True Love

Hi - Jean here - with a Valentine layout featuring Design Adhesives, and just a few of the many, many ways to enhance your projects with them.  I've used - on the hearts from left to right - French Swirl, Fly Away and Vintage Heart.  Fly Away and Vintage Hearts are quite new - French Swirl is a classic favorite, perfect for any occasion.

Journaling isn't really needed here - the great stamps from Hampton Art tell the entire story of the love shared by this beautiful family.
