The flash is fading the colour out but I wanted to show you guys! What do you think of the finish? The ribbon says "sit long talk much laugh often". The buttons and charms are various ones I've collected. But two of the buttons are from my gran's collection, my mums mum. I though it was a nice touch.

I've only just seen this thread and it is fantastic. I love the way you have finished it as well. Your mum is going to be delighted. I see a lot of Lizzie Kate designs on here. Think I might have to go and investigate.!
