Directions~

1. Use the Big Shot and the Scallop Square Die to cut out 1 Scallop Square in Crumb Cake card stock. Cut the top and first row of scallops off so you have a flat edge. Use the Paper-Piercing Tool and punch holes in each scallop.

2. Cut 1 piece of Early Espresso  card stock 3" x 3 3/4".

3. Cut 1 piece of Blushing Bride card stock 2 3/4" x 3 1/2". Use the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker to draw fake stitching around the edges.

I cut a little piece of Crumb Cake card stock and punched one side out with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch. I then wrapped a piece of 3/8 Twill Tape around the card stock. I took the Full Heart Punch and punched out 1 heart in Crumb Cake and 1 heart out in Early Espresso. I took the stamps from D is for Dog and C is for Cat Stamp Set. I inked the stamps in Crumb Cake and stamped them across the Crumb Cake heart. I popped the hearts up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I took the stamp from Fabulouse Phrases Stamp Set; inked them in Early Espresso and stamped it onto a piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I then cut it out into a banner. I added a Twitterpated Designer Button and a bow made from Natural Hemp Twine. I placed Stampin' Dimensionals onto the back of the Early Espresso card stock and attached to the Scallop Square. At the top I punched holes through each page add the rings then tied some 3/8 Twill Tape, Natural Hemp Twine and some 1/8 Early Espresso Taffeta to the rings.

Did this not turn out awesome?? I love how it turned out a lot better than I had planned! lol You could make the same album and simply change out the pictures and colors to suit your needs. This would make a great mini Wedding, or Anniversary Album!!!
