80th birthday

 Hi Everyone, some more of why I have been so busy. Our very long time friend had his birthday last week and I made the Thermometer card  for him. We don't buy presents for each other, but this calls for a celebration methinks, so we bought some Champagne for him to celebrate. I couldn't give it to him as it was and in the morning of us going to his Tea Party, I realised I hadn't got any bottle bags. Off to Silhouette again, (told you in my last post I had been busy with it).

I cut the bottle top with gold card, then added the bottle image with his name and age and greeting. I then printed it out and cut it with the Silhouette. Attached to the gold bottle topper.

I made the bottle cover on my scoreboard by following the instructions HERE.
 I lengthened and made the width larger of the design to fit the bottle. I also added 2 die cut circles to the bottom one outside and one inside, to help with the weight of the bottle.

You did a fabulous job on the bottle cover. It is soooo much prettier and more special than a bottle bag. I am sure it made him feel very loved and special.

Well aren't you just clever Faith?! I love the personalized bottle tag but what I find really fun too is the bottle cover! How fun to make your own. I will have to check that out. I also love that you are giving Allan some champagne as at 80 he deserves it. I love that you are really using your cutting machine a lot lately!!! You know how much I love mine. Hugs, Brenda

What a lovely thing to do Faith - the champagne would have been happily received without the cover I'm sure but the way you have dressed it makes it so much more special. Hope you enjoyed the tea party! Vicky x
