Rainmac - that is so beautiful! I love the cross stitch letters you are making at the minute, they are so pretty. Such a lovely gift idea! Great that it comes in a giftbox too, a lovely keepsake!

Melissa, I love both of your cards! How have you done the hedgehog? He is gorgeous.

Thanks all for the lovely comments about the album. It took ages to do the research and plan what to put where but it's finally finished and I'm really pleased with it. And surprisingly, the OH thinks it's great, you could have knocked me down with a feather :rotfl: Melissa, the alphabet letters are from a Lizzie Kate chart called ABC Crazy. Used it 3 times so far. I think I'm going to stitch another 'L' to go on the Christening card.

Thanks for all your kind comments. The hedgehog is decoupage, its from a range called patchwork kingdom I think, there's two designs to a sheet. They are really easy to do as the designs are big so there's no fiddly bits to cut out. I got the sheet from bedazzleddesigns and I got the matching backing paper from there too.
The letters do look lovely Rainmac, I love the frayed edges on the aida.
