ones to make the book, and glued them together with double sided tape. I used the same paper form my local craft shop, and the cut up lace and pearls on top. Then I added the organza roses to it too.
The center of the card is Spellbinders lacy circles and parisian motif too. Finished it off with an ivory organza bow, with a pearly round button type of thing I make. Basically you use a dob of clear glue gel on a piece of greased paper you find under your sticky pads. Then you pop pearls into it in what ever shape you would like. Any holes you cover with clear glitter. I got this idea after admiring Sue Wilson's on her cards so as I couldn't buy any, I made my own.

Hi Christine,
thank you for your lovely comment on the book. So glad you liked the pearly button idea, been dying to share it with everybody. Did you find your digi image?
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L
Absolutely stunning Jenny. Your grand daughter must have been delighted. What a wonderful keepsake. I did something similar for my sisteer to give to her son on his wedding last year. Since Iwsnn't blogging then I didn't always take pictures. Next time I go north to visit her I think I'll ask my nephew if I can take some pics then I will always have something to post if I run out of time -or ideas!! Love the pearl button too. Thanks for sharing. Christine x
Hi Jenny, if you have kindly replied regarding the digi image site, I'm afraid it hasn't come through and is not showing on my computer? Hugs Christine H xx
Hi Christine,
yes I did reply to your query. As my email isn't getting to you. This is how you access it. Go to google images on firefox and type in Free Digi Images and then it will come up with the couple on my card. I hope you enjoy, and as someone is doing me a big favour, and I need to pay back to some one else in kind if you send me your address in an email I will send you some of the lacy flowers I inherited from my Mother, because I have a very big roll of them. All I ask in return is that you do something at sometime for someone else. A pretty good idea hey not mine but our lovely Linda Burrows.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Hi Jenny, I just popped over to your Blog to see if you have posted anything today and was reading the comments you left replying to our comments and saw that you gave instructions for the Book, I have found it, yippee. This is stunning Jenny, I love how you have made the pearl button on top of the bow, it is stunning, and just as beautiful as the one's that Sue uses, creative genious. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Jan.mogie,

Hi Jenny, firstly what an amazing lady you are! To offer me some of your lacy flowers inherited from your Mother is such a kind and generous gesture. I am lost for words and really just don't know what to say as it was totally unexpected. I do not feel I am worthy of receiving them but I thank you from the bottom of my heart and bless you :).
I am in the throws of downloading Firefox (hope it works, I'm not that technically minded either lol!) so I can access the image and this alone was so kind of you to do for me. I will definitely do something at sometime for someone else and follow Linda's and your idea.
Lots of crafty hugs to you Christine H xx
