember I showed you this picture of the Tando Creative horseshoe that I made for my son's wedding?  Well now I am going to show you the book that I altered to present it in.

This also features a piece of Tando Creative Chipboard, the lovely branch of leaves which I combined with Wild Orchid flowers to match those on the horseshoe.  The papers are Websters and also some K& Co.  I've smudged the date in the photo deliberately.


 It fastens at the side with velcro and ribbon.

When you open it the horseshoe is inside as well as an appropriate poem.


I hope you enjoyed seeing this as much as I enjoyed making it.


I thought I would also show you what the 'book' was made from, it was a Christmas present from my other son and his girlfriend, I'm on my last bottle of shower gel, but I hope the book will be treasured for a little bit longer.
