Lots Of Love Blog Hop!!!!!

Welcome my Crafty friends to the Lots of Love Blog Hop. First off I would like to thank Courtney for allowing me to be part of this wonderful hop, It's my First hop and I am in the company of some very talented ladies, so thanks Courtney!!

This hop will be showcasing 14 different designers and their love inspired projects. If you are coming from Nikki's your right on track. If you are just visiting and would like to join the fun then hop on over to Courtney's Blog and start at the beginning. We hope you have a great time hopping along and feel some love inspiration this Valentine's weekend!

For my love inspired project I made a card for hubby and a treat bag for my daughter. The card was made using The Childs Year cart, embossed with the diamond and dot Cuttlebug folder and I punched each corner with the Fiskars Flower punch and added stickles under the punches to make each punch sparkle, I also used pop dots under the center cut.

For the treat bag, I cut a 5x4 piece of red card stock, scored at 2.5 and folded in half. I then cut a pattern peice of paper 3.8x 2 and added to card stock. I cut a heart from the Designer Calendar cart, stamped it with a PKS (Wide eyed Kids face) added stickles and a bow. Hope you enjoyed my projects. I also repurposed a Tootsie Roll can, but I'm not thrilled with how it came out.

I have blog candy to give away, it is the Simply Charmed Cart!! This is such a cute cartridge. To be eligable to win please follow my blog and leave a comment on this post (one comment per person).

My Manly Mans Valentine

Here is my dear hubby's valentine!! We love to boat in the summer months so I thought this fitting for him. I used the Just Because Cricut Cart and cut the boat at 3", and the scallop frame at 3". I cut the boats shadow at 3.1" so it would be a little more pronouced and used pop dots to the boat to give it more depth. I added 3 brads and some twine to embellish and inked it up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I did the sentiment on the computer and framed it out with 2 little heart brads. I hope he likes it! I will be entering it into the following challenges-

Cricut Cardz Challenge #60 - Make a valentine card for a man using any cartridge, any colors.

Cooking With Cricut 15 - Anything that has a shadow

Jitterbuggin' Challenge 33- Non traditional Valentine, no red or pink

More than Favors - Wacky Wednsesday #24- You can create anything with the colors Yellow, blue and white.

Whew, can't believe I got 4 challenges out of that! I left links for all come check them out and join in the fun!! Hope everyone is staying warm and safe.

CCC #15

Almost let it slip past, made this card a few days ago and life happened and I lost track of time. This is the card I made for the Cooking with Cricut Challenge #15 . I used my new Simply Charmed Cart and cut out the cake, used glitter card stock for the icing and added stickles to the flowers, and yes I used my new Peachy Keen Stamps(PK-450) for the face. I just got these and I have to say they are the cutest little faces, just love them!! I added a ribbon and a Birthday sentiment from Paper Studio, Can't help but smile when you see that face!
