MINI ALBUM - BANNER "HEART"

by - abril 19, 2020


Hi there! Today, day 33 of the quarantine in my city, I want to share you a mini album: a heart filled with love. It's a special  meaning to me (I explain it below). It's the first time what I make this kind of structure. It´s a banner and it's kept in a box of chocolates: a nice way of recycle this lovely box. It´s ideal for giving very very love.

The box cover is transparent. I made a big bow with organza ribbons. I love bows; when I was a child I drew lot of pink bows in my drawings 😅.



For making the cover of this CAS mini album I used a word which I cut with a Sizzix die courtesy of Aly Scrap Salta.



I used acetate for the cover of album. I cut it and all pages with a heart stitched die.



The design papers are from the "Yours Truly" Paper Collection of Pebbles. Also, I made acetate pages...




I used a red organza ribbon for binding the pages...



I made a pink envelope with the 123 Punch Board of We R Memory Keepers. It contains a  surprise! You can watch it in the video below 😊.


It has a shaker too...


The photographs are from my family... 💕




I made heart flaps for putting more photos or for writing. They're closed with a Baker twine.






This album is a banner; then we can put or hang it somewhere of our home. I couldn't take a picture of the complete banner, but you can watch it better in the video.

 

You can watch more details and the "envelope surprise" in the video of my YouTube Channel.


¿Do you use recycled things for your projects? I enjoy making my works with recycled materials. You can reuse a cereal box for doing the bases of the heart pages. I wrapped them with a red soft shine vinyl. 
This mini album is special for me because it represents the only wish of my heart in this moment: meeting with my parents and my brother. We didn't achieve assembling to be together this quarantine because the night of March 17th the authorities suddenly closed the roads. But I'm not alone, I stay with my sister. I hope with yearning our meeting. I take care of myself to be able to be with they as soon as possible. 
Today, love manifests both in the simplicity and complexity of "Stay Home". Stay safe and well. Blessings! 😘


"Love explained everything to me. 
Love solved everything for me. 
That is why I admire love wherever it is found. 
If loves is as great as it is simple, 
if the simplest longing can be found in nostalgia, 
then I can understand why God wants to be greeted by simple people; 
by those whose hearts are pure 
and find no words to express their love. 
God came this far 
and He stopped a short step away from nothingness, 
very close to our eyes. 
Perhaps life is a wave of astonishment, 
a wave of height and depth.
Don't ever be afraid"

St. John Paul II

I apologize for my English, it's basic. But I want to share my works with you (and with love).
