Giftset for my dad´s 60th birthday

Good morning to all in blog land :)

I spent most of my time yesterday at a friend´s house making this giftset for my dad. Those of you who visits me on a regular basis knows we´re soon off to Egypt celebrating his birthday! He turn´s 60 soon and that calls for a big celebration! :)

I bought this album at the Magnolia store in Borås early this summer and it´s so typical me to not start off working with it until yesterday. I used my favourite patterned papers for this project. They´re from Tim Holtz. All the edges on the album has been painted with Crackle paint picket fence (also from Ranger ;)) Most of the floers comes from Magnolia and so does the image. Isn´t this Edwin just the cutest thing?? I´ve been using him for most of my cards for men :) My dad´s name is Hans and that´s why the thickers spells that out ;) I hope my father will like this special gift!

I´m very honoured so many of you wanted to stick with me even since my candy is now over :) But I think I have to be very clear however ;) The candy is over now and a lucky winner was drawn yesterday. If you want to follow me that´s just swell but unfourtunatley the candy is over and done with..;)

Now I´m off to pack some last minute things and be sure to think about us in the morning at 5.30 am. That´s when the plane takes off! ;) Sunny days, here we come!
