He Loves Me Layout Instructions: I wanted this page to be a play on the old daisy game – he loves me, he loves me not – but only with the positive of course! I used the gorgeous Smitten brown glitter paper for the background. It takes a bit of encouragement to get things to stuck to it, but it is worth the effort for the finished effect. I trimmed the border from a sheet of Smitten Butterflies paper and stuck the lace all round the edge of the page, tucking in the picture underneath. I cut out petals and made the flower, using the centre of the butterfly paper which was just plain pink. Instead of a stitched or ribbon stem I used the wonderful shiny little Smitten heart stickers to make the stem and finished the page with Grand Adhesion Butterflies, the Smitten chipboard letters and lots of stamped swirls outlined in soufflé pens. The sad thing is that, unless seen in real life, you just can’t see the sparkle this page has. |

Valentine Card Instructions: Products used: K & Company Smitten Collection I loved the effect of the lace edge on the card so couldn’t resist using up another scrap of the lace paper on this card, this time teamed with the smitten marbled paper which gave a more masculine feel. It was a very simple card to make with just the Valentine word added, on a piece of scrap pink paper from the butterfly paper, and one of the fabulous chipboard hearts.

Padded Heart Card Instructions: Products used: K & Company Smitten Collection I remembered the padded cards you used to see when I was younger and thought it would be fun to try and achieve that effect.

Kiss Layout Instructions: Products used: K & Company Smitten Collection This is a very special picture of Simba, a fur baby we lost in 2003, the day after this picture was taken. It really was a kiss goodbye. I used the Smitten paper Pretties, cutting it down as this is an 8” x 8” page. I cut a cardstock heart (it is actually the remains from the heart used on the padded card and the Love Birds page) and framed the picture with it. I added some of the paper lace and another strip of the lacy paper at the bottom and used the words from the sticker sheets as a title. As the words and the arrow didn’t stand out so well, I outlined everything in fine black journaling pen.

Valentine Gift CD Instructions: Products used: K & Company Smitten Collection This make a quick and very simple gift for any occasion, but I thought it would be nice to make Nigel a CD of some of our favourite songs for Valentine’s Day . I made the cardstock folder using pink cardstock and the Smitten Heart Stripe paper following the downloadable instructions and template here I stitched all round the edge of every side and then embellished the front with a photo of my husband and I, circled with the gorgeous heart gem sticker, and one of the cardstock stickers, mounted on contrasting card. I used one of the glitter sticker words on both the inside CD flap and on the front cover.

Project 15 Instructions: Products used: Basic Grey "Two Scoops" Collection
Note. I decided to leave the space under the aperture empty because I thought it looked elegant that way, but there is easily enough space to add a sentiment if you wish. |
