love story- Making Memories
Hey, I forgot to post this yesterday- I had a guest spot on the Making Memories blog on the 21st- a layout using the new "Love Story" collection of papers and embellishments:
I have really loved the "themed" products that have come out lately, they are sophisticated, well designed, and smart; I especially like this collection from Making Memories. I love Valentine's Day- always has been one of the faves of the holidays- I think I am basically a holiday kind of gal- except I don't get too worked up for Easter...maybe when I have kids...anyway: I shared this story on the MM blog:
Valentine's Day holds a special place in my heart. It was the day my husband and I had our first "fight" as a couple. I went all out, sewed felt hearts on expensive wool socks, showered him in delicious candies, and made a special tribute present to commemorate our first few months of dating. He greeted me with, "I bought you a rose, it's in the fridge."
Thankfully our Valentine's Day celebrations have improved greatly since that first one, and I look forward to getting in the spirit a little more each year...
I just wanted to share that with you! Also, if you are expecting mail from me, either RAK's or projects or whatever, I will be getting them out in the mail on Saturday...I have to wrap up a few things tomorrow for the 25th, and then it's mail day:)
Have a super duper Friday!!!
A priceless story and a FANTASTIC layout!

Cute story! I get a card for Valentine's, I guess that is what happens after you have been married over 10 years and two kids. Love the layout.

i LOVE that layout. I agree about MM's themed items. I tend to gravitate towards Making memories stuff for holidays.

Awww, I love this page! :) I get really excited for all the Valentine's day kits and goodies- just seems like I tend to use the "love" themed stuff more throughout the year too. Fab page!!

i loved it and i already scrap-lifted it!! how is your eye? my daughter got clonked in the face by a heavy box. and her eye got all swollen and dark, not really a black eye, but more of a purple eye. and she just turned 3! i hope your eye is better than hers

I love the layout and smiled BIG when I opened my new Scrapbooks etc to see you featured. You'd think I was you mother with as much pride as I had in "My favorite local" Pretty soon I'll be telling my friends I knew of you back when you had a little blog and was on 2Peas.....
