Surprise!

Last week I was asked by a lovely friend of mine if I would make a card and co-ordinating gift bag for her mum. She wanted to invite her to her very own 70th celebration.  The family are taking her away for a short break

and the little gift bag was going to be filed with a brochure and maps ( sort of clues ) to where she was going! A lovely idea! Well this is what I came up with and I'm happy to say it was perfect! I really enjoyed making it for her and the fancy fold card technique was given by Julie kettlewell. (SU Demo)
