This one might be my favorite album of all nine that I made. I just adore this house accordion album - it opens up so there is six houses all different shapes and sizes. The trim on the front is a new Maya Road chipboard that looks like rick rack (so I love it!) and I used lots of their velvet blossoms throughout. Around the windows, I used their little chipboard frames and a heart coming out of the chimney.
All the papers and other embellishments I used are from the Fiskars line called We Are Family. I LOVE these products and my good friend Cheryl Waters was nice enough to share them with me! I will have more creations using this line and A Little Bird's Tale (both designed by Heidi Grace) on the Fiskateers blog next week. All the photos in this book were taken by the incredibly talented Tara Whitney.
Love that book- don't you just love Heidi Grace's lines? Kristi and I took a class with her in June and she is just so dang cute in person. You have certainly been busy of late.
