Art Journal Week 19 - Suprise!!!

Fabulous prompt this week. I had to make it quick while the inspiration was fresh in my mind.
Spotted paper is Dena's Closet. Hearts cut using my Ellison Big Shot, (Eliot) using Dovecraft papers, Amethyst. It documents the most fab suprise I had this year when my work mates did a collection to pay for my make up (air brushed) & nails (french manicure). My friend Louise then took me to a paid professional photo shoot. It was a day to remember. My sister, Tracy send gorgoeus flowers. We went for a meal after the shoot & it was such an amazing experience. Something I will always remember.
There was money left over from the collection to pay for half the photos I selected & I got a large photo free with the sitting.
