Ooh! look at this next entry from....

Helene Bogren - Sweet Memories

Hi Shazza!

I couldn’t resist doing a layout for the one I love! This is a picture of my husband and daughter on a perfect winter day that we spent together outdoors. I wanted to catch a feeling of old love letters and roses – the traditional love gifts. I also wanted to add some paint. I used red mist and stamped with red paint and a toilet paper roll (is this the correct name in English?) which I bend to the shape of a heart. I choose not to have any title or journaling but the word Valentine is found on tree different stickers.
Cheers Helene

Cheers Shazza

    A beautiful page full of love here Helene. I love the vintage look of your heart & roses over such a lovely photo.
    But how clever to use the paper roll to bend into a heart, & use to stamp...I like that!
    A page to be very proud of. Thank you for joining us.

    Love all the little touches on this layout. I can really see it with an old heritage photograph as a quaint vintage page.

    You certainly nailed that vintage feel & I am in awe of the ingenuity of using a toilet roll tube to create a heart stamp!! Love it all!! ♥

    WOW your paper choices are beautiful, and I love that you only have the heart and pics on the page and nothing in the background to get in the way.
    Lovely....
