Hi Everyone and Welcome To The Lots of Love Blog Hop!

If you are coming from Patti your right on track.  If you are just visiting and would like to join the fun hop on over to COURTNEY'S BLOG that's where the fun begins! We hope you have a great time hopping along and feel some love inspiration this Valentine's weekend! 

Now onto my Lot's of Love inspired project(s)!!

I was totally inspired to do a banner after seeing the adorable "Love Bug" on the create a critter cart. For the banner I used my cricut expression with the create a critter, storybook and alphalicious carts. I also cuttlebugged a few of the Marquee's behind the letters with a sixxix folder I got at michaels. (on sale of course!!) I blinged out two of the four corners on each Marquee with adhesive rhinestones and made a cute little bow for the "L". To string the whole banner together I used my new tool my Crop-A-Dile II which is a great tool to have. I punched the holes and used 3/16 heart shaped eyelets. Used red glittery ribbon to string thru the eyelets and there is my lovely banner.

***EDIT*** I forgot to mention how I made the letters glitter fabulous. I cut the shadow with bazzill bling and the top layer with plain red cardstock from stampin up. I use martha stewart glitter on the letters and once that dried I went over the letters with glossey accents. I love glossey accents it gives glitter that extra smooth shine! I hope everyone enjoys my little tips. :)

 

These cards were sooo simple and easy to make. I used K&Company Designer Paper and Stampin Up cardstock for the bases on both cards.

The two cards above I added some blingy rhinestones and also used my bakers twine for the first time from scrappymoms. The sentiment on the front is another sixxix mini embossing folder that came with the on sale pack. I inked the edges and added some martha stewart glitter to the letters to help them pop out.

For these cards I used some ribbon from michaels. I also added pink hot rocks and got to use my I Rock tool. That thing is so much fun. I want to bling out everything now!! The sentiment was cut from the Beyond Birthdays cart. I seperated the cut into 3 pieces on my gypsy so I could use different colors to make it pop.

Now onto the blog candy. Nom Nom Nom!!!

  I know all us cricut girlies go thru those blades pretty fast I am offering one package of cricut replacement blades. I'll also throw in a couple extra things but those are a surprise!! ;) To enter for the candy Please become my follower and  leave me a comment telling me what you think of my Lot's of Love projects.

This has been so great making these projects and I hope everyone goes and checks out all the other ladies on this hop. I have survived my very first blog hop!! Thank you Courtney for organizing all this and letting me join in on the fun.
