This month’s blog hop theme is “Love”

 

I decided to scrap my Christmas card. I had a few extras and
they were printed on some really thick paper.

just cut the Merry Christmas
part off and I had my square instagramed photo.

I love how the red from the
photo lends a hand to the red embellishments.

I originally cut the XO lace and used it as a mask and misted
a piece of card stock.

I started on my layout and I just wasn’t digging it.

So I
ripped everything off the card stock grabbed the “misted” lace

and used it as matting
on white wood grain cardstock. I also cut Samantha Walkers heart doily.

I used Paper Issues, “Sweet Thang” kit; all other product is
from my stash

Thanks so much for stopping by!

simple scrapper: february blog hop & giveway

 

 

 

Hello hoppers, I hope you are enjoying the hop so far.

you should be arriving from Pam's blog

 

{if your from Sara's Birthday Blog Hop keep scrolling down and don't

for get to leave a comment on both hops for a chance to win some swag!}

 

 

I always love when I get to finally share my layouts with
the world.

I made 2 layouts from this months sketch, and 1 with this month’s
story starter.

 

Here are my takes on the sketches

I was fortunate enough to go to CHA this year! This year was
a “girls” trip.

And I got into taking photos with scrap celebrity’s Here I meet
Ali Edwards and Becky Higgins.

I really enjoyed talking to both ladies, and I am pretty
sure Becky’s camp wont forget us {me} anytime soon.

I was a subject topic at
dinner one night  

{Becky’s husband informed me of that the following day}

 

 

I’m sure you will be seeing this guy in a lot more of my
layouts.

I have started watching him more & more!

I took this photo of
Colten at the dentist office,

when we were waiting for Kevin.

 

 

I have been on the Simple Scrapper team for a year now, and
Jennifer changed it all up!

SO it’s almost like a whole new team.

 

Now instead of challenge every month, we have story
starters.

 

For February the story starter is hopes & dreams.

You
get a list of prompts/suggestions on how to start/tell a story.

I have to say struggled with this one.

I can’t wait ill a
year from now to look back at this layout and see the results.
