Okay, so now that all of our holiday decorations are nicely packed away and February is just 15 days away, who is ready for Valentine’s Day? My 5 year old certainly is ready. And after an entire morning reading about Ruby Valentine, Amelia Bedelia and the Berenstain Bears’ valentine celebrations, I was inspired and ready to craft a valentine of my own.
A while back I bought a vintage deck of cards on Etsy hoping to transform it into some kind of “52 things” project. Well, no time like the present! Right?
So with that deck of cards becoming a mini album, and a few photos and my paper crafting supplies, I thought I’d knock my husband’s Valentine’s Day gift off my to-do list. Don’t worry, he’s not much of a blog reader and I’m only going to show the album without journaling. I’m still working on that one.
This was not only a fun crafting project, but when I went back to put together my journaling, it was a good exercise to define those 52 reasons. I’m still debating on what order I should include them in the album. Like I said, I’m still working on it.
So who is ready to win some goodies from that I used on this album? Just leave a comment here by Friday, January 18th at 5 pm MST for your chance to win the 6×6 collection pad a set of clear stamps from BoBunny’s Love Letters collection. Good luck!
Happy card crafting!

What a gorgeous little mini. I love the idea of this and have thought about it for awhile. Yours makes me think even harder. Love the lines you used.
Love it! What a wonderful project. I love the colors and the size. Something about creating teeny albums. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! such an inspiring project! tfs
If I start now, I could write things down each week for next year! Love the paper collection, such gorgeous colors 
What a fabulous idea!!! We’ve been married a LONG time so I hope I can still find 52 reasons!! Just kidding Dear!
Love your book…I’m sure it will be appreciated by your husband as well…it is amazing!
How creative to use a deck of cards as your base! Aren’t you concerned about how they aren’t archival though?
I love this cards transforming idea! Clever! I am inspired to do my own project.
Also love this fun pack of papers and stamps. Pinky but not too pinky because of the incorporation of other color tones and pattern elements. Lots of heart but not get bored. Great design!
I love this project. How stinkin cute is that? Thanks for the idea.
I LOVE the stampy paper. Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
What a great mini album. Your red is really great.
Your card-deck mini album is just so inspiring, Windy! Just delightful!
The sweet page embellishments you used are just right. I look forward to trying this idea.
Bo-Bunny’s LOVE LETTERS assortment would be a fun addition to anyone’s collection.
Sweet wishes…..~Sandie
