Love is in the air...

With Valentine's Day approaching there are a bunch of fun kits that have come out. I searched products old and new to find the right stuff for my photos and am so happy with how the layouts turned out!

Carina Gardner's {Affectionate Megakit} was perfect for this layout--I used both papers and word art from the kit.


Carina Gardner also has a new Mega Collection out called {Love Nest} with adorable papers, frames and quotation clouds.


And although this next project wasn't made with a Valentine's specific product, I will be using it as a Valentine's Day gift for my hubby. The {Chalkboard Paper Collection} by Kitschy Digitals is so fun. I found this quote and decided it would make a good cover for a CD of songs that are special to the two of us.


I love the Chalkboard collection so much that I actually did a layout using one of the other papers as well.

External Flash Class!

I bought an external flash two years ago when I was asked to take photos at my grandma's 80th birthday. I had no idea what I was doing. I set it to auto and snapped away. Registration opened up tonight for "A Flash of Brilliance: An On-camera External Flash Class" by Candice Stringham at JessicaSprague.com! The class starts on January 30th and runs through March 2nd. I am thrilled to really learn how to use my flash. And because this class is brand new they are offering 20% off!!!

Another quote

Here is yet another great quote that I will be displaying shortly in my home! I used Echo Park's {Victoria Gardens Elements 2 Pack} and the Parma Petit Font.
