Another scraplift! Click here to see which layout I copied. :) The words just flowed tonight. I'm glad I stayed up longer! I've never written these thoughts down before! I'm so proud of myself! Are the letters the wrong color? Please tell me if you think so. I like constructive criticism. (sp?) Gosh! How do you spell that word anyway?!?!? It must be too late. 

I went in later (Sept '10) and blurred the text to respect my husband's right to privacy. Sorry. :)

Sweet Drawings and Letters

I'm starting to collect and scan all these little drawings that Dave makes for his kids. My favorite kind of artwork. I just love the style he uses, albiet amateur. The drawings speak of his heart, I strongly believe. :) Maybe one of these days, I'll transform them into digital brushes. What do you think?

God knew what I needed today when I saw this letter in the mailbox this morning. I love being the recipient of such sweet things. Mmmm...I could just hug her!

My Valentine

Dave and I tied the knot 14 years ago on October 7th, 1995. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! This layout is one of four that I created for a local scrapbook store contest. This was back when I was really into trying different techniques. Love that Dymo label maker! Instead of sending the black ribbon through, I tried cardstock. I think it's pretty cool. :) I used a picture frame mat for the frame. I notice that the glue I used for the KI Memories acrylic hearts has browned! I should send them an email, huh?
