L.O.V.E. Layout - My husband, son and I at our Valentine's Party in 2010.

CHALLENGE! Create your own L.O.V.E. Layout
L = Large Shape (heart, circle, diamond, etc.): I used a large scalloped heart paper
O = One style of pattern (so you can use all striped pieces for example, but no other patterned pieces): I just used one striped pattern
V = Vellum: My striped paper is vellum along with the Love Miracles Happen quote
E = Embellishments (at least 3 different ones): I used a large flower with flower brad, Family Sticker, Hugs & Kisses 3D Wooden Sticker, 2 red brads, 4 blue clear circle beads

ONE WINNER WILL RECEIVE A $10 CERTIFICATE TO MY SITE. If you know me already, I love to give surprise prizes too =D
