Valentine's Day is approaching quickly, and I made a LO for my DD from our recent trip to Mexico. She went swimming with the dolphins, and got a giant pink dolphin stuffie for a present. She loves it, so I made a "love" themed page for her album:





Hearts were cut first, dry embossed, then edges were inked. Each heart is different!



First time I've ever used rick-rack on a page. Love the effect, but took a bunch of glue dots to hold both the ribbon on the page and the die cuts to the ribbon.



Supplies:
Cuts from Cricut Plantin (hearts) and Winter Woodland ("love")
Paper: Me and My Big Ideas "Destination Paradise"
Embossing folders: Sizzix Valentine set #4 and Love Set; and Cuttlebug d'vine swirl
Dye Ink
Rick-rack ribbon
glue dots and ATG adhesive

I'm back!

Wow, what a great vacation! The family and I live in Alberta, Canada, and we usually camp in Montana (love that state!), but this year we wanted to see more of "the world" and decided to go to Mount Rushmore. It's GREAT there, and if you've never been, I'd definitely put that down on my list of must-sees around the world. Lots to do, lots to see! But crossing the border was funny -- the American border guard asked us what "a bunch of Canadians are doing going to see dead American presidents?" I had to laugh ....

Hannah catches a fish. Then cries. It's a scrapbooking moment:



My favorite picture of me. I don't think I'm photogenic, but this one looks like me :-)
