This is my second year doing #weekinthelife a really fun project developed by @aliedwards

I keep things simple by aiming to shoot just one photo a day.  I usually end up with more, but if I don't, I'm not gonna sweat it.

Ray also helps me with this project πŸ’•, so I'll be sharing some of his images this week as well

Analog Paper | I Love You Because Mini Album

Mini Album | I Love You Because

July 28, 2014 in Mini Albums

Today, I'm so excited to share my I Love You Because mini album. I gave it to the BF for his birthday and it's one of my absolute faves. It's also one of the simplest mini albums I've ever made.

I used a basic 2 ring construction with a chipboard cover. To give the chipboard more weight, I covered it with 3 layers of gesso. And to finish off my cover, I added a simple monogram using a small wood slice as a base for an AC Thickers sticker.

I kept the overall concept for the album really simple too. In a nutshell, it's a list of reasons why I love my BF. On the first page, I attached a small vellum envelope containing a little note to him. Then, on each subsequent page, I included a bit of type opposite patterned paper and a single embellishment. I also included a few of our favorite selfies from this past year throughout the album.

The album came together really quickly because I kept my composition consistent--I simply centered my embellishments onto my patterned papers and I was done. I used Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere everything, except for the cute paperclips which I decided to hand stitch on to my pages.

When choosing my materials I restrained my over the top girly inclinations .  . . it was after all a present for the BF. You'll notice the sequins were kept to a minimum and I chose a range of timeless patterns. All the paper is by the talented Liz Tanamaha fom her Paislee Press line.
