First up is My Favorite Valentine, a new kit by Andilynn Designs:
I love the the colors in this kit. They aren't overwhelmingly sweet -- makes it a lot easier when you've got BOY pictures to scrap!
I struggled a bit with my titlework here. That's not typical for me; usually I feel like I have a bit of a knack for it ... but this time the way I originally had it -- all lower-case, and horizontally aligned -- looked way too plain. Lucky for me, Andrea included both upper- and lower-case in this kit! I changed out the "love" to "LOVE," moved it to two lines instead of one, and it looked better. Then I subbed out the "O" for a pretty glass frame from the kit and slipped in a photo ... and suddenly my ho-hum title was awesome! Yay!

Next up is Dating Around by Plum Dumpling Designs. This was a participation prize for a ScrapMatters speed scrap last week, but if you missed it, you can pick it up in the shop!
I love dating elements, and these ones are really fun! I experimented on my layout with them a bit and saw a lot of potential to create lots of different looks with it.
I hope you're not tired of these photos yet, but I ended up with so many cute pictures during our little photoshoot last week that I couldn't resist scrapping them. I included the Valentine card, too, since I liked it so much (if you like it too, scroll down a few posts and pick up the 4x6 freebie quickpage!) And I love how this page turned out. I can't believe I got all my favorites on one layout! Yeah!!

Wow, Beth--way to go on getting all of that done. I always feel bad if I can't get something done for a new release but we get such short notice and Thursday nights are BUSY around our house so it doesn't happen often. This is a fantastic kit though! I'll definitely be doing something with it this week. I agree--the colors are fabulous!! And good for more than just Valentine's Day. Yes, your title is GREAT!!! So is your clustering on the puppy LOVE LO. WOw!!
Oooh, I saw that date element in the store today and LOVED it and thought of you because I know you probably got it! Lucky! It's really cute!
I was going to ask you about your photo shoot and how you got such great pictures--then I read your LO. I did exactly the same thing and you saw the best of the photos I got. K's not even looking up in one and the other picture is blurry and I'm not loving her hair. And those with CHOCOLATE as a bribe and taken in the morning when she's usually happier! Oh, well. Anyway, needless to say I was SUPER impressed with how great your photos are. I don't blame you for having so many favorites. Your boys are ADORABLE and J is looking so grown-up now!!! I can hardly believe what a difference 6 months makes. (Can you believe it's been that long already?!?!)
I love your strips of photos--such an effective way of fitting lots of photos without overwhelming the page. I also love how you included your Valentine card on the page. I'm going to have to lift that idea for sure. I was so pleased with myself that I didn't merge all the layers of my blog header like I usually do, so I was able to shrink things down a bit, crop my canvas and use it as our Valentine card for the grandparents. Woot! Two projects for the time of one!!
Lots of great things going on here, Beth! Thanks for the inspiration!!
