Sweet Little Love Note - Sketch N Scrap #240

Hello, everyone! Happy Saturday to you! I hope that you are having a good weekend - and if you are lucky enough to get Monday off for MLK day - enjoy!

Today I am sharing the layout that I created using the January 1st sketch at Sketch N Scrap. I love it when a sketch has big blocks of paper on it and this one is sure to go into my favorites! Here's a look at the sketch:

And this is what I came up with:

For this layout, I used my layout kit #1 that I created for our Stash Bash challenge this month. It's a little busier than what I tend to make but I like how it turned out and it was fun to put together - AND I  got a few more papers used up from this collection! I now only have the cut apart papers and a few scraps left to use. Maybe I'll try to make a card or two from it.

These photos are from Valentine's Day last year. We'd had a stretch of super cold weather - cold enough for our swimming pool to freeze over - and some snow. Scott went out on the ice and shoveled a heart out of the snow for a sweet little love note for my valentine!

Here are a couple of close-ups:

 

I used one of the cut apart cards from the 6x6 paper pad for my title base. I added the rest of my title by way of tiny alphabet tile stickers and an enamel heart to finish it off. 

I fussy cut the stained glass heart from a cut apart card and used up a few more stickers from the sticker sheet. 

I made sure to mat all of my patterned papers with black cardstock since they were all so busy. This helped them to stand out a bit off of that busy background.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!
