Off The Page 60th Album

Hi everybody, thought I would share the album pics and details, that I gave my sister-in-law for her 60th birthday yesterday.

I was happy with the way it has turned out, I used a Kaisercraft 60th Album, sanded the album around the edges, I like them very smooth and rounded, then gave the edges a coat of black acrylic paint.

The pages were covered with a beautiful range of paper from the My Memories range sheets # 150105 & #150108 purchased from Riot Art & Craft also black bazzill cardstock. After the pages were covered I painted them with 2 coats for each page of Plaid Royal Coat Decoupage Finish. I always allow at least 12 hours between coats to cure a little before I re-coat.

Then I have added the triple photo matts in white, glitter grey & black bazzill and trimmed with an assortment of flowers also from Riot Art & Craft 'Forever In Time' collection of Chipboard Gem Blossoms and some I made using the Sizzix Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die, also a Cheery Lynn die called Fanciful Flourish #B117 which I cut in the grey glitter cardstock.

I used Stampin Up Sizzix dies Big Beautiful Butterfly & Beautiful Wings Embosslits to cut the butterfly on the front cover. The letters and numbers were from Thickers Dear Lizzy & American Crafts Glitter Letter White Stickers Item # 53032.

An assortment of ribbons obtained from the Imagination Factory and I Do also a Kaisercraft wooden flourish painted in Jo Sonjas Series 2 Pearl White and a little bling pearls and a Prima black flourish and a Rub On sentiment from the Sullivans Heritage set # 50411 purchased from Lincraft to finish.

I hope this gives everybody inspiration to have a go at completing one of these beautiful albums that come in an assortment of styles. Once decorated it becomes extremely hard to part with them.

Enjoy, thanks for stopping by.
