The New RTC grid paper is so much fun. I have been waiting to get my hands on some and finally the mail carrier brought me a package postmarked Virginia. YES!
Valentine's Day is the perfect time to try out the Limited Edition Brick RTC. I used the 4x6 grid to create this tribute to my husband. I think that he is going to appreciate this much more than a store bought card. I will add his favorite chocolates for the perfect Valentine's day gifts.
I used a 3 2/8" x 3 2/8" photo and a Striplet from the Friends collection for my title. The seal is a combination of two stamps from the Clearly Love Clear Stamps. I also used the smallest heart from the collection to stamp inside the ampersand.

I flanked the 2 1/8" x 2 1/8" photo with squares of Heidi Swapp and Basic Grey patterned paper. I went for a menswear look in the patterns I chose. I used The Clearly Love Clear Stamps for the "I heart you" - stamping it once on the white strip (2 1/8" x 1") and then again on red cardstock - cut out the heart -turning to over so the black ink did not show and used a dimensional foam dot to give it height.

This photo of Joe and Jarrett is 3 2/8" x 3 2/8". Three 1" squares finish off the grid. I added a heart embellishment on dimensional foam dot. I wrote "you 2" on the heart.

I really love the look of black & white photos on the brick RTC.
And finally - the back cover - all stamps from the Clearly Love set - some in Versamark and "true love block" in black ink.
Punch holes with Crop-a-dile, add book rings and black ribbon to finish.
See you next week! Stay warm!
