Seriously Sweet {American Crafts Valentine's Day Blog Hop}

Hi friends! I’m soo excited to be participating in the American Crafts Valentine’s Blog Hop again this year. There’s so much talent & inspiration along the way. Oh and of course, lots & lots of giveaways, like the not one but TWO I have below.

You probably came here from Ashley’s blog, so welcome.  If you are new to my blog, I hope you like what you see and will become my newest follower. Without further ado, here is the layout I created.

Supplies: American Crafts Amy Tangerine Plus One collection: Accomplice 12x12 paper (366822), Tandem 12x12 paper (366805), Ensemble 12x12 paper (366827), Soul Mate 12x12 paper (366818), Co-Pilot 12x12 paper (366810), Adhesive badges flair (366906), Screenprinted clothespins – Whittles (366907), Twins foam stickers – Thickers (366837), Remarks Tiny Matte Puffy Accents (366842), Remarks Accent & Phrase Stickers (366840)

I just love this photo of the hubby and I that Allison Schnurr snapped of us in December. We’re a great match for each other and now it’s documented in our family’s history book…and Amy Tan's new collection, Plus One is soo perfect for this layout.

To create the layout, I cut doilies in different sizes from white cardstock.  Once cut, I adhered the negative cut white cardstock over pattern paper and then placed the doilies back in their spots, only adhering them down in their centers so I could pop up the edges of the doilies. I added the title and OH MY, I just adore those word phrase Thickers!

I grounded the layout by adding a large border at the bottom and layering patterns and the photo over it.  I used one of the doilies that was going to be covered by the border and repurposed it as part of the layering around the photo. I finished the layout by adding a few mist splatters and embellishments.

TWO GIVEAWAYS!
