Valentine Flowers

So, I'm kind of still running a fever. Yuck. Drinking water and decaf. Another good thing: I have three meals for the week ready from what I made tonight. Roasted a sweet potato also along with a squash to stuff tomorrow when I make the quinoa and barley stuffing. The dinner from tonight was ehh, but hoping the addition of veggies and mushrooms will help during the week. Otherwise, I'm screwed on meals already in containers. Yes, I have frozen dinners I bought, but I would rather eat from the container stuff. I do know one will most likely get frozen because I just don't like having too many days of the same thing in a week. Hence the squash and sweet potato. I'm also planning a tofu salad sandwich or on spinach. Only time I can repeat meals is breakfast and still do variety there. I blame school and us always having a two week schedule of different meals. Maybe I should make pizza burgers next time.
So, below is the scrapbook page I mentioned in the last post about getting done. I am submitting it to Festive Friday for the current challenge. A way to get rid of more foil papers! Yes, there were multiple papers used with it. But, I got them to stick and hold. I wasn't sure to count the one as sequins or ribbob, but it is the sequined ribbon from the Heidi Swapp pack I got at Goodwill. He letters are the glitter. They were labelled as Glitter Foam letters. Then, I also have the interactive part of the pocket with the journaling to hold the tags from the flowers.


So, this layout is from Valentine's Day. The youngest bought herself a flower expecting not to get one. She did from a friend and then gave the one she bought to her sister. When I saw them after work, I asked to get pictures of them with their flower. The youngest posed first, then the older did the same pose without knowing it was already done! This certainly needed documented. So, I used papers from my paper pads from Michael's. I deliberately left the border on the one to put the date on. At the bottom, I folded the one scrap paper (part was used as a part of the frame for an image on one of the pages for the 18 birthday cake page) to make both a pocket for the tags and to do journaling on. I used glitter foam letters from dollar general for the title, then decided to add the navking papers to repeat the title on the opposite side. I used a blue permanent marker on them to add the stripes. I cut two hearts out from leftover napkin from the doily experiment. I also cut the white from the stickers I have on the page. They were from Dollar Tree still. If you look closely, I also drew a couple flowers above the foil love flag next to the sequin ribbon. As a last subtle item, I added some number rub ons from Tim Holtz on the page. I popped the pictures with foam behind them.
The older girl called the page fancy. So, it must be approved by her. I have the car show stuff coming up soon.
