Feelin' the love

So I've put away my Christmas supplies (most of them, anyway) and am really enjoying working on some Valentine's Day projects.  Today I finished some 3x3 cards!  I got 24 cards made using 4 pieces of card stock and a stash of black and white scraps!

After that, I went to work on this weeks sketch from Sketches in Thyme (#100).  It was a super simple sketch that was fun to put together in a short amount of time!

Heaven's Got a Plan for You

I couldn't tell you the last time I created a layout for one of my own albums.  During the last year, I've created an album for my mom, created many 'naked' layouts, and lots of other paper projects....but none for myself.  So I went through my photos and found this single photo of my daughter from several years ago and decided to create a layout for myself.....it was nice!

The Dear Lizzy Neopolitan collection was a perfect fit for this picture.  The layout was inspired by a Creative Scrappers Sketch (Sketch #241).  I knew I wanted the title to be something about dreaming big, or reach for the stars or something like that.  Then Scrap That Chat bog came out with a challenge to use song lyrics.  The title "Don't You Worry Child, Heaven's Got a Plan for You" is lyrics from the Swedish House Mafia Song "Don't You Worry Child."  I think the song is beautiful and thought it matched the mood of this layout!

Winter Friends

Happy New Year!  I have truly enjoyed being at home with my family this holiday season!  Today is my last day before heading back to work and I plan on spending a good deal of the day creating!  Here is a card I created this morning using a sketch from catchthebugblog.blogspot.com.  It's a fun sketch that inspired me to create my own chevron pattern.

The chevron is not perfect...but I think it's pretty cute on this card.  The image is from fresh brewed designs...an old image that I'm not sure is even still available.  The patterned paper came from a Paper Studio stack.  This card also fits in with these challenges:
