Remember these photos?:

Prettied up a bit by these designs:

Splendid Fiins: love yooo photo frames
The Queen of Quirk: Love: Me papers and accents
Lauren Grier – Layered Up in You Edges

And this journaling: “One of my favorite things to do on vacation is jump on the bed and be silly with you.”

A perfect valentine-y layout for my love.

p.s.  My layout was featured on Saturday on the DigiLovely blog.  I love seeing someone else’s perspective of my layout.  Especially when it’s so sweet.  🙂

“This layout jumped right out to me because of the fun photo booth-type frames. THEN I looked closer at the photos and just giggled … how FUN are those photos?!? Not only do I love that this darling couple loves to jump on the bed together, but that they capture those fun moments {and amazing splits} so they can look back on it and *smile* This is the ultimate point of our scrapbooking and storytelling and I love it!!”

Thanks Kari!!

p.p.s. He totally wins in the splits contest. 🙂

Sparked by an idea from Martha’s site to use CD sleeves for goodie packaging. A little waffle cookie, some chocolate drizzle, cinnamon hearts… pure sweetness.

I also used these to send a little birthday happiness in the form of peanut butter truffles to a dear neighbor.  Four big truffles filled up the clear window nicely.  Many other possibilities, for both the labels and fillings.  Anything that warrants a little peek-a-boo.  Confetti holders?  Special crayons with customized labels?  Recipe cards?  Good thing I got the 100 pack.  😉

In the Making Design: Indulgence Elements (cupcake & quote)

Sweet On You elements (journaling tag)

A fun little creation just for me.  An ID tag – to tuck in the front pocket of the camera bag – just in case I ever lose our camera.  Knowing me, it just might happen.  Once I lost my flute for an afternoon while I was in college.  I was studying Music Education and my flute was quite necessary for many of my classes.  I called the campus police to report the disappearance.  A few hours later I talked with the transportation department.  I had left my flute on the bus.  I realized when the Statesman (campus newspaper) came out that I had never contacted the police again.  There it was – a flute missing – highlighted in the police blotter.

The other creation is a cover for my camera manual.  My favorite feature is the polka dot ribbon bookmark glued into the cover binding.  Sweet.

And a fun little tid-bit.  My first camera was a Polaroid.  I won it in the 8th grade invention contest.  I invented an educational board game, “Mind Stretchers”.  And won Grand Prize!  How I loved that camera.  Rita, one of my favorite roommates in college, had a polaroid camera.  She used it often and would always say “instant gratification”.  Made me laugh every time.  I guess digital is that way now.  😉
