Here we are again over at
with our LATEST CHALLENGE
and did this make me work outside my comfort zone
but if we put our minds to A CHALLENGE
it can be done and it was so worth it.
Before I begin - A plug for our sponsor for this challenge and it is
who by the way supplied us with our digi for this project.
Mine is Most Special Day - 20601.
Now on to what THE CHALLENGE
for this fortnight is
TO CREATE A MINI ALBUM
This is what I made.
My sister recently celebrated her 70th birthday
so I thought the sentiment on the front cover fitted perfectly.
The photos above tell a story.
You see her good friends Joe and Joanne pictured
came all the way from Scotland to SURPRISE her
and as you can see from the first photo they did JUST THAT.
The other 2 photos are a snap I took of them as a memento and the third one is
my sister enjoying her meal with her Patchwork friend Joanne.
On the back page is a photo of our cousin who travelled
to Scotland in 2009 with us, my two sister's and myself.
The middle photo is my sister with her two grand children
(one couldn't wait so sneaked in a bite of the icing)
before helping her cut the cake.
Her daughter made the cake and had a huge bunch of Scottish Thistles on top.
The third one is her giving her husband a thank you kiss for helping
organize her SURPRISE 70TH BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Here are 2 tutorials I followed
and
Tutorial 2 which also has a Video attached from Dawn Griffiths.
I don't think I need to say too much about what products I used
as it was some designer papers
(which my sister had given me and made the use of them more special)
a few flocked images in the centres and some SU ribbon.
Hope you like what I have made and has given you
the inspiration to enter our challenge with one of your own Special Album.
Thanks
Great album and your sister will love this I am sure. Such a wonderful moment and this small album makes it even more special.

I just wanted to thank you for the lovely comment you left on my Seize the Sketch card. I am honored that you would want to CASE my card. I don't have anything SU. I have a Honeycomb Cuttlebug folder, but haven't checked to see if it would work with the stamps. Thanks again. :)
