Pocketwatch Engagement Mini Album

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a project that I have on the Sizzix blog today. It's a mini album that I created using Tim Holtz' new Pocket Watch Frame die. I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite projects, ever!

By stacking the die cuts, I was able to create a deep niche, perfect for holding engagement photos of my daughter, Olivia, and her fiance, Rickie. The wedding is next month - I'm so excited! This weekend I'm heading to Sacramento for her shower and this will make a perfect gift for her future mother-in-law. Make sure you pop over to the Sizzix blog to see the full, step-by-step tutorial.

All of the supplies I used can be found at Inspiration Emporium via the links below. Remember to use my coupon code - stamptamp - to save 10% on your order!




Of course, I had to make a short little Vine video - I love being able to show how it looks in person. So much better than just photographs!

Thanks so much for stopping by - have a great week!

    Oh, Shelly, this is so gorgeous. And I love the cover picture. If you did that in sepia, they would look like a 30s Hollywood couple!!!
