and some pinking shears.
Valentine's Day is truly one of my favorite holidays. I have been working on some fun "love" projects and it makes you wanna watch a cheesy chick flick with some Ben and Jerry's. As a matter of fact, late last night when Collin and Avery were in bed, I was finishing this album and turned on "It's Your Love" by Tim McGraw and "When You Say Nothing At All" by Allison Kraus. I'm not ashamed to admit that I listened to those 2 sappy love songs over and over. :)
This was such a fun album because it's something I've never tried before and was inspired by Donna Downey's fabric creations. I used a Rusty Pickle chipboard heart album and covered it with fabric. Then just added pics about a few of my luvs! Some of the pics you can click on to see a closer look or click here.

P.S. Will you be at CHA? Sorry, Didn't know how to email you.
I know that you don't know me, but your blog is one that I keep my eye on for a little inspiration. Anyways, I love this. I am so going to scraplift it.... if you don't mind!
Thanks for being you!
Too cute!!!! Love, love, love it. What adhesive did you use on the fabric?
You are amazing. I love just watching to see what you'll come up with next. If you are ever bored...drop by the shop & share some of your creativity with me. Ever since Avi if I can even get it together to get to work dressed I am feeling like I have accomplished a great deed!!! Love ya!
This book is such a cute treasure that you can put up year after year.
It would also make a fun anniversary gift for a milestone year.
Did you actually have to sew- or would just glue make the cut?
What a cute album. I love the colors and fabrics you chose. So adorable!
This is beautiful and inspiring! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

i love it! can't wait to try it!
This is so stinkin' cute! It makes me want to pull out my old quilting fabric stash and play. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is so awesome! Please let me know how you did this. Did you sew all around the chipboard heart then cut? If so, how hard was it to follow the heart shape with the sewing machine.
Oh my gosh Elizabeth, this is DARLING! Such a clever girl, you are!!
Liz, this is dang cute! Love the fabric. I was wondering how you got such perfect hearts...the chipboard album makes sense. Such inspiration!
This is just GORGEOUS! Love the happy colors. It must be fun to flip through!! Completely LOVE IT!!! TFS!
That is GORGEOUS! So bright and happy! I was also wondering how your hearts were so perfect. I can't decide between this one and Ali Edwards' love book you shared earlier! So inspiring.
Hope you have an amazing Wednesday!

Very cute! Love the fabrics did you get them online somewhere? Or can you share the store.
Thanks Tania
To answer a couple questions...
you actually do have to sew to get the look for this album
I cut out all the hearts first, just lightly glued them to the album to stay on while I sewed them together.
I printed out the pics at home. Sizes range from 1.5"-2.5"
yes this is a present...for myself!!:) And hopefully Avery to enjoy someday. She's not allowed to touch it right now:)
I got them at a local store in Utah. But the designer is Moda "all you need is love" line
Super cute Liz!! Very inspiring. I've had this Bo bunny word book(Love) and I think I may cover it with same fabric. i need to get into my sewing anyway. Great job girly!
this is super cute elizabeth :]
