Valentine's Mini's

It's been a while since I posted anything.  I have been busy making a couple more mini books and shopping.  I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim, CA.  I got to meet Jodie R., a fellow Circlet, in the 2013 Trunk Show by Queen & Co.  Jodi R. is an absolute sweetie!  I don't think I have ever met anyone as nice as her.  Anyway, I spent way too much money but had a great time.  I fell in love with Gelato's by Faber Castell.  The Rubber Cafe had a set of 28 for the low price of $55.  I couldn't pass them up.  My LSS will be selling them for $5 a piece, so I told the hubby that I saved a lot of money!  LOL!  We have opened up a site, designsbytimme.com, and will be selling my books.  Hubby does woodworking, so we will be selling some of his work also.  I have also decided to sell a couple of scrapbooking items.  I haven't received them yet but will be selling Scor-tape, Graphic 45 packs, and hopefully I can find some of the tape for the ATG's at a reasonable price.

Here are the two Valentine's mini books that I made for our site.  I hope you like them and if you know anyone who is looking to buy, please send them my way.

This first mini is made with chipboard and Glitz papers.  Most of the embellishments are by Glitz also.  I didn't want it to be the typical red because everyone is different so I went with the gray, black, pink, and turquoise with a splash of red occasionally.

I also used the crocheted hearts in both books that I purchased from Tatiana.  Thanks, Tatiana, they worked great.

 This mini was made by modifying a Cricut mini book in CCR.  All the pages are chipboard and covered with papers by various companies.  Most of the embellishments are by Crate.  I used grossgrain ribbon to bind the book.
