Refinished heart photo album

It's time for Friday Valentine's project. I am refinishing an old photo album.

This was originally an old metal album I covered with bright heart fabric.

Directions

I painted the metal cover with white chalk paint, let dry. Then I used fabric mod podge to attach the Valentine's fabric to front and back

Then I cut strips of solid fabric to make bow , with wooden tag with stickers.

Inside the album

I made cute matching recipe cards and Atc cards to fill some of the pages. Leaving room for photo and love notes.

Thanks for joining my Friday remake it special... Lisa

Valentine's busted canvas

This Thursday I am transforming Christmas canvas to Valentine's

My original canvas

This Dollar store Christmas canvas for $1. I painted white to cover image.

My Valentine's

Double sided rose scrapbook paper. I glued on top of my canvas I painted white. Then with a knife ,I made an x. Then scissors to make larger. Folded back and added paper. On the back, I cut cardboard to size , covered in scrapbook paper to make the back and added a flower sticker.

the center is a flower sticker from Dollar tree on scrapbook paper.

Have you tried the busted canvas technique? Leave a comment to share..
