My Funny Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day!! I want to share a layout I made last week with you today, and this is definitely the perfect time for it. ;) Last month, May Arts posted about a challenge called Sweet Nothings on their blog. The way it works is that whoever wanted to participate in the challenge could go to their website, pick out some ribbon to be sent to them, and then promise to create a Valentine's project by today, using some of the ribbon they received on it. Of course I wanted to join so I went to their site and chose an amazing brown color of their Ric Rac, and sent in my email. After I received the ribbon in the mail, I couldn't wait to get started!

At first I thought I would make a mini album because I had this chipboard heart and I really liked it. I went to work on it, covering it with paper and attaching the ribbon and some flowers. Once it was done though, I thought it was way to pretty to get lost as the cover of a mini, so I decided to use it on a layout instead. I am SO glad I did because I loooooove this page so much!!
