So........today I'm going to share two layouts I created using the Seal It!, Pennants & the Backgrounds stamp sets......with a little Love-theme, of course.


Love me:



Now, you may think that I used the Pennants set to create that little banner under the photo on this layout. Fact is, I didn't ....... that's just a printed transparency cut into a banner. I actually used the teeny, tiny heart stamp in the Pennants set to stamp little hearts above the mirrored birdie. Here's a close-up.

Yeah....that's it.....simple as that! Nothing fancy......just using some brilliant mSB stamp sets!!!!!

I also used one of my favourite stamps from the Seal It! stamp set on this layout as well, stamping on brown, lined fullscap paper. "100% Yourself" is exactly what I wanted to say about my puppy playing outside on this blustery, cold Manitoba day. She's soooooooo BIG, but such a baby about anything cold!!!!! She just looks at you with her sad face and you can't help but bring her inside to warm up.


Next, I created an 8 1/2X11 double-page layout about a special day my six year-old daughter, Asha & I spent at Disney together.....y'know, one of those "just the two of us" kinda' days!!!!!

Love This Day:

I created the heart up in the rh corner using my brand new favourite mSB stamp set: Backgrounds (insert heart pounding, palms sweating, mouth drying). I LOOOOOOOVE this set so much!!!! I actually get a little nervous getting this stamp set out (it's like going on that first date with that really hot guy you like -- a.k.a. my husband now -- hahahahaha. You know you're gonna have a great time; the experience is probably gonna end sooner than you'd like; and you hope you'll get to see them again real soon....sometimes there's even a kiss at the end of the night. Okay.....actually there isn't...I'm not that crazy....really!!!).

Anyways......I used the circles from the Backgrounds set to stamp on a piece of red cardstock, embossing the image with crisp, white embossing powder and then cutting it out in the shape of a heart. I added a mat around the image with dictionary paper (yeah....no kidding....I rip up my dictionary so that when my kids go to look for the word, let's say "remote", it's gone -- not impressed). Then I machine stitched with green around the whole heart. Why green? Why not!!! (don't worry, Mom. I know how to change the thread on my machine).

Here's a close-up of the stamped heart (with a little bit 'o bling):

Thanks for stopping by here on your journey. Don't forget to leave a comment below to be eligible for a fabulous prize!!!! Now.....onto the next station.

You're next stop is Jolene. But hold onto your seats.....I know she's gonna blow you off the rails with her talent. She's so incredibly clever with those stamp sets.....such an inspiration!!!!!

Happy travelling {from the farm},
