This project took me almost all afternoon! I didn't realize that there are 8 chipboard shapes in these albums (from the Ocassions Mini). I went with the Heart, thinking it would be easier cutting out those shapes...geez!
All the front pages are the same, and the backs I alternated pink and brown.
I traced the hearts onto my papers and cut them out (16 of them!!!). Then I just use a glue stick and cover the chipboard, lay my paper on it, put a piece of scratch paper over top of that, and rub it all over for a few minutes to get it all down and secured.
Busted out my Pretties Kit again and dyed them in a plastic stamp container with some water and a few drops of reinker. I used Pretty in Pink at first, but that was too light, so I added some Rose Red.
To give the cardstock some added interest, I ran my Very Vintage jumbo wheel across the back with Pretty in Pink ink. I didn't change ink cartridges on the Cocoa, and the ink kind of disappeared...oh well. Live and learn!
Now all I have to do is find some pictures to add to it.
