We had so much fun with our first hop that we decided to do a hop once a quarter. This is the hop for the first quarter of 2011 and we are glad you decided to join us! We have 13 designers working on our theme for this hop, which is none other than Valentine's Day. We've put a twist on it, asking the designers to use the colors red, black, and white in their designs. We can't wait to show you what we've come up with! Some of the Sistas went the traditional route and used traditional colors for their projects. What would craftin' be without creativity and diversity?! We know you'll enjoy what lies ahead on the hop route!!<br /><br />Remember, start at the beginning of the hop and work your way through each blog. Please leave blog love (comments) along the way and become a follower of the blogs so that you can see the beautiful creations year round and not just when we have a hop! There are Sistas who are offering blog candy and you never know where you'll find some so be sure to visit each participating blog. Thank you for joining us for our 2011 SST! Valentine's Day Blog Hop! We hope you enjoy the creativity...<br /><br />For my project, I decided to make a box that measures 4 inches by 4 inches. I used a stamp from Club Scrap's Let Me Count The Ways kit for my background. My chipboard hearts and the word love are inked with Fired Brick distress ink and I added pearls for a little extra.<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed my project(s)! Here is the list of participating blogs. I've made them clickable to make it easier for you to follow along the hop route. Don't forget to stop by and visit everyone.

I have never made stickpins or charms before this. I used beads that I found at Walmart and corsage pins. My handmade flower is made from 8 scalloped circles inked, spritzed with water and crumpled. It's held together with a mini brad. For my tag, I added some patterned paper and then ran it through my sizzix machine using the swiss dots embossing folder. I added ribbon and a jump ring to hold my charm.

Our theme is "celebrate". This is an ATC that I made for the swap. I used my Gypsy, Expression and the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge. This is my first gypsy project. I have to say that I love it and can't wait to learn more about it.

This is the house my husband and I had built in 2004. I never thought I'd be able to do that but with hard work anything is possible. I am proud that we will be able to leave this to our kids and hopefully they will learn our work hard morals. God has blessed us to have another home in North Carolina too but this is where we call home.Lanitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04602119529448808282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967985600094736530.post-23147961859618604962010-04-23T16:07:00.001-07:002010-04-23T16:07:46.150-07:00Family fun layout<img width='640' src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_iWkohuUASjE/S9IoPum6cdI/AAAAAAAAADE/f5tFME5Upik/img.jpg'><br>This is the layout that I completed for the first challenge for VSBN at splitcoaststampers.

I did get one done for her challenges and also I did an ATC for another challenge on paperartistsonline.com. Here they are:</div><br /><br /><div>Post 1 is Challenge #1 at PAO and it was using a fairy theme. The Tinkerbell piece actually belonged to a watch set that my DD had.</div><br /><br /><div>The second is for challenge#1 at Robyn's blog. It was to use brown and a pastel. My kids and I made journals from toilet paper rolls. It was a lot of fun!</div></div>Lanitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04602119529448808282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967985600094736530.post-16162264746195232852009-04-25T10:01:00.001-07:002009-04-25T11:14:16.259-07:00My first post on my new blog!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iWkohuUASjE/SfNSoiJGKFI/AAAAAAAAABk/zr-h_eoGX2E/s1600-h/100_1497.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 164px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328693640422631506" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iWkohuUASjE/SfNSoiJGKFI/AAAAAAAAABk/zr-h_eoGX2E/s320/100_1497.JPG" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iWkohuUASjE/SfNCiCSQPoI/AAAAAAAAABU/xiYFevhQvD8/s1600-h/APR+TJ+one+to+one.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 142px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328675936605847170" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iWkohuUASjE/SfNCiCSQPoI/AAAAAAAAABU/xiYFevhQvD8/s320/APR+TJ+one+to+one.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><div>I'm new to the world of blogging but have been inspired by the many great ones that I have visited. I would like to share a card that I made for the April Technique Junkies One to One card swap. Paper and stamps come from Club Scrap and I also used the Script Embossing folder from Provo Craft and the Daisy punch from Fiskars. It also uses gold glitter glue and Broken China Distress Ink by Tim Holtz. I added a little to it and the top is the finished card. Thanks Ms Dee!TFL!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Lanitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04602119529448808282noreply@blogger.com0
