love you-multi flap mini

Hey guys,

How is everyone doing.. I am neck in work while my health continues to trouble me. The blood pressure refuses to rise.. I guess high time I picked on a fight.. :P..Haha.. jokes apart it has been really difficult to craft.. I feel sleepy all the time thanks to my low BP..

Anyways sharing with a multi flap mini I made for my bestie... He has been married 3 years and wanted to gift something special to his wife whom he had dated for 12 years before tying the knot. The gift is they 15th anniversary gift (12+3)... :D... They have shared I guess a zillion cards from Archies ( they were the favored customers of our local archies store) and have quite a huge collection of the cards.. So his only request was, the poems from all their numerous cards be incorporated into his mini ( his favorite verses from the cards have been handwritten by me).. I always did write for him in the cards and I guess we continue with the trend.. LOL...

So I made this multi flap mini.. it's a 6x6 mini and it was a huge challenge for I am at a complete loss as to what to put in them.. Moreover since I would be putting in no pics ( that's another album in the making with their journey pics).. So it was digis and lots of mush...

I won't really ramble much.. Just share pictures.. It's a multi-fold mini but I cannot show you the folds through pictures.. I do have a video but have no clue how to edit it.. Still learning.. Once I get hold of how to edit would add it to the end of the post or maybe another post...

So here goes...!!

This was one of the most tedious projects I have ever undertaken.. Took me ages to complete but was worth every minute spent on it.. The smile on the couple's face was unbelievable. I could not have been happier.
