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!
Recipe:
All Decked Out, Love These People, You Warm My Heart & Best Friends Forever stamp sets
Snowhaven papers

Heart tag (recycled from an outfit)
Black string (from the tag)
Red gingham ribbon (Offray)

Challenges: Double Trouble challenge #102 Something, Anything, Everything (Thing 1 = anything goes + Thing 2 = played along with 3 former partners!); Dies R Us #186 Love theme + use a metal die; Retro Rubber #175 Love theme + use a stamp older than one year (used several sets purchased between 2009 and 2020); Inspiration Station #22 Warm Up With a Cup photo inspiration (used the color scheme of red, white, blue, and black AND scrapped snow photos AND stamped an image of a thermal cup).
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.
