I (heart) U When You're . . .

February 15, 2010

Here is the third scrapbook layout we’re doing at Scrapbook Club (weather permitting) tonight.  I used one of our chipboard hearts from the Occasions Mini catalog and covered it with DSP and embossed on the swirly from Wedding Sweet.  It may be heard to read, the title/journaling says “I (heart) U when you’re goofy, messy, [...]
