"I Love You..." by Allison Davis
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye and American Crafts; Alphabet stickers: Basic Grey (i love you) and Authentique (oodles & bunches); Embroidery floss: DMC
Variation #1 - I stretched the design of the card to fit a two-page layout.
Variation #2 - I didn't use just hearts for my grid. I wanted the layout to be about the special way that Drew and I say I love you so I also added in several 2 x 2" photos of him. This was great for using up some favorite pictures that I had left over from other layouts.
Variation #3 - Instead of stitching through the hearts I created a grid/frame around the pictures and the hearts with hand stitching.

Mixed Media Project by Lynette Jacobs
Supply List - Printed papers: Fabscraps; Mist: Tattered Angels; Stamps: Prima; Other: Mod Podge, various acrylic paints, Doilie mask, white journal pen.
Variation #1: I resized my paper to 9x9.
Variation #2: I cut a big heart to paste on the background paper and mod podged over it. I painted around the heart and smudged the paint into the heart.
Variation #3: I drew the grid onto the background with white pen and added nine hearts to the grid.
Variation #4: I misted over the whole page in charcoal mist.
Variation #5: I painted around the nine hearts and smudged the paint.
Variation #6: I aged the entire page and then added the journaling with a white pen.

"MAN, Ohhh Man" by Michele Edwards
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned Paper: Basic Grey and Fancy Pants; Embellishments: Bling by Basic Grey; Alphabets: Cricut (Plantin Schoolbook and Calligraphy Collection); Floss: DMC.
My husband and I celebrated our 20th year together last week and I wanted to make a layout just for him! I love how this turned out.
Grid Variations
1. Instead of a card, I made a two-page layout.
2. I made a grid with nine squares on the right page and filled each grid with square of paper and either a heart shaped photo or an accordian heart with a bling center.
