Happy Valentine's Day

To all the lovers out there - Happy Valentines Day!

Now hubby and I are not the most romantic couple in the world (understatement of the year there! LOL)... but we DO make it a point each day to tell the other how much we love them. So Valentine's isn't really something we 'do' much. BUT we always get or make a card for each other.... and I try to have a nice 'special' meal that night too - with kids its a little hard to get out for dinner, so we have something 'spesh' at home.

This year though I've made him a little book filled with lots of quotes about love that truly say how I feel about him (altogether now - awwwwwwwww...). I used the step-by-step challenge that one of Cath's fabulous DT at LSBS supplied for her cybercrop last weekend, and it was so simple, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. So is hubby - he loved it - and has even taken it inot work to show all the teachers in the staff room *blush*

Anyway here it is..... will pop in as many pics as blogger will let me LOL!




This is the front cover....









The front 3 pages.....









The 'back' 2 pages.....









Close ups of the front 3.....








And these are the flipside pages!








I've used black and white Bazzill for the pages, and SU! Whisper White to stamp the SU! Floral background stamp on using Basic Black and Real Red inks to make the 'patterned paper'. The "love" on the front cover was using the Big Deal Alpha set (from the mini - sorry guys) and Real Red ink. And I've embellished with assorted red primas, retro flower punchies, and red and black brads. Plus a few rubons and the quote stickers - and 'voila' a mini book. I hope you like it - I know we were really happy with it ;)
