I started by painting the cover of the mini album. I used the red paint for the front sides and the pink for the insides. I set them aside to dry.

Next, I painted the Clear Scraps: Chipboard Script Love Word Title Love in pink. Let it dry. Once dry I sprayed it with the Chroma Mist in Tiara for the perfect shimmer. Set it aside to dry.

While my covers and title were drying I cut 4 panels 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" from 110lb White cardstock. These will be the pages of the album. I also cut the 80lb Black cardstock about 1/4" smaller than the page, I also trimmed the pattern papers a 1/4" smaller than the Black mats for the pages. Along with a variety of shapes from White cardstock that will be my photo mats.

I then adhered all the layers and decorated each page with a sticker and 

a few Clear Scraps Sprinkles: Heart Love for a total of 8 pages.

Now that the covers are dry I start to assemeble the album. I start by adhereing the

 Clear Scraps: Chipboard Script Love Word Title Love onto the front cover.

Next, I punch the two holes on each page that match up with the front and back cover of 

the Clear Scraps: Hearts Wood Card using the Crop-a-dile. 

I insert the rings on the back cover then all the pages followed by the the front cover and close the rings.

I add a few decorative ribbons to the rings.

Now, the Mini Love Album is complete!
