Smitten

smittenmaureenplut

Aw, is it Monday?  The first day back to work after a glorious Christmas break? We really packed in a lot of visiting, celebrating and travelling into those 2 weeks.  I spent the weekend getting organized for work which always means a little inky time in the studio.   All the Christmas paper, poinsettias and {sniff} jingle bells have been put away to make room for everything pink, red, white and frilly.  I’m easing into the Valentine cards with just a little love on today’s project :)  If “Joy” is one of my favourite words, “Smitten” is right next to it.  I just love the way it sounds…crisp, fresh, fun and full of promise.  It reminds me of how I felt after meeting my husband for the first time.  I was smitten for sure (and still am!) ;)  I’m using this week’s Retrosketches #45  layout…what a fun one!  I reorganized some of the elements until I was “smitten” with the results.  Thanks for visiting and wish me luck on my first day back!  It’s always full on with those excited little 6 and 7 year olds…bless their hearts!

I hope the kids adjust well this morning and that it's a fairly easy day for you too! Love this layout...it is oh so sweet and that PS sentiment is fabulous.

It's so nice for teachers to have such a nice break! I was back at it on the 26th...! I'm "smitten" with your sweet card! I've been playing with a lot of new things from Christmas, and was really ready to put the Christmas makings away. I used every scrap from my Lily Bee Jingle Bells papers! Have a great week!

Smitten pretty much sums up my feelings for this card, my friend. :) Lovin' the polka dots and grey and pink combo. Hope those little ones weren't too hard on you your first day back!
