Scrap Our Stash "Young Love" February Sketch + Hearts

Happy February Scrappers!  It is time for Scrap our Stash Blog's Sketch Plus Challenge!
This is  FUN one - perfect for Valentine's Day! You must use Heart Patterned Paper
and / or 3 or more hearts - I decided to do both!
I picked a photo of my hubby and I from "way back when" we were first dating in High School!
I decided not to add a title to the layout, and just did a little journaling in the bottom point of the big white heart that is on the base page.  I've had this paper for-ev-er and when I saw the BIG Heart on the sketch - I dug through my stash to find it!!  I hope I've inspired you to play along with us this month at the Scrap Our Stash blog - I can't wait to see your entries!
Young Love @ 1977 ~ High School Sweethearts

Here are some close ups for you:
I cut these hearts out of scrap heart pattern paper that I had and matted it on black, inking the edges and outlining some of the hearts with a black glitter pen.

The photo is from a photo booth, and I used a filter when I printed it.  the bit of "bling" under the photo is from a broken bracelet - talk about using your "stash!"

Love this chippie from Dusty Attic - I painted it pearl white with a dabber, then used silver and grey Distress Stains to give it dimension. So fun!

OMG! We were SO YOUNG!! 

I love adding layers, dimensions and all different textures to my layouts!
These Prima Flowers are beautiful!!


I've also entered this layout in the CSI Case File No. 273 Challenge  I drew on the Traditional Clues - The Color Scheme - Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Light Gray, Evidence - Hearts, Valentine Themed Elements, Metal, Distressing -Testimony - Young Love

SOS February Blend-a-Sketch with Hearts "Follow Your Heart"

It is time for February's Blend - A - Sketch Challenge over at the Scrap Our Stash Blog!  
This month's added challenge is to add Heart Patterned Paper or a Heart Embellishment on your layout!
You have until Feb 28th to play along with us!  Complete Challenge Rules and PRIZE Info can be found on the SCRAP OUR STASH BLOG!


Below is my take on the challenge.
I decided to flip the sketch on the right on it's side, and used hearts behind the photo (instead of a single star) as inspiration from the photo on the left. I added some tags, as shown on both layouts, and used many heart embellishments!
I love this photo of my youngest son Jake and I.  It was a selfie we took at my niece's wedding and is one of my favorites of us!  How is it that my baby so much taller than me!??  We had a great time celebrating with our family, and made lots of happy memories!

Besides the very handsome young man in this photo, I love the "Be you" flair button!  Below are some more close ups for you:



I love this "Hello Lovely" collection from Simple Stories- If you know me, I LOVE just about every collection they make!!  The colors are awesome, and I love how everything coordinates with the color of Jake's shirt. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed my take on the challenge, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Please hope on over to the Scrap Our Stash Blog for all the details!
