    Ah, February, the shortest, coldest (for some of us) month. Let's warm up with a Valentine.

    You are not you, you are someone else. Let's call you Not-You. Not-You has fallen madly in love with you. Not-You may have his/her vision blurred a bit by cupid, but s/he can still see you. S/he is going to make you a valentine, telling you AT LEAST ONE THING s/he loves about you.

    Go!

    Sample layout made with the February 2017 Mixed Media Monthly (M3) kit, with elements from Lynne-Marie and Paula Kesselring. The fonts are TangieAJFbandersnatch, TangieAJFelephants, and tangieAJFcheshire.

    2nd layout made with elements from Dawn Inskip (M3Feb17 Add-On); Little Butterfly Wings (M3May15); Lynne-Marie (FirmFoundations6 & M3Sept16); and Paula Kesselring (M3Feb16 & M3Feb17.) The font is Before the Rain. A man once said this to me. Sometimes, to find good things about oneself, it’s necessary to rummage through memories.

    I don't see anything wrong with your post. It looks fine to me.

    Ohhh, this is a hard one right now. The tail end of winter and I don't like each other very much so I'm not feeling very lovable right now about anything, much less myself lol. I'll do this, because a page like this will be very important to my current (& lifelong) project, but I may wait a bit.

    By the way @sbpoet, I like your quirky aesthetic too :) This is a great challenge and you explained this in a great way.

    It IS ok. The elements are there for you to play with. You may recolor, resize, alter any way you like.

    When my kids were little, I would put them in the empty cart and run them across the parking lot to the cart corral. It was probably the biggest thing that makes me a "cool mom".

    Okay I decided to give it a try. This is my first M3 challenge creation. Most of the people I meet comment on how much they like my southern accent. I added a few "strictly southern" phrases to the layout just for fun.
