This wonderful Friendship Album was made a few months ago by my daughter for her best friends birthday. It includes pictures and a short story about her friend.

The Mini Heart Album is decorated with Kaisercraft’s Shaken Not Stirred collection which is normally used for masculine projects but, in this case, the mainly red papers have been used to give a feminine effect. Paper flowers and rhinestones have also been used along with offcuts of ribbon to decorate the album rings.

The products used to make the album include:

• Shaken Not Stirred paper collection
• SB156 – Mini Heart Album
• F624 – Midnight Paper Flowers
• F610 – Poppy Paper Flowers
• SB777 – Black Rhinestones
• SB711 – Red Rhinestones
• M024 – Red Book Rings
• Offcuts of ribbon
• Rub-ons

I was looking through some old photographs of relatives and decided that these, taken in the late 50′s, would be fantastic for use in a Display Frame. I used the Kaisercraft Shaken Not Stirred collection because its bold colours and patterns were a perfect match to the pictures.

I painted the frame with Kaisercolour acrylic paint, then a layer of Crackle Glaze and finally another layer of paint – this gave it a distressed, almost leather-like, look. I used some appropriate rub-ons and a tie (tied from a short length of ribbon) to match the “Lads” theme.

This would make a pretty cool gift for Fathers Day coming up in June.
