Living in Southern California, we always have to drive at least an hour to get to the snow, so it's fun that this is my second snow themed layout I have scrapped this year. These are my only photos from February 2016 (no Valentines photos that year for some reason), so I wanted to incorporate a love theme into the layout somehow. I decided to use the big "Love These People" stamp as my title, and then added stamped, punched, and die-cut hearts, as well as the heart tag that was recycled from one of my kid's outfits. It's been hanging on my bulletin board for a couple of years, just waiting for the right moment to use it, and I think this was the perfect occasion!

Nice bunch of memories and your creativity and embellishments are always special too. I just pulled out some of those Christmas papers and they go back some years. Always nice when you can use those scraps in your stash. I need to do that. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and you have the record so far on sharing with our previous partners, kDies R Us, Retro Rubber and Inspiration Station which is our partner for new challenge. Hope to see you there.
