My mini album gift for my sister

I made this mini album for my sister as part of her birthday/Christmas gift. It was a Basic Grey 6x6 "bracket" chipboard album. I really liked the papers/colors of the metal/magnetic memo board and used them in this album. Because the cover already had an eyelet (grommet?) where the ring was to go, I didn't want to deal with trying to cover it with paper and then work around the metal ring... so I painted it.. Let's just say that I'm thinking I should have maybe painted it a different color- I was thinking that a maroon/burgandy would be too dark, but maybe an apricot/dark peach would have been good... Hindsight is 20/20 isn't it, because I was never completely happy with the cover- which leads me to the Pomegranate ink I used on the corners that I stamped and on the first page, yeeeahhhhhh, it turned MAUVE on the cream painted background... This is where the anally-retentive uptight part (which my husband says would be ALL of me, right? ) of me get's very unhappy...ugh! All that work to make the colors coordinate so well, and then I get MAUVE! So I did my best and moved on... if I'd had my paint with me I'd have sanded/painted over it, but I was working on it in the car on the way to my sister's, and didn't have that option.. oh well... I'm relatively happy with the inside of it, and my sister liked it- I just have to forget about my aggravation with the cover...
