Done and redone

I spent most part of the evening with my mother, embellishing and adding to a predone scrapbook that she is giving to someone we know in Italy (my parents and brother are flying to Italy next Saturday and coming back 2 weeks later.) Though the album itself isn't all that nice, it was "interesting" to work with what was already done on the pages and try to add to it. We managed to find ribbons of similar colors to embellish, some buttons, a bit of cardstock and some flowers. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about scrapbooking or even art, it's not a bad gift. She'll be looking at the pictures more than the rest anyway...
