Love to you from me for AEI(heart)U challenge

I haven't had much time to create the last couple of weeks, and I was itching to get back to it, so I thought I would play along with the current Avery Elle challenge.  It's a sketch challenge this month:



At first I was a little stumped by the sketch.  I kept wanting to put the sentiment in the circle part of the sketch, so in the end I compromised.  I went very CAS and minimal both in terms of color as well as pattern and stayed very true to the sketch.

I used the new Love die as the primary sentiment, and the secondary sentiment is from Simply Tags Everyday.

The circle outline/bow are Lawn Fawn Lawn Trimmings that I looped into a circle.  Then I used a second piece to tie them together and create the bow.

Staples were used to adhere the vellum pieces and I used Tombow Multi mono on the other portions (the love die and circle) which also helped to hold the vellum down.

Hope you are having a nice weekend!  We had a couple great sunny days, but today is rainy and gray.  I'm taking the girls to Target later so they can spend the gift cards they got for Christmas....should be interesting to see how that goes!
