Love? To me? Well, that just might constitute getting up early when you had the opportunity to sleep in but instead drove your wife to work so she wouldn't have to brave the depths of the new fallen snow. It might be the super large wet Spaghetti-o filled smooch planted on an unsuspecting mama's cheek. It perhaps is could be calling your daughter to just make sure she's ok, or your sisters to discuss the latest tv show gossip. Layers of love, and I'm so very lucky to have got it.
I'm also pretty lucky that the talented Tenia Nelson from Jazzy Paper Designs has joined me in a Carbon Copied post, where we are both showcasing our take on the current Just Us Girls Color Challenge and using the SRM Stickers #53008 Forever sheet.
I had an inkling to go soft and pretty so I chose a shimmery pink cardstock (can't really tell in this photo but you've got to trust me), a doily, lace and pretty little decorative stick pins. I purely do not think I've layered this much ribbon before, but it was a ton of fun choosing what I thought would work together for a fun, texture full design.
I can't wait to see what Tenia has in store today! I adore her layering skills and sense of color and composition. If you haven't the pleasure of visiting her blog, please check it out!
One last thing, May Arts has teamed up with Hero Arts this week, stop on over there too and leave a comment for your chance to win goodies!
