18th Birthday

Good Morning All
I had my  hair cut yesterday at a local English salon that trains hairdressers and they did not charge me for it either.  I used to do this when I lived in UK, my hairdresser took on a trainee and asked me if I would let her practice on me, I was quite happy to oblige and will do the same here, so in a couple of weeks she is putting a colour on for me, I will let you know how it goes.
********
Todays card is an 18th using S/B Decorative Labels 22, I have only used this one afew times.




Pink, pink and more pink.

Dies Total = 46
Still got  afew to go, I didn't realise I had so many.
******
This is the Envelope album  that I mentioned yesterday, I made for my neighbour  Susie, it is her birthday on 27th of this month. Tomorrow I will show you the bag I made for it to go into.




Susie is like me, she had a gorgeous Grand daughter back in the UK, so I thought she might like this to store photos of her.


I put 12 envelopes in so that she could use one for each month or even one for each year, depending how many photos she has.





These days most people store photos on computers or memory sticks, as I do, but I do print some and put them in albums that I have made.







 I lined each envelope with different patterned papers and stuck all sorts of embellishments on too.
 and I used these pink shapes and lined some with acetate so she could add  onto any page as a tiny photo frame or use some as tags to write on.

    Hi Wendy. This is definitely a work of art. I bet Susie is delighted.
    Can't wait to see your new hair cut. I used to do this in UK many years ago and saved me quite a bit of money. I never knew what colour hair I'd have next!!
    Lookinag forward to seeing you on Thursday.
    Love Val xxxxx
