Welcome back, my friends on this cold winter day! Are you tired of the cold weather? Maybe tired of being stuck inside? Starting to go stir crazy and antsy? Well, let’s take some fun into your craft room and get creative! I want to give you some inspiration for new and fun projects that are sure to warm your heart! Being that Valentine’s day is just around the corner, I hope these projects will inspire you and you will have fun creating some projects of your own.
You Are Loved By Nicole Nowosad
This is one of those perfect designs that can be adapted to fit any occasion, and it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day. We all know how much layering and dimension add to a layout; this is definitely demonstrated on Nicole’s beautiful page show below. Nicole added lovely details that draw your eye to the priceless photos, and that helps make this an amazing layout. Remember, scrapbooking is not just about the photos and embellishments, but the meaningful story behind the photos.
When creating a layout, choose a focal point and then create embellishment that will continue to tell the story. Don’t be afraid to mix and match supplies you have in your stash. This is a great way to use some of those you have had tucked away for years. The most important thing is to preserve the feeling of those precious memories you have made. I highly recommend you to visit Simple Stories any time you need a burst of creative inspiration. The wonderful designers will truly inspire you with their wonderful talent.
