My Loves

Hello everyone !

Sorry I haven't posted all week , it was a bit of a rough week . 

I wanted to share this layout I made last night . I have some hero arts stamps that I couldn't wait to use . I started just playing with them and some Valentine stamps from joanns and michaels , then this scratch piece of paper turned into a layout . 

Those are the best (layouts), when they just come together in minutes . 

I love this picture of my son and my husband ,they look so serious when they are both goofballs. The second picture, I love because it has all my boys and my hubby ; my loves . 

I hope you enjoy .

Hope you  have a wonderful day .

I loved the bright colors .
