so sweet...

**warning... this is a very sweet post**

I usually don't go this... but with valentine not too far away and the fact that Ruben has been very supportive in my decisions lately, I just couldn't resist making a little something for him...

for this week assignment, I got to play with the new collection from 7gypsies and can't begin to tell you how much I adore this collection - Venice. It truly reminds me of the time when we were in Venice - the romantic gondola rides (although ridiculously expensive), the strolls along the canals, the ever so yummy food & wine, the carnival and of course the shopping. :) and also using the latest sketch from 52 Sketches 52 Weeks #49

as for the pictures, they're from the weekend in BKK; just adore that picture of me and ruben and couldn't resist using it again and again. They were taken at this cute cafe at the sunday market - serving the best (and strongest) cocktail drinks ever; a perfect way to start the night & hanging out with friends.

  1. There's nothing wrong with a sweet post every now and then! ;-) Love it! I really like you you used the crackle paint! I've never used it like that, it's gorgeous. The whole page is gorgeous! On another note... I posted a page today that was inspired by an MME page you made a while ago. You're a huge inspiration to me! So thanks! :-) *hugs!*
