This is the present I made for my husband. Using many sketches and probably 20+ hours of work, I made my first paper bag mini album! This post will be very picture heavy, and not alot of descriptions about products used, because it would take forever to list. I did use my Cricut to cut out the inserts and all of the hearts in the project. I hope you enjoy it though. I am pretty proud of it, and most importantly, my husband loved it!
I made this project with my husband in mind, but it does fit a few challenges, so I will enter it in these challenges:
Crafty Ann's- Elvis Song "Portrait of My Love"
Digi Doodles- Ribbons and Bows
Stampin Sisters- something hidden from first view
One Stitch At a Time- something for the boys
Sentimental Sundays- Let's get sentimental
Secret Crafter- anything but a card
Amber's Crafts- use a die cut
An absolutely fantastic project - no wonder your husband loved it. Your choice of Elvis song is perfect too, thank you for sharing it with us at Crafty Ann's
