Hello, crafty friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a 12×12 scrapbook layout that’s perfect for your Valentine’s Day photos. I created it with one of Lori’s gorgeous cutting files called Square Background Set 2 (SVG, Silhouette). It’s filled with the cutest heart cutouts and ohhhh, how I love it!

I used the file to create the beautiful white heart border / background. Then, I added square photo mats made from pattern papers and embellishments from Doodlebug’s Lots of Love Collection.

To make it, I started with a sheet of 12×12 red Bazzill cardstock as the base. I cut Lori’s file out of white cardstock and a blue pattern by Doodlebug called Buffalo Check and Woodgrain in the swimming pool color.

Next, I layered the white paper on top of the base cardstock. I love how the red shows through the cutouts. But for a little more color, I glued the little blue hearts from my second cut all around the edge.

The heart cutouts are perfect for my Valentine page and I love how they can be customized. You could make all of the hearts different colors or every other heart a different color.
Here’s what the file looks like …
So gorgeous! And it’s definitely not just for Valentines Day – hearts can be used for anything! With a different paper collection, you could use this file for birthday, wedding, family, pets, etc. The possibilities are endless!
Lori has lots of amazing background cutting files in her shop and they’re so fun to create with. I hope today’s layout inspires you to use one in your next project. Thanks for stopping by the blog and happy scrapping!
Very pretty!
