2nd Freebie today & our sledding pictures!

Just like I had told you earlier today, I would be back to post photos and maybe a freebie, well guess what?  That maybe is a YES! :)  I am EXHAUSTED after a day sledding with the wee ones!  After that we followed with hot chocolate and cookies at my friend's house.  Here are some photos of our adventure, but I am sure glad it's over!  Be easy on my daughter's hairdo, we went sledding after all!! :)

I had to play to relax, so I created this layout (using Happy Christmas)with some of the pics and made you a template!

Don't you just love the color palette and all those cute hearts all over the place?  February is not only about Valentine's Day, so there are some gorgeous papers and elements that can be used at any time during the month:  I love the paper with the little cherries and the one with the geometrical pattern.  The frames and ribbons also work well with any theme, as do the flowers, and you know that you can always add a little love to any layout!  So have fun playing with it!  Here are some layouts created by Ruby Lane's layout artists:
