Two "Love" Layouts for Scrap FX!

Hi everyone!  Where has the month of March gone?  I can't believe that it will be coming to an end soon.

Before I share my layouts, I want to let you all know that I have been very lax in commenting on all of your beautiful blogs.  My family recently lost our dear dog after a long and drawn out illness, and my mom's dementia has progressed.  We are in the process of selling her home and moving her onto a more appropriate "Memory Unit."  So please forgive me for not visiting and commenting on your beautiful blog posts.  I will be back soon, I promise.

Now on to happier things . . .

Today I am sharing two layouts that I made for the Scrap FX design team using their newest "love" products.

Since it is the month of March, and my husband and I recently celebrated our 29th anniversary (on March 3rd!) I decided to make these scrapbook pages about us.

My first page, entitled "The Kiss" is about our first kiss as husband and wife.  The photo is a favorite one of ours and was taken by our photographer on March 3, 1990!!!

Here is my completed page:

I used Cocoa Vanilla Studios "Midnight" collection for my background paper.  And the following Scrap FX chipboard pieces that I heat embossed with white embossing powder:

"The Kiss"

I flipped "Blooming Heart"

 "Heart Corners"

 One piece from "Love to Infinity"

Scrap FX also has lots of paper products for sale, too!  I used the following:

"White Lace Heart"

And one butterfly from "Black and White Butterflies"

Here is a different view:

If you look closely, you can see that I stamped and heat embossed the sides of my page using the "Rose Garden" stamp.

And I also cut out 2 phrases from the "Love Transparency" and added them to my page.

Here is a closer look:

I used more recent photos of John and I, taken in December of 2016, 

for my second page entitled "Love."

I also used Cocoa Vanilla Studios paper from their "Midnight" collection for my background page.  

For this page, I heat embossed the following Scrap FX chipboard pieces with deep red/garnet embossing powder:

"Wired Love"

"Heartscrawl"

The second piece from "Love to Infinity"

and "Chain & Clip:

I heat embossed "Art Deco Border" with ivory embossing powder:

Here is a close up:

And a different view:

You can see that I added texture and interest to my page using the "Damask Border Stencil" and texture paste:

And I added the phrase that I love "Faith, Hope, Love" from the "Love Transparency."

Here is one more look:

I hope that I inspired you just a little to create some "Love" pages!!!  My wish is that you enjoyed seeing my post as much as I enjoyed making these pages.
