ABC Class! Valentine Photo Wallet

Today we had our ABC Class. We made a "Photo Wallet" for Valentine's Day. There were a lot of details in this little booklet so it took some time to get it all done. With mine, I had printed out black and white photos of our four children and placed them in the center pages. Since there were only three center pages I put the girls together.
The stamp sets that were used for this project are: Mon Ami, It's a Girl Thing, Warm Words, Sweet Thing, Festive Four, I like your Style, So many Sayings, Time Well Spent and a Michael's Kiss stamp. Real Red, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, and Pretty in Pink card stock. Retired Stampin' Up! pattern paper. Real Red, Bashful Blue, Whisper White stamp pads. Sponge Daubers, Pewter hardware, Rhinestone Brads, Glassy Glaze, Silver EP, Ribbon, Dimensionals, Stapler, heart nail charms, corner rounder, Prima petals, flower punch.
