3 Blogging years & Happy Valentine’s Day

It’s Valentine’s Day. I wish you all a good one with those you love. We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day in a big way here. It’s more of a family day rather than just a couples day. The little boys have so much fun with it. I prefer to think of every day as a celebration of love. Today I have a love-themed layout to share with you today. It’s interesting to pair up an old photo with some brand new Basic Grey Cappella paper. It actually won’t be released until April but I was lucky enough to get my hands on some. It was SO easy to work with.

Today is not only Valentine’s Day but it’s also my “blog-a-versary”. It’s hard to believe three entire years have passed since I started blogging. It’s interesting to look back and see the creative journey. There’s been lots of changes, and lots of things to learn and some wonderful opportunities and friends. I’m grateful for it all and am so grateful for all the people who stop by and visit. I have a little something to share so be sure to stay with me for a minute.

love. our day.

I thought this layout would be a good one to share for Valentine’s Day. Even though I didn’t get to CHA, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a little bit of Cappella, the beautiful wedding line from Basic Grey to be released in April. It is so totally gorgeous and easy to work with and so classy too. I can’t wait to scrap more of my wedding photos with it. I know, it’s been twenty years but I’d still love to create an album of our special day.

Quick Tip: To make an old photo look more classic and timeless…change it to black and white.

And as for something to share…I just have to give away a few more stamps and a little paper. My favorite things. Baby Dear is the stamp set that I truly love the best so I thought I’d share it with you today. Thanks so much for stopping by to read my blog and for your support. I truly appreciate each one of you. Whether you’re a new reader or an old friend, say hello in the comments below for a chance to win. Comment before 11 pm EST Tuesday February 16.
