Here is my layout. Inspired by Leslie Ashe. My photo is terrible but it is a rainy day so the weather is not helping photo quality. Great for scrapping though!

I took inspiration from Nancy Damiano's card. I was inspired by her product choice, the big banner and hearts.

All the projects are wonderful....but I thought Wendy needed a "little love" too....lol....so I made some little cloud embellishments for a scrapbook page using her idea! You can see them here:
