Welcome to PPA #35! This week's challenge is Anything But a Card. Hope you'll join us and play at PPA!
I was so excited to receive my On Board Heart Book from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I couldn't wait to start decorating it immediately. I chose my papers from the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack as well as from the Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the way the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers all complement each other. I used different papers on the backs and fronts of each page.
I thought this heart-shaped board book would make a great birthday album for someone special so I stamped Happy Birthday from the Vintage Labels Stamp Set in Real Red onto Whisper White cardstock inside of the Curly Label stamp using my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I then punched out the label with my Curly Label Punch. (Gina's Tip: Stampin' Up! does a great job of matching the stamp sets to the punches to get a beautiful, finished look on every project.) As a final touch, I colored in the sides of the board book pages using my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. Please note: The key ball chain comes with the board book pages to hold them all together.
Now, this book is ready to hold photos, inner-most thoughts, decorations, etc. I only hope I can part with it!
Hope you enjoyed this project! If you did, please feel free to leave me a comment. I love hearing from you. And, please don't forget to play at PPA!
