Handmade With Love – Day 5 – Count the Ways!

We often tell the special ones in our life “I love you!” but we rarely tell them how much or why we love them the way we do! Here is some fun inspiration to create a fun “Let Me Count the Ways” mini album that will do just that!

You could use any type of number stamps and cardstock you have already, but for ours we used our So In Love Journaling Tags, Cut Outs: So In Love and Cut Outs: Count The Ways Numbers. They all coordinate perfectly! For the front cover I used the American Crafts heart paper, which I love!! And then just some simple cardstock on the inside.

I covered each side of a small (4 x 6 inch) chipboard album, rotating between the 5 cardstock colors I picked out.

Here’s a look at the cover – the flower embellishment (and heart paper) is from American Crafts and the journaling sticker is from this set.

On the back I added the “Handmade for you with love by:” journaling tag that comes in the same set with the tag as above.

Then, I cut out all the “Cut Outs”

And, started laying things out! You can put a photo on each page, along with a number and then a little journaling spot. Examples could be “You’re always there for me”, “You always say the right things”, “For always taking care of me”, etc!

At this point I was going to start adding photos… but then thought “Hey! I could give the mini book away with the other goodies” So, this little mini book above is included in our giveaway today! I didn’t glue anything down on the inside so you will be able to add your photos, numbers and journaling spots wherever you choose! I hope you like it 🙂
We love hearing about what you’d want your coupon to say in yesterdays post, so today we want to hear “Who is the someone special in your life you’d finish the mini book for?” This could be anyone, don’t forget about parents, grandparents, kids, nieces, cousins and more!

One winner will receive all the goodies pictured above! There are lots of supplies there to finish the mini book, plus a little candy, too! The winner will be announced January 24th, so make sure you check back then! If you haven’t entered the other contests, please feel free to do so! All close on the same day, January 24th 🙂
P.S. Tomorrow we will be starting part one of our last project and it will include a free download! Part two, on the following day, will include on of our biggest giveaways ever! It’s over a $80 value so you won’t want to miss it!
