Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop and whether you’re starting the hop here or have hopped over from Eimear, then welcome. The theme this month is all that encompasses Love and Hearts.
With Valentines just around the corner, I couldn’t help but think of the love in my life … my husband. I’m a very lucky girl, as he is an incredibly supportive man who I feel honoured to call my husband, so with him in mind, I came up with this ensemble.
Firstly a simple card that says I Love You without actually having to say it …. A real collage of shapes, textures and colour. It was my intention to avoid Real Red for this theme and to use something quite different …. and quite fresh.
The wooden embellishment surround forms the front of the book and the protective cardboard from the embellishment pack covered with cardstock, forms the back. In between it’s just cardstock, scored and folded concertina style to form the pages.
I so love the acetate overlay that seemed so fitting to frame the photo of us on our wedding day.
With us both loving Black and White photo’s, I decided to use these within the album. It allowed the flashes of colour to really pop.
Well there you have it …. Love and Hearts and hopefully something here will have captured your heart and inspired you to creating something for someone special in your life.
Be sure to hop on over to see what delights the lovely Lesley has in store for you this month, I’m sure she won’t disappoint.
Happy Hopping

LOVE the mini book album – you're so clever lady – and what a wonderful little keepsake he can carry with him – I am soooo going to case this idea – I have a few army wife friends, who might appreciate this as something for their hubby to take with them when they're posted away. Fabulous!!!
The photo book is absolutely gorgeous. Victoria xxx

I love how you show such fab and new ways to use things like the Project Life kits. The colours are gorgeous and as for the little photo book – priceless! I *love* it. x
Oh my word …..l what a stunning trio of projects that I know your hubby will love. I love that idea of a photo book and using the Project Life kits for other creations. Fabulous as always !
Oh WOW …. I'm overwhelmed by all of your wonderful comments … Thank you!!
I seriously had no idea what to create, opened up the Project Life kit and allowed myself to get lost in 'play' … I did enjoy it and perhaps that shows. Maybe I need to get 'lost in play' a little more often 😉
Thank you all for such kind comments, I'm sure hubby will love it xxx
