My hubby and I seldom go out to dinner on Valentine's Day because the restaurants are crowded and the service is usually very slow. Instead, we wait a day or two and then go out to celebrate, as we did in these photos. For some reason, the photo my hubby took of me had lots of issues with focus, but it's the only one I had of me from that evening, so I decided to try to rescue it using AI. It's still not perfect, but much better than the original. Glad AI is useful for something other than kids plagiarizing essays. LOL! I created the leaf paper on the left using stamps and a stencil, something I rarely do, but I like the result here.

You've got a great game plan for Valentine's Day, that's mainly the reason i don't really like to go out and always cook our dinner at home so you've given me a great idea! Your memory page is so sweet and I love all the pictures. Thanks for joining in and sharing at The Pick 3 Challenge!
