Love is...Me and You

Happy Valentine’s Day and welcome to the Scraps of Color Hearts and Roses Blog Hop!  I, along with some other talented crafters have teamed up to share Valentines and love-themed projects.  Since Valentine’s Day is all about sharing the love, this hop is no exception.  There will be giveaways on various blogs throughout the hop.
Today I’m sharing a little keepsake acrylic album that I created to give to my DH.  It was a labor of love and one that took more time putting together than I thought.  There’s nothing fancy about it since I wanted to highlight the pictures and using such a small space prevented a lot of embellishing.  I am pleased with the way it turned out and I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.  One of the hardest parts was taking the pictures for this post.
 
Front Cover
 
Back Cover
 

 I used paper from the Recollections With Love 6x6 paper pad and the DCWV Year Round 8.5 x11 paper stack.  I used my SLICE to cut the title for the top cover and my CRICUT for the back cover.  All items used have been in my stash for a long time with the exception of the little wooden veneers on the back cover.  The album includes pictures from various events including our wedding, his sister’s wedding, fraternity events and other celebrations.



I hope you have enjoyed my project for this weekend’s blog hop and that you’ll visit the other blogs and leave them some love.  In the spirit of love I will be sharing a surprise giveaway for one person that leaves a comment on this post.  I will select one person by random drawing and post the prize and winner before midnight EST on Monday, February 17, 2014.
