here's a quick mini book that i made over the weekend to celebrate valentine's day. i started with a 5x6 chipboard mini book that i bought years ago from peachy cheap. sorry i don't remember who makes it. and then on a recent visit to michael's i found this beautiful anna griffin paper from the valentina collection on sale for .29! i knew then that the two were meant for this. add in some ek success dimensional heart stickers, a circle punch, ivory cardstock and some making memories word stickers from a few years ago and voila this mini was born.
i painted the maya road chipboard frame and heart in cream colored paint. the rest was just glued back to back. i printed the photos to 5x7 at costco and then trimmed them to size. unfortunately, i forgot to get the photos printed in lustre and now have to worry about getting fingerprints all over the photos, but i'll live with it.
with this mini i wanted a place to note the things that we love right now. i could have had everyone fill in their own things. i could have also written what i love about each person. i'll keep those ideas for another year.
are you creating something special for valentine's day. if so, please share.
