Wow is this for me

I made this page today throughout the day, I went to the gym on my scooter and at lunchtime Greg and I went for a walk downtown to get a Red Mango frozen yogurt for lunch as it was 28 degrees and sunny today so we thought why not go out and get some sun! My poor foot is giving me grief today so it's good to rest it and do some scrapbooking. I have managed to make the salad for dinner and fold up some washing so I can help my darling hubby Greg. I had a kit I bought ages ago from Big Lots, it was something like $5 for an SEI kit. I thought it was perfect as it went with the colours of both my dress in the photo and the cake for Valentines Day. I started with white cardstock then used some of the red dot paper in the kit and cut it on my Cricut Winter Woodland cartridge to fit to a 12 x 12 page for a scalloped square. I then layered on some floral paper from the same kit. The tag, foldover tab and letters are from the kit but I used the font for WOW from my Pooh and friends Cricut cartridge with a shadow. I cut the flower stems from Walk in my Garden and then made my own layered flowers using circles, scallops and buttons. I put the yellow circle layers through Cuttlebug folders. I cut the sweet square from a sheet I have been using for years to cut out bits, same with the heart. I printed my journalling on some lemon and yellow paper and stuck it onto a journalling block from my kit. I think it turned out pretty well!

I finished this page today, I've been working on it over a few days when I've had some time. My lovely Greg saw an idea on a catalogue page and thought it might work for a scrapbook page, it's amazing where you can get inspiration from. In the catalogue it was a little bird holding up a strap on a handbag, it looked like he was flying with the handbag. So I did mine with a frame idea, like the bird is flying with the frame. It turned out quite well. These aren't traditional Valentines Day colours either because I wanted to find some paper with a tree or something on it to make it look like the bird was flying out of the tree. So after finding the paper in my stash I used my Cricut Wild Cards cartridge and the Craft room to cut out the orange frame. I used the Everyday cakes cartridge of Greg's (as he has the Cricut cake machine and the cartridges can also be used in the Cricut Expression) to cut out the bird in 2 layers. I was struggling to find a font I liked yesterday and Greg being the lovely man he is surprised me with another cartridge he'd bought a while ago and had put away, it's actually a Disney Pooh Font cartridge, it has 3 font's on it and this one fit perfectly. So I cut one out in black as the shadow and one for orange. I went over the detail in the orange with white gel pen. I used Microsoft Publisher to print journaling on a banner shape. I finished with an Love sticker at the top. I love how this turned out, not traditional Valentines colours but I think it worked well : )
