Maile Belles inspiration

so, I've fretted and worried about this little project for several days - I feel so intimidated when I try to re-create someone else's stamping style . . . especially Maile's!  I tried to use a tone-on-tone background when I stamped the hearts with versamark, but it turned out quite bright . . . I kept the rest of the layout very simple, but I just couldn't resist layering a few extra colors and patterns (I love the results!)

stamps:  papertrey ink, paper smooches
papers:  stampin' up, papertrey ink
dies:  papertrey ink

here is my "mini" valentine for my husband, created from my scrap drawer (I love the black heart)!

papertrey ink's 8th anniversary

the "pineapple express" has been blowing thru northern California ALL day - it's SO windy tonight that I haven't even attempted to try to go to sleep . . . so I'm upstairs stamping a few more valentines . . .

I chose this layout sketch . . .

stamps:  papertrey ink, close to my heart
