Heading off for a day out with friends? Then don't forget the camera! Take a few pics to remind you of all the sunshine, ice lollies, and feel-good fun, then store them in a sweet covered photo album to create a scrapbook with a difference. It's perfect for looking back when the winter sneaks up on us again. But the crafting doesn't have to end there, simply add a selection of beach-inspired rub-ons, stickers, and brads to a notepad, exercise book, and card, to create a fab collection of items that will keep you smiling through any season.

Photo Album

1. Cover the outside of an opaque photo album with ice cream patterned paper using doublesided tape. Add a ‘summer’ sticker to the top right corner and overlap this with a cut out of the same word using 3-D foam pads.

2. Score tiny crosses into the centre of three small paper flowers and fix a button brad to the middle of each. Attach the individual blooms to the left of the summer sticker using 3-D foam pads. To finish, hot-fix three clear crystals to the patterned paper panel on the card front.
