How to Make A Valentine Layout of Your Sweetheart

Today I am going to show you how to make a Valentine Layout of your sweetheart. This layout features my daughter Sequita, and her husband Chris. The two of them have been happily married now for more than 7 years.

Super easy to make layout with step by step directions

I started my Valentine layout with paper from the Simple Stories Vintage My Valentine Simple Basics Kit . This is fabulous paper, and it has beautiful color patterns on both sides of each sheet making it super easy to use. You can find this collection and more at Fotobella Online Scrapbook Store .

These papers have a great thickness and feel to them.

Next I chose my photo and placed it into one of the Simple Stories Vintage My Valentine Layered Frames . These are chipboard frames made to fit a variety of photo sizes.

These frames were SO easy to use.

This is what my process on this layout looks like so far. Super cute, and easy.

Photo frame and mat glued in place.

Next I used some beautiful matching paper to place this Valentine photo mat on. I chose a beautiful floral sheet from this Simple Stories Vintage My Valentine Collectors Essential Kit . This is a real money saving kit, as it comes with beautiful pattern paper, matching chipboard, washi tape, and a sticker sheet. Everything you need to make several beautiful layouts.

For my next step I added a blue strip from the Simple Stories Vintage My Valentine Simple Basics Kit. These patterns looked great together so I had no problem matching the colors or patterns.

It was as this point I added a title block cut from one of the papers in the Simple Stories Vintage My Valentine Collectors Essential Kit. I loved that this kit came with these title pages that could be cut and used for project life style pages, or layouts.

Next I started adding pieces of chipboard from Simple Stories Vintage-My Valentine 6x12 Chipboard sheet.
