It was a friend's birthday recently so seeing as she has helped me through many a difficult time over the last 3-4 years I wanted to make her something special. Anything made with the Crafty Purple Frog images is special but I put my thinking cap on. It had to be a Crafty Purple Frog project as I got my friend addicted after I became addicted. Amy does such good work making these from Ching Chou-Kuik images. I then couldn't decided which images to use that I'd bought and which images not to use so guess what I did - I made an album project using them all using lots of 14cm x 14cm cards!!! Yes, the whole project took many many weeks to complete and about 25-30 hours' of work and ended up many inches deep when tied together by the ribbon. Every single image used was gorgeous and I tried to do them justice with the backing papers, embossing and embellishments I used and these included Lace, ribbon, bows, pearls, gems, flowers, brads etc etc. I have to either ink with an ink pad or a Promarker all edges of paper/card but I wonder how many pieces I actually inked for this project??? I posted the item well early and had to have a bit of a wait to see if my friend liked or not - and she did!!!!!
I am entering this project into the following challenges:

Trust me everyone I love it - I had to scrape my jaw off the floor when I opened it. Then I had tears in my eyes - it takes pride of place on a shelf in my craft room now - and every now and then I have to turn it round as it is double sided!
I have to say it is the most amazing birthday card I ever received.
Kym is a fantastic friend.
That's an amazingly brave project! :) Looks great!
Hugs,
Lia
