"For the Love of Cute", by Becky Williams.

The "Kiss Me" collection is fantastic for celebrating all kinds of love, even the love of cute kids! Here I tried to show off many of the patterns available in this line and mixed in some of the brand new Freestyle Sophisticates papers and crocheted hearts as well. The tiny stickers from the Alpha+Bits sheets are always the perfect addition for me to finish off a page.

Supplies:
Sophisticates: Freestyle Cotton Candy, Freestyle Saltwater; Kiss Me: Bouquet Kisses, Mustache Love, True Love, Borders & Cute Cuts, Flutter, Love Notes, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Designer Tapes: Punch Chevron, Pickle Juice Stripe, Teal Stripe, Red Dot; Crocheted Hearts: Pickle Juice, Punch, Scallop; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Ice

"She Loves Her Blankies", by Becky Williams.

My baby girl has quite an obsession with two of her blankets. She likes to take them wherever she goes and will only allow us to cover her up with these two when she goes to sleep. It is something that she does that is unique to her. None of my other kids have been so tied to blankets the way she is. She's like our little "Linus" from the "Charlie Brown" shows! I wanted to create this layout to help us remember this little thing about her.

Supplies:
Kiss Me: Mustache Love, Bouquet Kisses, Flutter, Borders & Cute Cuts, True Love, Love Notes, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Crocheted Hearts: Gulf, Punch, Pickle Juice; High Five Alpha Stickers: Gulf, Cream-Brown, Piggy-Punch

“Like Them”, by Laura Vegas.

I was looking for some photos to use on this layout and came across these much older pics of my two daughters and my "third daughter" Amanda, who was one of my daycare kids who was with me for so long and so close to my girls that we truly considered her part of the family. I was playing around with my chipboard alphas, trying to figure out what I could spell out of the letters I had left, and came up with this fun title, mixing in some tiny High Five alpha stickers as well. It's true. I don't just like these girls ... I love them!

Supplies:
Kiss Me: Love Notes, Bouquet Kisses, Borders & Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Sophisticates: Sprinkles & Lace Surf And Turf; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Pony, Pickle Juice, Blueberry; High Five Alpha Stickers: Blue; Crochet Hearts: Saltwater; Button Market: Pink Flowers; Feathers: Pickle Juice, Banana, Surf & Turf; Designer Tape: 12mm Combo Pack, Ice Stripe

"Beautiful Love", by Jenny Evans.

I really enjoy scrapping photos of my husband and myself. I am so used to scrapping about my boys, that it is nice to do something "different", almost "girly"! The Kiss Me collection is perfect for that! The gorgeous pink and navy blue combo is a favorite of mine, and is a beautiful backdrop for my photo. The Crochet Heart and Feather are just the perfect touch to finish off my page!

Supplies:
Kiss Me: Bouquet Kisses, Flutter, Borders and Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Blueberry; Designer Tape: 12mm Combo Pack; Button Market: Pink Flowers, Blues; Feathers: Surf N' Turf; Crochet Hearts: Punch

“The Mustache Made Me Do It”, by Malika Kelly.

I had taken these fun mustache pictures of my son and wasn't sure what to do with them until I saw the Kiss Me collection. A perfect match! I found a cut on my Cameo of six different shaped mustaches. I sized them to fit on the "I'll tell you a secret" sticker and the title of my layout took off from there.

Supplies:
Kiss Me: Mustache Love, Flutter, True Love, Borders and Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers; High Five Alpha Stickers: Brown-Cream; Designer Tape: Hot Pink Dot Tape, Chevron Combo

“Sweet On You” card, by Laurie Schmidlin.

I wanted to add a little extra "something" to my card, so I created a pocket with a pull out message! I combined several Kiss Me papers, Cardstock Stickers, and some stamped images using the new Kiss Me Cling Stamp set.

Supplies:
Kiss Me: True Love, Flutter, Borders & Cute Cuts, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Cling Stamp Set

"Love You Forever" card, by Gretchen McElveen.

The Kiss Me line is going to be perfect for the upcoming Valentine's day; don't you think?! It is so sweet! I pulled out my favorite heart punch to add some hearts to embellish this card. The "notebook paper" on the left side of the card is actually part of a sticker from the "Just Write Journaling Stickers". I trimmed it in half and then rounded the top left corner before I adhered it to the card. Thanks for looking!

Supplies:
Kiss Me: True Love, Bouquet Kisses, Borders & Cute Cuts, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Alpha+Bits Stickers

"So Many Smiles" card, by Gretchen McElveen.

How can you not love this mustached patterned paper??! It is just so stinkin' fun and cute! And I thought it was a good compliment to the "So many of my smiles..." sticker. I cut the larger heart with the mustache just above the sticker out of the "Cute Cuts" sheet of patterned paper.
