Creo by Lady Katutz: Getting Crafty on a Wedding Gift for Mark & Tin

Hi everyone!

I would like to share with you the wedding gift we've prepared for a family friend whom we've met just last year of 2011. We weren't expecting to be invited for we've only known the bride-to-be for only recently. But we've find her close to us like a family friend. =)

I had a cross-stitch reserved waiting for the right wedding and my mom chided me to give it as a gift to the couple. The cross-stitch pattern of which I found while travelling to Luang Prabang, LAOS and it has remained special and dear to me. With much care, I immediately stitched the name of the couple and their wedding date just last Dec. 2011 in time for the day today Jan. 15th of 2012.

My cross-stitch instead of having it framed, we decided to make it a cover of a scrapbook album my mom and I found. Instead of a good photo, my cross-stitch looked so sweet adorning the pink printed shaped scrapbook album. A perfect wedding gift - a wedding scrapbook album. My mom added a gift certificate and I started scrapping the 1st 2 pages of the album for the bride and groom. I guess both my cross-stitching and scrapbooking talent were put into use. =)

Here are photos of our gift for the couple:
