Gosh 53yrs - really???? Yep born in 1964 so it must be!!The desk shows the latest scrapbook page I am working on, my journal and other Love card.
Got a bit of "LOVE" inspiration from our host's desk a while back although neither of us can find the original post - blog or facebook???? Anyway Julia assures me it was her original creation which launched my crafting.
Firstly I made a SWAP card on the theme of LOVE, plus a spare.
I then changed up the colours, but had lots of paint left on my board so spread it on my journal.
The journal page just grew and grew and I added my favourite Tennyson quote.
"O love, O fire! Once he drew
With one long kiss, my whole soul through
My lips as sunlight drinketh dew."
I then adapted and blinged up the spare for a friend's Valentine Birthday.
Then changed the items for twin boys 15th birthday cards. (today too!!)
Thanks for the inspiration Julia.
Oh and the other scrapbook pages I have done this past week.....

Wow talk about multi tasking on a theme. happy birthday and happy WOYWW Sarah #25
Happy WOYWW and HAPPY BIRTHDAY too! I was 46 on Monday. Not much of an event in our household. It is the busiest time of year on the farm, so we manage to find the energy to go out for a meal locally and that is it. So many uses of that Love design - clever. Ali x #26
Happy Birthday BJ! How fitting that you made #1 this week! You've got lots of mileage out of that card background. Lovely scrapbook layouts for your treasured memories. Enjoy your day! zsuzsa #23

Hi B-J, not only are you #1 today, and Happy Birthday again, but you've been super productive this week too! Love you LOVE cards and the 18th birthday cards are fab. My grandson is 18 today too - seems today is a big day for birthdays. Your scrapbook layouts are great too. Hope you have a good week. Elizabeth x #35
I love "variation on a theme" cards! Well done! Happy Birthday!!! I think I was just falling in love with the Beatles in 1964! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #40
Hi BJ,
Happy birthday to you!!! The Love card is very sweet, just in time for Valentine's Day. I haven't gotten into scrapbooking but I can feel the itch coming on. I found a whole box of old photos that I'd love to get into books. I bought some Project Life cards but then decided I don't want to use them for scrapbooking - it seems that they would conflict with the old photos (yes, taken before you were born).
Have a lovely day and Happy WOYWW!
Hugs,
Kay (41)

Happy Birthday!
I hope you got some nice presents and you had a nice day! I love your LOs - I am not a scrapbooker but I admire the work of them !
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
Happy Birthday to you and the twins! What a Birthday Present those two were. I love how you started with one thing and let the leftovers flow into totally different projects. I see your crafting list parallels mine a lot - though I do not knit. But do have my hands in pretty much anything else hehe.
Thanks for stopping by my blog this week. I'll put the reminder for my color challenge in my WOYWW post the week before. Remember, you can always grab my button and put it on your blog as a reminder.. and share with others who would like to play. Creative Blessings! Kelly #46
I think by now you have had a happy birthday but pretend you arre here in Texas nad have another. What a productive week. That is a good way to use up paint.

Happy belated birthday, dear. I hope you had a great one. I really enjoyed seeing the scrapbook pages you created, as well as the LOVE and beautiful cards. You have certainly been busy.

Happy, belated birthday... 53 is a great age (bet you can guess my age now huh?!) I love seeing how much you did with one inspiration-card... the twins cards are nice too! Have a great weekend dear, lots of love from foggy Holland. Marit #32
I am very sorry about the incredibly late peek Turns out working on a Wednesday and joining in WOYWW don't go together - so I will just have to have Wednesdays off! Happy birthday to you - I hope you had a good one. It's crazy how adaptive you have made the card, so many lovely versions that are very eyecatching. Thanks for sharing, EmbroidRage #6 x
