I am not a stamper by trade. Every month I get these beautiful stamps from Gossamer Blue, and I rarely use them. The February kit, however, had a stamp that I knew I MUST use. This LOVE stamp from the Life Pages kit is so adorable. I wanted to create the effect of stamping darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. It doesn't look exactly as I'd hoped, but it's okay. ;) My biggest problem with creating layouts with a lot of background noise is that I can never figure out where to put the photo! I have used this photo on a few layouts already - but it's my favorite photo of my husband and myself AND it was already printed out, score. ;)
I have been a journaling slacker lately...mostly because my typewriter is out of ribbon - does anybody have a great resource to buy new ribbon?? I need to get on that. ;) I also just don't feel that a layout like this needs much journaling. It's not telling a story about a particular place or time...it's just about the love. ;) Have a great day!
