Celebrate Ariel (A Mini Album)

Here's a mini album I made as a birthday gift for my dear hubby. I started this when Lee, Pia, Cookie, Nina and Christine came over to our place. I wasn't able to finish because Ariel came back early from his visit to my parents' place. So I continued working on it and finally finished it January 26th. Fortunately, Ariel was in Iloilo so I was able to finish the album secretly.

I am finally able to use my BG Skate Shoppe line. I've had this for more than a year!!!

Other than the BG papers and die cut tags, here are the other materials I used:

• Paper bag from SM
• Album - Scrapworks
• Ribbon, Eyelets - We R Memory Keepers (also had this for quite some time)
  
• Alpha Chipboards - Imagination Project Gin X Coasters (painted, sanded)
• Paint, Brads - Making Memories
  
• Cardstock - Bazzil
  
• Pigment Ink - Brilliance, Versa Magic
  
• Rub-ons - American Crafts, Making Memories, Daisy D's
  
• Stamp - Gel-atins, Hero Arts, Autumn Leaves
  
• Dimensional glue - Diamond Glaze
• Stickers - AdornIt, DCWV
  
• Fibers - Joann.com
• Vellum - DCWV
• Pen - Staedler Triplus, Zig Photo
