Heartfelt Creations - Vintage Floret Photo Book

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some more inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I made a photo "brag" book using the new designer papers.  Here's the front of the book.  (Note: Click on any picture to get a better view.)

 

 

 

Here's a side view...

Here is the inside of the book with a picture in it and one of the sentiment blocks from the designer papers.  This is a picture of my Mom & Dad who have since passed away.  This is the best picture I have of them before their health deteriated and one that I cherish.

The back of the book...

I really love these photo brag books!  They are easy to make and make a pretty gift.  I've done these for new moms to have for themselves and to give to the new grandparents!

I hope this gives you some inspiration on using this gorgeous Vintage Floret Collection!  Complete instructions for this are at the bottom of the post and also on the HC Blog.  Please visit the HC Blog to see all the designer's stunning creations this week!

I'm submitting this to the latest Word Art Wednesday Challenge #50.

Blessings!
