I haven't done any scrapbooking since early last Fall ... I forgot how happy it makes me! I'm not so much of an "event" scrapbooker, so I tried to put together something that could, but doesn't have to, be used for Valentine's Day. I'm always a little anxious (okay, a lot!) about the make-and-takes. Coming up with something that suits everyone can be challenging. (I seem to have a learning disability when it comes to the whole "you can't please everyone" advice!)
This spread is quite simple, but I like how it turned out. Probably because I used one of Valerie Salmon's sketches as a starting point (#40) -- love her stuff. If you like sketches, check out her site, Got Sketch. Can you believe the whole page was completed with just one stamp set, SU's new Always set? The "you mean everything to me" quote is microscopic compared to your average page title, but I think it works, don't you?
By the way, I don't know why those four middle black and white photos look so washed out ... they don't look that way IRL.

Amy, I don't think you can go wrong with this make-n-take. It is a great layout...so great that I am going to CASE it. Your kids are adorable, by the way. TFS!
omigosh amy - its gorgeous! i can't wait :-)
i love that stamp set and the layout is totally something i'd love to have in my scrapbook.
What a great page! I have this stamp set (and love it) and use it for cards, but I never would have thought to do a scrapbook page with it. You've inspired me!
I just found your blog and was so exited to see the first entry was a scrapbook layout using my new favorite set!! I too have put my scrapbooking aside due to massive cardmaking that the holidays bring on! This layout is GREAT! I'm looking forward to looking through all your old posts!

Your page is really lovely! wow!
I hope you girls had fun. I know Tracy was really excited when she saw this LO. She LOVED the stamps and how you made the cs look like dp. I love every little detail; The large scallops, small scallops, paper piercing, small circles used as bullets, and the journaling! You got your mojo on, Girl.
What a great page! Scrapbooking was my first love until I found stamping and cardmaking! This makes me want to pull out some pics and get busy!!
Beautiful pages!!! I will hopefully get my set today!!!
