That album is beautiful! I'm like NEE--I love the look of the word albums. I'm hoping to maybe make a LOVE one for DH for Valentine's Day. It looks really difficult, though!!
You guys think it's really ok? THANK YOU! I'm so insecure when I try something odd - and this was like "messy" to me - usually everything is straight, square, bazzill, tidy, you know!
Bernard and MissB - don't be intimidated! If you're not afraid of inking and chalking and sanding (like me), it's not that hard. I followed the comments of someone here only I drew around the pieces on the backside of the paper instead of cutting out with exacto knife.
I'm thinking I should have glued the chipboard to the paper first and done what she said - cut with the knife, because there was a little too much paper overhanging, which made the sanding difficult - and around the curves of the E - OYE! (
Stitch is - you should be glad there's only one E in LOVE!)
Yes, the dangly things are wine charms - which I crimped the closure with pliers, pulled it up into the chipboard and then squeezed the circle into an oval.
The other thing I wish I'd done was use a coordinated pack of paper, like one of the Basic Grey packs, or the CM starry night pack - I had a lot of trouble getting papers of similar "intensity". I hope the recipient likes it - and i'm glad you gals did!
