This is my eldest daughter's birthday( Annie ) today, and as she has seen the Shabby Chic memory album as it stands ( not nearly finished ), I'm sure she won't mind you seeing the outer covers, I still have some more embellishments to add, but I want to take my time with this one as it will be really special to both of us. All the lace that I've used so far has been vintage , but I will be using some newer lace and embroideries too, although I will age them to fit in with period.
Hope to catch up with your blogs to-night as I have been very busy today. Hugs Rita xxxx

I wanted to thank you for stopping by my "fabric collage" post. It is always so good to have you stop by for a visit.

Hi Rita, first of all I love your card, so classy and elegant. Now onto your fabric book - my jaw dropped...its amazing, gosh I'm stuck for words I love it so much and can't wait to see what you do on the inside. This will certainly be a family Heirloom and so nice it has Vintage Lace used on it.

The card is extremely elegant, a word I use so often when I view your cards and the album covers are beyond beautiful. I can only imagine the work into making an album. You know I am drooling over (not literally!) the vintage laces.
I hope Annie is having a fabulous birthday.
