Lovebirds

What's not to love about Doodlebug Designs' Lovebirds Collection?

Nothing that I can think of!  I had a ball creating this heart-shaped album with nothing

but goodies from Doodle Bug

I've had a package of chipboard 'conversation' hearts in my stash for quite a long time now.

They're a nice size and heavyweight and great for a mini album.

 After tracing and cutting out the heart shapes from different Lovebirds papers, I used 

a heart doily and a couple of oval die-cut shapes for the matting.  To achieve placement of 

the sticker letters, I always start with the middle letter and work out on either side.  I overlapped each

one a bit so that I wouldn't run out of room.

And you know I love trimming out the edges of the album with twine
as an extra-nice finishing touch!

Areas of journaling are an important aspect to mini albums...at least I think so!  

Whether it's a full page dedicated to journaling or just a side note, it's a good idea to make a 

spot somewhere.  Doodlebug collections give a variety of options to your noting needs :)

Fun around every corner!  Mini notecards and envelopes, heart-shaped pearls and gems, 

every color and pattern of washi under the sun.

Make a washi bow!  I applied a length of washi to a sheet of cardstock and then cut.

Using a stylus or pen, gently roll the washi-cardstock until you've formed two loops.  Just 

take a scrap piece and glue around the center.

I love adding little details like stitching X's with twine or creating a sweet border effect.

With a piercing tool, mat, decorative template, twine and a large needle, you can create all sorts of 

amazing designs to make your mini album or project unique!

So glad you've dropped by to see me!  Last week was kind of a crazy-blur, so I'll be
