Here’s Becka’s recipe this month:
1 wordart
2 pictures – framed, unframed, blended – it’s up to you!
3 papers – the background paper is one, others can be layered like paper strips, squares, or circles
4 fasteners – staples, buttons, stitches, etc
5 different elements but one of them has to be a heart (in honor of Valentine’s Day)
