February Challenge By Christy

Design Team Member Christy submitted this layout for the February Love Challenge.  She said, "Just us...the meaning of those two little words has changed so much over time. About ten years ago, it went from meaning just my husband and I to something more like "just we three" when my son came along. I like both, but I do want to share with my son what his parent's life was like when they first met. I don't have a lot of photos of that time period. The one I found for this page is one of those rare few.

Of course, one of the first design elements that came to mind when making a page around this photo was "hearts." So I cut several of them out in a variety of colors from a Colorbok kit.  3-D foam really made the hearts and title pop. Pink fruit punch stickles added a little zing to the Colorbok alpha punchouts in the title.

based on Scraphappy.org's 15 minute page for December
The white Bazzill cardstock with embossed dots added some lovely texture to the page. I used my Martha Stewart punch across the bottom. I got out my trusty ruler and marker to pen a border, then added some hand stitching with my Sew Easy. Overall, it was a fast but fun page. I am working on page two which will be all journaling about the things we liked to do before having a child. Who knows...I might share it here with you (if it's not too mushy, that is). Now it's your turn to create a project centered around something or someone you LOVE, please share it with us, here, at Scrap Our Stash!  See all the details HERE.
