THANKS so much for the “love freebie” Ali! These mini books are great. What a WONDERFUL gift idea! I might have to make one for my hubby!
I am so excited about this!!! THANK YOU! I think my favorite is the I Love You Minibook with the tiny felt heart. You are so thoughtful to do this! I could hug you!
Great idea Ali showing us your projects again. Even your ‘older’ projects are soo inspiring – ooh maybe that is why I’ve been lovin’ your work for soo long. Off to create (after I homeschool)!
“Love” this post and these projects. Made I Love You Minibooks yesterday and think I’ll try my hand at the Love board book. Thank you for the great ideas, inspirations, links, tutorials and freebies!
These are always so inspirational!!

Cheers for the Love download and all the inspirational ideas…I love the Love Board Book 2008 the best.
Such fun ideas and projects! Yay for celebrating love of all kinds.
Thanks for the inspiration and the freebie.
May I please say thank you very much. You made my day. Thank you for your generousity.
Lots of fun inspiration! Thanks for sharing the love.
I have just been wrestling with Valentine Ideas. Thank you.
Ali,
I so enjoy checking your site everyday. I truly love how you share so much and provide such inspiration… I received my Shutterfly books made after you shared the “10 Reasons I love you” book from Freckle Photography. I can only say :WOW! I would have never though of doing those in a million years!I am learning to use more of your Designer digital elements, and as always because you share so much, the scary part totally dissolves…
Hats off to you and heartfelt thanks for sparking the love of scrapbooking and everyday blessings.
Oh I’m so glad you did that book! I’m hoping to do one for each of my kids for Valentine’s Day
.
Thanks for these reminders of what’s in our “digi” stash:)
I’m in the midst of a big purge in my home office, and finally went through the last of my saved CK magazines and donated them to our library. Very few pages were ripped out, as I’m realizing I have inspiration enough & just need to get busy telling our own story…but one page moved me to create—an old layout you did called “Remember me”. Different photos of you and Simon and journaling of the different ways you want him to remember you. I know such a page from my own mother would have been priceless, and that your layout said directly what so many of mine are really about. Thank you for sharing it.
That’s one of my favorites. Thank you Deirdre.
Thanks for the inspiration, Ali.
Just wondering, is there an alphabet that’s done in a handwriting style, similar to Little Bit of Messy Love?
I don’t have one right now but could put that on my list. I do have a thick-brush one: http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/10798
LOVE all of these projects – thanks so much for sharing – feeling very inspired to create!
Thanks for the great tips – always love your inspiring little projects!
Question: for the LOVE book ….where do you get transparencies like that? New to this hybrid stuff (I usually do digital scrapbooking.) THANKS!
One of my favorite places to get printed transparenices is from Hambly: http://www.qbaroo.com/HamblyScreenPrints/categories.cfm?type=0&categoryoid=2
Online scrapbook stores also carry a variety of printed transparencies.
I get ink jet transparencies from office supply stores for home printing.
Thank you for the recap. I made the 2008 ‘I love you’ mini-book back in 2008 as part of your weekend creative.
This year I using your LOVE YOU BECAUSE’ digital kit to create a mini-book for my husband. Also have plans to do one for each of my boys too, although maybe not in time for Valentines Day. Thank you for always being so inspirational.
so much love to share!! I think I am going to make the felt one, one for each kid.
thanks for sharing Ali !!! love love love it… tweet about this entry just now
hugs
Thanks Ali, I am making the 2008 I love you mini book for my husband for our 8th wedding anniverasry (we dont celebrate Valentines day as it is the day before our anniversary the day after) & I’ve printed the pages back to back & plan on stitching it together to the felt book & getting my three girls to put their hand prints on the I love you side & write a note or do a drawing on the other side as well as notes from me. He is away at the moment & will love getting this in the mail from us.
I am trying to locate “1 CD Muckosky card” which you list under supplies on the PDF for the A Bit of Heart project. I’m wondering if you could give me a little more clarification (is it digital, greeting card, cardstock?) or a link would be even better. Thanks for sharing your talent with me!
Ali – Thanks! Love the inspiration & the freebies!
Retweeted your post!
I love your “Love You Because…” templates. Handmade 3 books (as we don’t have Shutterfly in Shanghai) and here’s some of the pages from the books: http://www.arlyna.com/blog2/arlyna.com/a_Bloggism/Entries/2011/2/13_Valentines_Day_Gifts.html
