Valentine's Mini Album

This was a mini album I did for Valentines day using mostly the Pink Paislee line. (there is a little Bo Bunny paper mixed it too!) I had a lot of fun working with all of these items. The tabs of the front spell "LOVE" and on the back says "XOXO" There is a lot of ribbon on the rings along with chipboard keys that I inked and stamped over, a fragment with the "S.W.A.K" and then a clear heart with the writing stamped on it.
The circle on the cover is a stamp that I inked and embossed, and then took a die cut from the collection and popped it up in the center. I added a handle to the cover and tied a heart lock and key around it. I decided to tittle the album "My Future Heartbreakers."

On the inside cover I added some more inked keys and then used a new ledger stamp and punch to add some journaling. Last year for Valentines Day we got the boys two shirts. The first one says "I'm the man of your dreams" and the second one says "heart breaker." So this album is a photo shoot we did in both of those shirts.

I cut out the heart that says "be mine", added glossy accents to it and then popped it up over the ribbon.

The pink paislee line comes with a few fabric swatches I cut out a piece and wrapped it around a button at the top of the picture. Then I used another piece for the background of the die cut at the bottom of the page.

I love the look of the cursive writing stamp, and I used it on the acrylic hearts using Staz-On ink. I also used it on cream cardstock and used it for the background of the picture.

I used another piece of fabric and sewed one side and pulled it together to make a flower, and added a brad to the middle. I then placed it on a die cut piece with wording around it. Since the background paper has words all over it, I added glossy accents to some of the words to help them stand out.

I love these spinners, and this one was perfect for a Valentine's mini album. If I put it on a page it would take up almost the whole thing, so instead I punched holes and made it an extra page inside the album!

I used Tim Holtz heart and wings and then painted them with crackle paint. I added a Heidi Swapp clock and spinners to finish the page. I love how the heart and wings matches his shirt! I also used the core'dinations paper, embossed it, then sanded it to show the red underneath. It makes a perfect background for the picture.
