More than a Birthday card - Maja Design

Hello all my beautiful friends
I am so grateful to have you here .

 On May 21st , my twin sister Lorraine and I celebrated our 65th Birthday . 
'Twins' ... celebrating 65 years together x
I am on the right .

Below are some early photos of us
 when we were age 5, with our friend Libby .

We were age 23 here .
we had this photo on our business card for our first hairdressing salon in 1973
Salon Gemini .

I wanted to create a special card
 so I decided to use a concertina Base and add lots of tags and notes
 as a celebration of our life together .'Twins' ... celebrating 65 years together x


'NOTE BOOK /CARD'

When I handed it to Lorraine her eyes lit up and she smiled and laughed 
as she took in all the details,
 the bits and pieces and all the memories I journalled about .
 Here is a view of the side section, 
showing how the concertina foundation is perfect for holding the tags and cards in place. 
This paper collection has the perfect tags , a calendar and little darling butterflies .
 All the items can be lifted out and moved around . 
Nothing is glued in permanetly so I can also add items later if desired  .


 I included some photos when we were small children in a little tag/pocket .

 Inside this tag/card holds some photos, quotes and some journaling .
I had such fun creating this project I am making another one for my daughter .

 Thanks for popping by my little blog
 and happy scrapping until next time we meet here .. take care x

  20. This is just the most beautiful thing ever... I love twins :) wonder why:) you and your sis look so alike too... how much fun you must have had.... I would have gotten my twin into sooooo much trouble I am sure ;) ... I think that this is such a treasure and I love that you can still add to it. I think Tardy would love one like this too and while you are at it what about one for Ella Jai... you can add soooo much to that one. This is beautiful and you are so thoughtful. xox
