Happy Valentine's day



Fancy trim paper! I love it! Valentine Ribbon, heart brads.. pictures of me & hubby enjoying desert!

As Time goes by..


A collage of photos from our wedding and today.. wine from Il Fornaio and a rose from my valentine bouquet... I have learned so much, grown so much, laughed so much, cried so much, become so much of the woman I am..
Dance as if no one is watching... Story of my life! I blinged this page out with some silver and pink stickles.. Enhancing my photos.. I love roses.. flowers in general.. either in my layouts or my camera..

Fancy Edges & Bling


I bought some fancy edge paper, inked some edges, made some flowers, blinged it out..

Acrylic Overlays


I colored an acrylic overlay and applied embellishments for my Funny/Teacher/Reader husbands page.

Bling & Ribbon

This is the matching page.. I added some ribbon.. another of the embellished foam hearts.. a little bling..

Felt, Floss & Bling


Valentine's day is one of my favorite holidays.. I love the colors, hearts and flowers.. This layout is the result of my first experience with felt and paper.. I sewed the edges with my "In Stitch'z" floss by Bazzill.. I often find many different techniques in various magazines & blogs. One in particular was a felt page with hearts which was the inspiration for this layout with the
"mermaid twist" on it :)
While rummaging through the clearance aisle at JoAnn's.. I found a children's valentine kit with embossed foam hearts in pink,white and red.. I decided to use them to create my own embellishments.. I used stickles in pink and red to decorate the white heart and sewed the edges with my pink floss. I added some pre-glittered heart shapes to the centers of my hearts and trimmed some pink felt using scalloped craft scissors, then attaching to the back. A couple glitter beads and there you go.
