Bird is the Word DT reveal and Graphic 45- mini-album

February 14th is Valentines Day in many parts of the world. For this challenge they would like you to create a project about the one MALE you love. And we do not mean just your partner or spouse. We mean any male in your life. 

Ideas for journaling: You could journal about the love you have for your son, father, grandfather or a special person in your life or any pet.

For this layout, I used these beautiful papers I bought from Meg’s Garden. I absolutely love her papers. They have a beautiful Shabby chic look to them. I combined these papers with some Webster’s pages papers and digital elements that I downloaded for free from their blog. Finally I used a WP’s flower silhouette, a beautiful metal birdcage and two birds from Prima. I also used a flowery tag for my journaling and hid it behind the photo mat.

I’ve been working on this album for the past few days. I’ve had these really silly pictures of my daughter for a while. They are from the day she lost her first tooth, well actually from the day the dentist pulled her first tooth because it had an abscess. I wanted to take a picture of her and instead she started making funny faces and I got quite a few pictures of her. I thought they would be perfect for a mini-album and what better papers than the Graphic 45 Le Cirque. I love the colors of these papers and all the clowns fit the theme perfectly. I used the U-turn mini album from Clear Scraps that has lots of arrows pointing in different directions. I’m quite happy with how it turned out!!

Here are the close-ups.
