January 2018 Layout

Happy Valentine's Day! Is anyone scrapping today? My hubby and I went to dinner last night because he has to work a super long shift today, so I have extra time to get creative. Something I have been enjoying over the past couple of years is using random pictures from a certain month to create a monthly layout. This one features photos from January 2018, where I didn't have enough photos to make a full layout of an event or the photos weren't good enough quality to merit a separate layout. But I am still glad I scrapped them because they feature people I love!

Recipe:
State of Mind & Conversation Hearts stamp sets
Topstitch papers & stickers
Chocolate & White Daisy cardstock
White Daisy textured cardstock
Chocolate, Desert Sand, Heavenly Blue & Baby Pink ink
Brown marker (Zig)
Highlights PML card
Tan sparkles
Grid washi tape (Recollections)
White Lacey Trims (49 and Market)
White paper flowers (Recollections)
Heart stencil (Scrapbook.com)
Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge: tag
Cricut Design Space: title using Medina Script font
Pattern: EMS Sketch Challenge #95

Challenges: Challenge YOUrself  #134 hearts + a picture of myself (used stenciled and stamped hearts + I managed three photos of myself!); Double Trouble #184 Love Is In the Air (my 2 shapes are hearts and circles, my sentiment is Savor This Moment, and I included Thing 3's optional twist of  hearts + a "talky" heart)

Cheryl, what a great idea to create a memory page for a month when there is no special holiday/birthday! I'm to the point on my scrapbooking that I need to think about going digital and also scanning all my pages from the paper albums I've created over the years!! Thank you for sharing your layout with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna

Hi Cheryl! First of all, I love the way you create scrapbook pages using photos from a random month! That's pure genius. These photos are absolutely wonderful and definitely show off your loving and fun family. I also like the way you incorporated hearts onto your page. Thank you so much for joining us at Challenge YOUrself for our HEARTS challenge this month!

How cool to bring in many of the events in one month and great layout... love all the patterned papers and love that you added a chauky talky heart. Thank you for your enhanced 3-2-1 recipe at Double Trouble.
