Valentine's Mismatched Mini Album

I like to share a custom order made for a friend who just celebrated their 3rd year anniversary & Valentine's Day.

It was another mismatched mini album, and this time 

I added lots of romance & love 'mood' in the craftmanship. I chose a very soft blue color theme, used many pattern papers with romantic letter prints and hearts. Frills & burlap flowers for embellishment. I also created a pocket with a blank love letter, so that my friend could write something for his Juliet. A sweet surprise!. I can't help it but created a mini tag book inside this mini album. Love is in the air.

If you have noticed, I'd used the original design from 'Domestic Goddess' mini album that I created for my late mother. Posted about it earlier this month. For this mini album, I simply tweaked the size of the papers and used cool color embellishments. Just dressed the album a little bit more girlish.


Thank you for visiting.

Movie Poster Valentine's Day Layout

I love this unique challenge site called From Screen 2 Scrap!. I always loved scrapping about movies...so I like to try make a layout based on their February challenge; Movie Poster "Valentine's Day".

Here is the inspiration:

To get extra 6 bonus points, you must use two hearts on the page (1 pt), black background (2 pts) and at least 10 tiny photos (3 pts).

...and this is my interpretation:

I actually used black gesso to cover my pink cardstock. This is going to be my background. I left a few pink spots here and there.

I wrote the journaling at the bottom as if it is the movie credits, like in the poster. I wanted my layout to be looking similar to the movie poster. So I used many tiny photos in film strips, glued on bright pink corrugated papers as background. 

My movie characters are basically my three cats, and I doodled each of their names on the spots where I left the background bare. Tried to mimic the actors' names on the poster :). I used minimal embellishments, just a crochet flower and a few buttons. I made a heart from a twine!. Lastly, I added a stamped heart and 
wrote 2.14.12 in the center, to imitate the heart @ the bottom of the movie poster.


It's a fun layout for me. Thank you for visiting.
