Valentine Photo Clip
January 31st, 2008
It’s been such a busy week! I’ve been really missing my regular blogging. Tomorrow night is my monthly Stampin’ Up! Technique class and I’m really excited about it. I thought I’d share one of the projects we’ll be doing. Here’s my Valentine Photo Clip.
It’s oh so simple – just a regular black binder clip from the office supply store. Here’s a side view.
The images from Always are embossed with Real red craft ink and clear embossing powder on shimmer white cardstock. The designer paper is a long retired SU design. I wouldn’t normally use a retired paper for class, but I ran across this in my stash and it just seemed too perfect. The clip really needs a bow or knot at the top to keep it tight enough to hold a photo or card. In class we will finish up the clip with a piece of red cardstock with punched photo corners. To photograph this project I wanted to complete it with a picture. I chose my very favorite photo of Curt and I taken at our rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding (over 16 years ago). Seemed like a perfect choice for Valentines. *grin*
I’m just finishing up with hosting a big New Catty Swap so I’ll have those pics to share very soon – stay tuned. Hope you have a fabulous Friday! Thanks for stopping by.

I love this idea, Jami. What a unique way to display a photo. The clip idea is almost as cute as the couple. You have beautiful hair.
