fun&chic

best buddy's birthday 


I'M BACK! for a moment, before life gets totally crazy again!

Well, this following album was done some time in April for one of my long-time friend's birthday.
This year, as you guys would notice, is when all my friends turn 18.

I used a My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy  "Tickled Pink" Chipboard album  as the base. the pastel colours and subtle prints and fun shape, J'adore!

The albums layered pages gave me quite a bit of room to play about with texture.

First page was simple, going for an  Audrey Hepburn-esque feel. Prima flower and glitter chipboard. Use bits of American Crafts glitter paper as well.

Second page was more opulent, with lots of ribbons and flower accents. Ribbons used here were from Printribbon.
Stickers were from Daiso!! Oh, the joy of $2. Also features Maya Road Resin Blossoms in Red.  And staple to all my creative escapades, flower accents from Prima. I totally can't recall where the glitter flourish came from though!

This page feature a back-to-school vibe. I can't quite remember where I got my embellishments here from as they were the last few bits of each. I did use a Me & My BiG Ideas jelly sticker. Words were from a Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type set.

Simplest page in the whole book, pictures say a thousand words. This page was travel themed so hence the little paper plane. The square photo stickers were both from Cat Socrates.

Prelude to the last page, which you will see in awhile... Can you feel the Carnival vibe?

The last page is one of my favourite, most crazily colourful pages ever!
