All these cards:
Mini album (from 7 Gypsies small purse chipboard album):
That paper is even glittery and shiny, pretty dang cute. My favorite is the white background with the little birdies and hearts. I don't like the way it smells, but hey...

More Valentine's Stuff
After I finished the little mailbox, I still had all the Valentine's Day paper and stuff out so I decided to keep working with it. I made a dozen full-sized cards and a mini album and still have some scraps left over...all from one 6 pack of patterned paper from the Target dollar spot. I'd say it was worth the investment!
