I usually just use a font for my title. Boring, I know! I do use alphas also. I often find word art isn't the right "style" for my layout unless it's a font/mix of fonts vs. a sticker type word art. I struggle with coming up with creative titles. I often wonder when I see such great word art in collections where the designers get their inspiration from!!

I will not look. I will not look. I will not look.....(at all the lovely goodies I want this week!)

Celebrating Valentine's Day always makes me think of candy. Candy hearts. Chocolate hearts. Valentine Candy Corn. Pink and red M & Ms. You name it, if it is candy, they make it special for Valentine's Day!! (sugar overload anyone??) Chances are you bought Valentine candy for a gift (OR yourself, I won't tell!!) or you received some as a gift. Your challenge today is to create a layout using (any) Valentine candy for your inspiration. You can use the colors or the shapes of the candy. Or you might choose to use the texture of the wrap or a design element from the packaging. The possibilities are endless. I have included some photos for inspiration, but you are not limited to these. Please share your inspiration with us. I cannot wait to see the gorgeous layouts you create! Please post your layouts in the Weekend Challenge Gallery and post a link back in this thread.

Great work ladies!!!

🤣

Thanks, Diane! 😃 I was curious if those were papers or if you used a different method. I love that after you clip papers, you can move them to different layers to get the end result you are looking for. Sometimes how I think it's going to work doesn't, so I just rearrange papers until it looks right.

Thank you for sharing Debby. WOW. Lovely designs. And, so many designer specials in the shop. AND, Elisha's new SS club. I wish I had a self-cleaning house so that I could spend the afternoon shopping and scrapping!! Must. Get. Up. And. Clean.

And the snow days continue.... I tried a new recipe last night that was yummy! Two more to try, hopefully, tonight or tomorrow. Maybe I can share them all!

Oh, so many candies!!!

Stunning! How did you create the background? I know it's one of Syndee's templates, but what was your method for coloring? Do tell!!

Here is MY LAYOUT When I think of Valentine candy it's the traditional red foil heart box of chocolates. My color scheme comes from this as well as the gold foil heart background paper.

I have a favorite that I KNOW I have shared. I will remake it but I do have a new recipe that I like, so I will share it too.

It is definitely soup weather here! I still have trouble grasping that everyone's weather isn't the same as mine!! Sorry, you have been sick Marilyn! I'm still fighting crud...for over two months now!

Lots of amazing designs!
