Kaisercraft Time Machine - Happy 100th Birthday Book

I was asked to make a special 100th Birthday card for a close family friend.  I have only made two other 100 Birthday cards before...its a bit special really and quite an honour!  This 100th Birthday Card turned into a book as the person requesting it wanted photos and messages from everyone in the family.

I altered a little Close to my Heart Book that I had with the Kaisercraft Time Machine Collection.  Time Machine was perfect for this project because of the masculine colours and feel to the papers and the little quotes all tied in well with the celebration of 100 years of life.

I used Kaisercraft Alpha Chipboard  for the sentiment on the front of the book and inked them with Bark Ink.

This was the first page as you open the book.

After taking the photos and sending the book away I thought about sharing this project on my blog.  However I wanted the messages and names of the people in the book to remain private.  So I edited the photos afterwards to white out the text.

Each page inside consisted of a photo and a matching birthday message from each section of the family.

The papers and collectables did all the work on this project.

I used a Copic marker to change the white spiral binding to a more rustic look and Kaisercraft "Vintage" ink to add some distressing to the edges of the pages.

The last pages I added some quotes, collectables and stickers.

I was happy with how it turned out and all the family loved it : )

Happy 100th Birthday and Magnolia Candy!!!

Hi Blogging Beauties,

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

I did...today I have been making cards, washing clothes, and tidying up out in the chook yard...trimming some trees, pulling out some weeds, watering etc.

I had a request from Ben's Nan to make her two 100 year old birthday cards.

I have never made one of these cards before.

The cards were going to the same lady, but from two different organisations.

So I wanted them to look quite different.

The first one came together easily because I followed my standard design that I can make in my sleep now I think!  The second one I struggled with, but eventually got it over the line.  I was trying to make them, what I thought, would be appealing to an elderly lady.  The cards are not really to my tastes.  But Ben's Nan thought they were beautiful...thank goodness!

However, here is something that is to my tastes! 

This beautiful Flying Angel Tilda.

She is my current blog candy.

She is a never-been used mounted stamp.

I will be a little sad to see her go, but the reality is I have too many of these Maggies and I need to farm them out good homes!

If you would like to win her all you need to do is leave a comment on this post and be a follower of my blog.  It is that easy!

Thanks for popping on over and seeing me.

I hope you have a lovely day.
