Believe

I created this real paper and glue and ribbon mini album for Christmas 2007. My journaling on the inside front cover started with the sentence “I believe our family is the most important treasure we will ever have”. That was three Christmas’s ago and I still believe.
The cardboard base was from Bo Bunny Press but I can’t find it on their website now. The papers I used were from Reminisce and were from the “Snowglobe” collection. To make it, I cut out the papers in the shape of the cardboard letters and glued them on with white glue – messy, sticky, Aleene’s white glue. Then I sanded the edges with sandpaper and inked them with real ink. What a trip down memory lane in more ways than one. I mostly scrap digitally now, but I absolutely love the feel of real paper and being able to hold something in my hand like a book. It’s something I want to do more of in 2011, perhaps in the form of an art journal. Hmmmm, now that is something to look into!
