Anniversary Mini

Hi everyone!

This year I made an Anniversary Mini Album for my husband, as one of his gifts. It was hard to create because I barely have time for much these days, but I worked on it on late hours of the night for about a week and a half, and here's what I made.

I challenged myself to NOT use ANY flowers in this album (gasp! LOL), and I succeeded! I have NEVER NOT used flowers on my projects. I'm a flower addict, really LOL. It was hard at first, but I resisted the temptation!

The title of the album is Ten things I Love About You, and this is obviously about my husband :) I used a bunch of different Sizzix Dies and brought out the techniques, and I like how it came out.

I used some gold charms in the binding, and one of the charms I even alcohol inked.

I tried to make it as simple as manly and simple as possible, and used the Granola collection of papers from Basic Grey. Hey, it's an old collection, but it's new to me! LOL

I made lots of tags, pull outs and even a mini inside the mini. I distressed like crazy all over the place!


This is the view of two of the pages with al the tags in it.This is how it looks with all the tags out of the pockets.

For a more detailed view, and a description of all the techniques and products I used, please watch the following series of 3 videos.
