VALENTINE'S BLOG HOP!

Welcome everyone to our Valentine's Day Blog Hop! We have 18 blogs participating and you can expect to find all sorts of Valentines & Love inspiration! After you have visited all of the blog sites, or if you get lost, go to http://www.lovejoypaper.com and leave a comment on her blog for a chance at a grand prize!

My project is a mini-book made from CD/DVD sleeves. Here's what my finished project looks like:

Our Love Story















List of supplies needed:
5 CD/DVD Sleeves
Assortment of cardstock and printed paper cut to 5"x5"
Assortment of embellishments, stamps, letters, ink, buttons, etc.
Assortment of ribbon
Loose leaf rings (small)
Adhesive
Hole punch
Paper trimmer
Photos

Instructions:
1. Punch holes in the CD sleeves on the side for the loose leaf rings. Be sure that the opening of the sleeve is on the opposite side of the punched holes.















2. Start adhering your cardstock and pattern paper to each side of the CD sleeve. Be sure to punch holes in the paper on one side before you adhere the paper to the other side.
** You can use the entire 5x5 piece of paper, or cut it into triangles to mix and match the paper.
** You can also adhere your paper underneath the CD sleeve flap so you can use the inside of the sleeve to store notes, memorabilia, extra photos, movie tickets, concert tickets, etc.







































































3. Now add your title to the front cover.















4. Add photo mats and embellishments to your pages. This is the fun part!







































































5. Add the loose leaf rings to hold the mini-album together; tie ribbons to each ring.




















6. Add photos and any memorabilia!
