55 1/2 birthday party gift!

Me and my mum were invited to a 55 1/2 years birthday party of a dear friend of ours. Why did she celebrate her 55 1/2 birthday you may ask? Her birthday is originally in January and she always wanted to have a summer party on her birthday, like she could have when living in New Zealand or Australia for example. Here in Austria it is always cold and wet in January.
She wants to make a cruise next year from Le Hawre to New York on a cargo ship as her grand mother did many years ago. So all her friends made money presents to support her dream.

I used a white stretched canvas, turned it around and put all kind of stuff related to a summer birthday party and holiday/road trip on it. On the right is a small peg where I put the envelope with the money. I also used two rub-ons with beautiful sentiments which are suitable for our friendship and memories we won't forget, like this party.

Happy Birthday frame!

My best friend is also the god mother of our child and therefore I wanted to make her a present including pictures with the both of them.
As I enjoyed making the canvas "Bora Bora" for my friend's wedding, I decided to make a birthday frame.
Again, I used a square streched canvas and sprayed it white before I decorated it.

I used a lot of yellow paper and washi tape, to show that her birthday is in the middle of summer.
Butterflies are her favourite animals, therefore I put 3 butterflies and also 3 flowers on it.
To receive a 3D-effect I clued the "Happy Birthday" sentiment on 3 strings of lace.

I like the outcome:

Let's go to Bora Bora!

On the Whitsunday weekend we were invited to a wedding in Ireland. A college friend of mine got married to a nice Irish fellow. As they are moving back to Austria soon the best present for them was money for their honeymoon to Bora Bora. 
So I was looking for a nice packaging and found the perfect idea at herzglücksgeschenk.  The owner is Alex Rath who also runs the Stoffsalon. 
For me it was essential that the present was easy to carry by plane.

I used a square streched canvas and sprayed it white before I decorated it. The pictures are from the very same hotel the newlyweds are staying.

Unfortunately, my only picture of the frame is out of focus.

Doris & James, I hope you had an unforgettable honeymoon at Bora Bora.

I loved to make this frame and I am already thinking of making a second one. For whom? That can't be told at this stage. ;-)
