Now that it's February I'm celebrating the month of love with a new project I created using the Love Notes collection. Instead of sending a Valentine's Day card, I will be mailing this little portfolio to a lovely friend of mine:

The base of the portfolio was created with different but matching Doodlebug cardstock and was inspired by the step-by-step on Margys Paper Games blog. I made it my own with a few changes, including in the size of the final project which is 6.5 by 5 inches.

I absolutely love the colors and the patterned papers in this collection and used several inside and outside of the portfolio. I decorated with Love Notes die-cuts and stickers but also added several embellishments as little presents inside some of the pockets.

I had fun creating small packages of my "own" embellishments with mini envelopes, some of the Valentine's Paperclips I shared here a couple of weeks ago and even a shaker card.

Anybody you know deserves more than a card this month? I am sure a little happy mail like this, full of pretty surprises, would put a smile on anybody's face! Grab your Love Notes goodies and start creating!
