I Love You Because Layout

Hello Stamping Friends!
Happy Friday!

I'm on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, using one of last month's new stamp sets!!
As well as sharing this layout on the Miss Kate Cuttables Blog Saturday.

When I seen the new I Love You Because set from IBS I knew it would be a perfect set not only for creating cards, but for Scrapbooking as well!


 I was so inspired to create this layout of myself and my little girl:

I just love this picture of her and I taken this past fall.  She reminds me so much of myself when I look back at pictures of me at that age!  She is my everything!!

Behind the patterned heart paper I used the bracket svg cut file from the Layered Overlays Set 1 from Miss Kate Cuttables.  I really like that shape!

I used the "I Love You Because" for the main title and then used some of the corresponding sentiments as well.

Such perfect sentiments to let her know how much she means to me!
Feb8_IBS_KSand3
So much meaning in a simple and fun layout for my little girl!
MKC_Feb8_Hearts
The heart border is part of the Heart Borders set.  I then cut out some separate Valentine Heart's, in which I added some shimmer paint to and then added them to the border.

I really like how this layout turned out! 

Have a wonderful day!

I Love You More

Hello Stamping Friends!

I have a fun and simple card to share with you today!

The phrase "I Love You More!" is said in our household very often!  So with Valentine's Day and my hubby and my Anniversary right around the corner, I found it very fitting to create this card for him for one of the occasions!!

That's why I love the Big Wishes II set from Inspired By Stamping!!
Just the sentiment and some die cut hearts, in my opinion make a big statement!

So simple, yet so elegant and so much meaning behind it!!

 Have a wonderful day!
