Roger's 40th Birthday

What a fabulous few days away we had for Roger's 40th Birthday. I kept it a complete surprise & he didn't know were we were going or what we were doing till 3 hours before we set sail. I had even packed his suit case for him so he no idea what he was wearing each day either lol. This first picture is of the hotel we staid in as you can see it is right on the edge of the canal and was very romantic.

I made his card in the crop at Running With Scissors on a Friday afternoon with some of my lovely crafting buddies. Some time ago I was given some wall paper samples and being a crafter I new they would come in handy one day so the silver paper under each square is a wall paper sample. The large 40 in the middle are chip board shapes that I embossed with silver embossing powder. The sparkly background was made using stamping up heat & stick powder topped with stamping glitter dazzling diamonds. Hidden inside were he tickets to Bruge.

I got us upgraded to a club class cabin so we could have a double bed at 6ft 4" Roger & bunks don't quite go. The cabin came with some lovely extras one of witch was free champain.

The scenery in Bruge was just stunning and I could sit here all day showing you picture after picture of some of the most stunning architecture but I don't think you would appreciate that so here are just a couple of my favourites.
