Layout # 9 2010 Layout Challenge & Song Challenge

This is a layout that I just did for one of my gatherings. Lots of little "techniques" - paper pleating, made our own glitter brads, 2nd generation stamping, paper tearing, distressing. The title comes from the Taylor Swift song "Love Story" which was another challenge issued by the gal who started all of this! All products are Close To My Heart except the organza ribbon which came from Michaels and I used Fiskars "threading water" punch on the border.

I entered this layout in the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - Heartshttp://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.com/2010/01/challenge-2-hearts.html

Layout #8 2010 Layout Challenge

I'm back from my trip to Nova Scotia to see my family.......my Mom loved her quilt and was so happy to see my son and me. It was hard to leave her after only four days but I'll be visiting again in June when my brother gets married.

It took me awhile to get caught up looking at everyone's posted layouts, you guys were busy while I was gone!! This layout was very simple but I love the picture of my husband and his cousins "kissing" at a wedding. The paper is from Making Memories, title was cut with my cricut, lip stickers came from a boxed calendar from a couple of years ago. The heart sticker came from a dollar store (shhhh).

I also joined Fussy and Fancy Friday's blog challenge to use hearts on a project.http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.com/2010/01/challenge-2-hearts.html
