Happy October, friends! Leah here with you today sharing my take on the beautiful 6x8 Hearts Wood Album and the This is US XL Script Wood Quote.
The incredible Wood Albums are perfect for creating your own album however you wish! I LOVE the grain in wood and normally choose to leave it showing by staining or whitewashing it. This time, I wanted to make it POP with color.
I painted the This is Us wood quote with chalk paint, it just makes a statement against the background paper.
I covered the album covers with pattern paper, sanded the edges, then lightly distressed with ink. I then cut eight different pattern papers to 6 x 8" for the album pages.
I bound the album using twine from my stash. When tying off the binding, make sure to leave a little room to allow the album pages to move freely.
I then used cardstock and scrap pattern papers to cut out some accent files from my Cameo Silhouette to add into the album pages.
I am pretty certain I'll be giving this as a gift to someone who would like to add their photos too.
Some of the pages I left blank, which I have not shown in the post.
I made sure that the inside cover pages matched with the same pattern paper, as well as the outside covers.
Take a look at all the other gorgeous wood albums, which are your favorites?
