I fell in love with this the first time I saw it. What a fun idea. I knew I wanted to make it for Trace...but I wasn't sure about the template that was used. It seems a little too fru-fru for him. I have seen others examples all over the Internet. I decided that if others could come up with their own design, so could I. The question was, did I have the patience? I tend to want things perfect. And perfect takes too much time. But I gave it a go...
I am so glad I did. It took way less time than I thought to come up with a design and fonts that I liked. And for once, I found that simple was the best way to go.
I intended this to be something that Trace could put on his desk at work. You know, as a mushy reminder of me and him. But, I didn't want it to completely scream mushy-ness. So, again, simple was the way to go. No need to type out L-O-V-E. Although, I couldn't resist a heart sticker. :)
I added our picture in the front. If I had time, I think I would have placed more pictures throughout the pack. But, as I said earlier, I only have so much patience. I decided that I should quit while I was ahead.
Distressing the cards wasn't too difficult. It seemed wrong to scuff up and ink brand new playing cards. Although, it was cathartic.
And coming up with 52 things that I loved about Trace wasn't that hard either :)
This Valentine's Day marks 14 years since we got engaged. Imagine that.
