Love Birds

Happy Valentines Day!

I think I may have found a new, dangerous craft--digital scrapbooking!  I had way too much fun making this in photoshop with a free drawing and a free scrapbook paper pack and have it hung over our living room couch.  I definitely prefer the digital route much more than the real paper route--much cheaper, no extra supplies to store, and I can hit "undo."  Granted I haven't actually done anything with any photos or mementos to make a real scrapbook yet, but I may get into that later.  Just what I needed--another hobby :)

I decided to hang the love birds design in one of our three frames above our couch to replace the Christmas themed ones that we had up for the past couple of months.  With that up, I decided to keep with the valentine's them for the other two frames and put up these...

Modified the colors and the "trail" to fit my frame from here

I modified the colors from the image found here

And then I added one more to a frame on top of our bookshelf using the same digital scrapbook set from above...

the original design can be downloaded from here

So this is what our "above couch" decorations look like at the moment

And here are our romantic alabaster votive candle holders that R&D got for us in Egypt!
