Valentine Treats Layout

Hello!  Michele here from www.michelegreen.com.  I'm happy to be posting today!  I tend to scrapbook about a year behind so today's layout is of the preparations for last year's Valentine's Day.  My daughter really wanted to create homemade valentines so we opted to make "sour cream containers" filled with candy.  (Personally, I have no idea why these are called sour cream containers.  I have never seen sour cream like this.  I HAVE however seen juice popsicles like this.  In fact, we were always served those as a treat with our hot lunch when I was in elementary school.  Sour cream...) Anyway... :)

The layout:

I had one little hiccup in this process. I can't find the printed photos!  So here's one that will be printed and put into one of those two big open white spaces:
(Yes, that's me there on the left.)

Here is the layout I have created.  This one was pretty simple to do.  It started because I had a ton of leftover strips from making the containers.  What a perfect way to remember them by including those strips in the layout! I arranged them any old way across a plain white piece of cardstock.


From there, I added my Cricut cuts which were all from the Phrase keys of the Create A Critter 2 cart.
Valentine - 3.5"
Treat - 2.5" (The s is off another phrase so the font matched)
Hearts are all from the owl cut - ranging between 3" and 11"


Here is a close up of the journaling for you:

It was a really fun evening spent with my daughter and niece getting their valentine's ready.  Happy Valentine's Day to all of you reading this!
