I hope you had a Merry Christmas. I was thrilled to have several inches of snow fall on Christmas Eve because it made it feel like the right season finally! :)

February is one of my favorite months and I also love hearts. This little altered album was constructed on chipboard using various pattern papers, collage images (Paper Whimsy), ephemera, buttons, rosettes and flowers, German scrap, and snippets of Shakespeare. There are 14 pages total (including the front/back cover) and it is available in my Etsy shop.

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday – seems a good day to take a long winters nap!

    Lovely, lovely book, Nancy! I really like the embellishment you’ve added to your brad — esp on the butterfly. (No snow for us — and I couldn’t be happier about it:)

    I LOVE LOVE this album. All the layers and embellishments are perfection!!! I love that little gal in image 5, the one with the hat/pink ribbon. Is that P.W? I can’t seem to find it, so maybe it’s been discontinued?
    We had a nice lovely snowfall on Christmas Eve.. it was so pretty. Not a lot of snowfall, that’s ok with me. Plenty cold to keep it all around though. Our evergeen shubs look like they’ve been flocked and the Christmas lights shining through are so romantic…all to be done with in another few days.

    Best wishes for you and your family in 2013.. good health the most important. (Said while nursing a major pain in the back that just won’t go away!!!!) Ha.
