Step-by-Step: My Mommy

It's easy for me to scrap those cute photos of the kids,  the ones where they are smiling, playing, posing-those are easy-peasy. What I find challenging at times is working with Valentine- or love-themed lines.  It's not that I don't love my family. But for the longest time I thought I could only scrap photos from Valentine's Day. Silly, I know! But I'm still growing as a scrapper over 10 years later and that means each day I learn a little more and explore a bit more too! I thought the new Making Memories Love Story line was perfect for a layout about how much my little guy loves me every day not just on Valentine's! Read on for the instructions.  

Supplies:

• Making Memories Lace Love Notes Paper
• Making Memories Artisan Love Notes Paper 
• Making Memories Love Notes Heart Doily paper
• Making Memories Love Notes Heart Pins 
• Making Memories Love Notes Metal Charm
• foam adhesive 
• pink Stickles
• Making Memories Love Notes Word Rub-Ons heart rubons
• Making Memories Foil Alphabet Stickers
• Making Memories Love Notes brad
• felt

Instructions:

1. I inked the edges of the Making Memories Lace Love Notes Paper with ColorBox Warm Red ink.  This became the base for my layout.
2. Next I cut the Making Memories Artisan Love Notes Paper . I cut it about ¾" off from the middle  and inked with a ColorBox Warm Red ink.
3. I tied a wide ribbon and adhered it to the page. I used the cute Making Memories Love Notes Heart pins and pinned a Making Memories Love Notes metal charm onto the ribbon.
4. I added my 3" x 4" photos to the page.
5. I then cut out a heart from the Making Memories Love Notes Heart Doily paper.  I added it to the page, popping it up with foam adhesive . I added some pink Stickles to make it sparkly.  I stapled one of the Love Note tickets to the bottom of the page.  
6. I added some Making Memories heart rubons to the photos and a phrase rubon onto the bottom photo.
7. Next I added the title using the Making Memories foil alphabet stickers.
8. I then added the "adorable" chipboard  and secured with a Love Notes brad.
9. I finished it off with a few more of the tickets and a hand-cut felt heart.
