Who’s Your Valentine?

No matter who it is, I have the perfect template for showing off your favorite photo. Pattie’s Speed Byte No. 095 is terrific for highlighting a single photo in an eye-catching way. There’s a cool text path and room for those patterned papers you’ve been itching to use. Enlarge it, shrink it, embellish it – there’s just no wrong way to use this versatile template.

I love how Paula (PaulaSG) included her daughter Molly’s cute artwork along with that delightful photo. The fun patterned paper and doodling she used extend the hand drawn elements of her page.

Anke’s (anke) page focuses on a canine member of the family who sometimes seems to take a back seat to two feline buddies. Anke’s paper choices pull color inspiration from Max’s honey-hued coat, and she pairs them with yummy reds and greens.

The bit of red in my photo of my grandson inspired me to go bold with the valentine red background for my page. I reduced the size of the template slightly and extended the holiday theme with some of the new heart-themed goodies in the store.
