Valentine's Day

Today is that day.
It is give-a-mushy-sentimental-card day.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all.

I am sure many of you received at least one card, if not more.
And I bet, you parents received a handmade one from your children.

Here is a great opportunity to initiate a page dedicated to your child’s artwork, if you have not done so already.
Depending on the size, you can create a page around it.
Take a picture of your child giving you the card or just use one you have that is recent.

If you are like me, you might have even helped them make a few. Did you take any pictures?

I have found that some of my best pictures are when my children are too busy to know what I am doing.
So remember to snap a few shots when little hands are busy creating masterpieces.
I love to see children creating with their hands.
Every piece of artwork is done in love.

I would love to hear how you are using your children’s creativity together with yours.
Tell me about the pages you have created using your child’s artwork.

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.

Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.

There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.

Visit the Doodlebug blog to learn more about this project and watch a flip through video.
