MONTHLY CHALLENGE

I wanted to do this last year but didn't. The challenge is to do a page of as many or as few photos and/or etc. from "your life January 2010". The last Sunday of each month, I will post the same challenge and so on. It may get me/us to slow down and smell the roses and put a memory on film or in writing or keep that keepsake. If all goes well, we will have 12 pages (or more) of 2010 by January 2011 of next year! A lot will happen, so lets get in there and scrap it! If anyone has done this.. do you have any good tips?? P.S. Bye bye January!

LAYOUT "Valentines Day"

Ok ladies here is my shot at a Valentines Page. I used DCWV patterned paper, Old World Stack. I also used StampinUP! Red paper. The words Be My Valentine were cut out at 9" using the Wild Card Cartridge. To make the frames I used Stretch your Imagination, #14, cut at 5 and 6" each. For the little Heart Tags I used Home Accents cute at 1" each. The rub on is StampinUP Rub on. I do love StampinUP rub ons. Enjoy. Once I get a picture for it I will post that as well.

I hope everyone has a scrapping weekend!

SENTIMENT: cute for valentine cards

"A hundred hearts would be too few ...
To carry all my love for you" -Author unknown

TIP

TIP: Use a lint roller to pick up little baby pieces of paper and such off work surfaces, self and rugs! I just "lifted" that idea off ProvoCraft site. Makes sense to me :) -Kel
