Hello and welcome to A Lovely Blog Hop! If you have just stumbled upon this blog hop you can follow along by starting at Everyday is an Occasion. If you have been following along you should have come from Missy over at Quick Chick Designs.
The idea behind this blog hop is to make a Valentine's day project, card, etc.. . I decided to make (drumroll please......) a LAYOUT!! You all must be falling over in shock!! I know, so outrageous for me! haha!
For the LIFE of me I can not get my layout photos to come out straight. They are square! It should not be this hard!! Ugh! Anyway, I did the best I could ;)
This project was really a comedy of errors. Should have been very quick and simple, but pretty much everything that could go wrong DID go wrong, but somehow I managed to get it done!
This is a Valentine's Day blog hop and I do not have a Valentine this year, but I DO have a new love: my brand new DSLR camera. I think this is going to be a forever thing... I decided to do a page about my new love rather than a silly boy. Ha!
I am once again using MME's Lucky in Love collection. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of this kit!! I love that it is sweet and romantic, but doesn't scream Valentine's Day. So if you are doing a layout about, say, your love for your camera instead of a husband or boyfriend it still works!!
I did something fun with the title. I love the look of those block letters (not sure the exact font title or style name, but I've been seeing it alot lately- particularly with Elizabeth Kartchner's work). This was the best I could do using the Boys will be Boys cart. I designed the lettering on my gypsy (this is where my night of errors began) and then cut it out on my Cricut on throwaway paper. I then laid my template over my page and used spray ink to 'color in' the title.
Thanks so much for hopping with us today! I hope you have been inspired by all the amazing talent exhibited here today. Big thanks to Jill for organizing this! Mwah!
Your next stop is Lisa from A Mermaid's Crafts.
Whether you have an awesome Valentine to shower with affection, or you're paying tribute to inanimate objects like me I hope you have an AMAZING Valentine's day! Until next time!!
