this year for valentine's day, i decided to make andrew a gift. i got the inspiration from color me katie. she has the cutest ideas ever! anyway, i had a lot of fun making it so decided to post it on my blog. it turned out super girly so i baked andrew a cake to make up for it. haha!
this is what happens when you leave your camera on manual focus and then forget to change it back to autofocus... oops!
here's the cover...
"hi."
"i have a surprise for you"
"ready?"
"Happy Valentines Day!i love you
2.14.10"
the back...it's pretty self-explanatory and you can probably figure out how to make it just by looking at it, but just in case:
what you'll need:
cardboard
glue
scissors
paper (i used scrapbooking paper)
cardstock
ribbon/lace
wallet-sized photos of yourself
embellishments
photo corners (optional)
*you can cut out cardboard into any shape you want and punch a hole at one end. i just bought the cardboard pre-cut =) makes life easier.
*cut out the scrapbooking paper/cardstock in the same shape as the cardboard and glue it on. glue your photos on to the paper. (i then used sticky photo corners to make sure they don't fall off)
*decorate with embellishments (paper flowers, rhinestones, brads, buttons, ribbon, lace, etc.)
*tie it all together with some ribbon.
have fun! =)
