Valentine's Day Mini Album

Hello 2024!! I know it is New Year's Day but...we are back for Mini Album Mania #3 and I have made a Meandering Book/Album for the next big holiday, Valentine's Day. It took just one 12" x 12" sheet of medium weight patterned paper to make it! Here is the tutorial for the book/album by Helen Griffin. It has 7 pockets holding a pull-out insert with a cute image and message on each. The pockets alternate between top or side openings.

Ellen Hutson and Jane's Doodles stamp sets (plus a few older wooden sentiment stamps) were used for the images on the inserts. The mats on the front/back of the album are made from silver cardstock and Stampin' Up! patterned paper. There is one blank insert to be used for a personal hand-written message.

I die cut the heart from a piece of Pink and Main Inked Oasis paper using the smallest Simon Says Stamp Wonky Hearts die. I also used a Pink and Main Large Sentiment Strip die for the banner and stamped the sentiment on it using an older wood Stampin' Up! stamp. 

I grabbed a 1" circle punch for the thumb tabs in order to grab the inserts from the pockets. The album measures 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and is a simple project that I can see myself making for different occasions such as birthdays and Christmas.

We hope you will join us for this challenge. We love sharing our projects but we also learn from yours as well!

See you in the gallery!
