Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop - the Letter "L"

 

Welcome to Ink and Share Scrapbook Blog Hop
Our theme is the Letter "L"
This month was a bit of a challenge for me...
It must have scared all the usual blog hoppers away too as there are only 3 of us today.

My layout is very simple, I initially thought that I would do lots of layering...
BUT I decided against that and went with the simplicity.
Using a soon to be retiring colour of Cinnamon Cider, which I LOVE!!!

I started with my 12x12 Cinnamon Cider cardstock
Next I used Heart & Home DSP in the Cinnamon Cider colour with the bees on it
from which I punched out with the 14 Hearts with the Heart Punch pack.
I layed them across my layout, and the whole layout started from there.
Some I used on the top of the scalloped heart punch.
Using the Heart & Home Memories & More Card Pack I chose one small 4" x 3" card
which I cut the centre out of to use it for another project as it had the word Celebrate on it.
AND from another one I chose to use the words Life Is Beautiful for my other heart.




In the Heart & Home Memories & More Card Pack, they have 2 different sticker sheets
which I used the banners from it for the top of my layout behind the Scallop Heart Punch...
I want to stamp LIVE, LAUGH & LOVE on it BUT I could not find my Beautiful You stamp.

Lots of Love stamp comes from Celebrating You Stamp Set from the Jan-Jun Mini.
I just kept stamping Lots of Love in Early Espresso ink all over
the area to create a visual point as this page will have a photo of me and my husband on it...

Next I stamped and die-cut several small dandelion bouquets as well
as some of the dies that co-ordinate with the Honeybee Home Stamp Set
and Honeybee Bloom dies.
All of these dandelions and sprigs were then stuck together
to create a bouquet for the side of the photo mat.
I added some Champagne Rhinestone to bling it up
to hold it all together I tied a simple piece of twine around it.

Next I added the bees which were from the sticker sheet to complete the layout.

Thanks for following along on the Blog Hop, please remember to leave me some LOVE
by simply leaving me a comment...
