Get it together No. 10
The year moves fast; this morning I was grocery shopping amongst the first easter eggs! Eeek! But before Easter, we still have some time to go, and some other occasions to celebrate.
Next month is Valentine’s day of course, and the previews of Katie’s upcoming work are starting to fill with red and pink, hearts and loving sentiments! Plus, in store already are over 266 products for Valentine scrapping 
Over here in the UK we don’t celebrate everyone we love on Valentine’s day, just our partners. So I get it easier than most of you; I need to make just one gift!:)
I’m thinking a photo book, a round up of some sort, or some quotes and phrases that say enough without going overboard.
Now is a good time to start to file away photos ready for a Valentine project. Yes; do it now, before January rushes by you and you run out of time. Little by little, as and when you get the time.
The fastest way to whip up a book is of course to get hold of a set of templates. You pick your style like the doodle ones, the little one, the arty ones, the graphic ones, the film strip ones… there’s quite a few 
These are Shutterfly ready, working perfectly well with Blurb’s 7x7 or 12x12 full bleed pages too.
A few years previously I made a book from this set.
I didn’t even alter it, I simply clipped in paper, photos and was good to go. Because I had my little pile of photos ready to go, it took just minutes.
The documenting a decade book is looking fabulous as everyone’s appears in the gallery, check out Katie’s latest here. If you’ve been together the whole decade that would be a truly great Valentine’s gift. I still cant find my 2000 photos… it was pre-digi mostly for me and I have a shoebox ‘somewhere’ of them! Hurrah for files and the digital era I say!
In the store there’s the sweetest valentine printables, ready to be clipped to the top of your sweeties for your sweetie
What about cards? I think if youre making lots to be handed out by your kids, or you, then you cant get easier than this.

and for something less ‘hearts n flowers’, these squares would look fabulous printed out as they are.
If you’re not mad about red or pink {like me} don’t forget Cassie’s tutorial on selective colouring, making it super easy to switch from pink to green/blue/etc.
The very best thing about the Valentine goodies in store is that, unlike Christmas trees, all these hearts and‘love’ words have a place on our pages all year
