Blogworthy!!

Happy Thursday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!! I was completely shocked and incredibly honored to find out this morning that Tim Holtz included me in his February Blogworthy links!! I can't tell you how stunned I am!! You all know how much I adore my Tim products :) Click HERE to see the rest of this month's Blogworthy Links!! Thanks so much, Tim :)

I do have a Valentine's Day project to share with you today. I had hoped to have a couple more this week, but time got away from me. February is flying by as fast as January :)

I love these thick chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby. It looks a little crooked in the picture...I guess I didn't get the bottom of the lightbox straight :) The papers are from my Mind's Eye Love Me stack.

This adorable Cupid is a Die-Versions Sweet Petite die. Isn't he cute??!! You can find him HERE. He was covered in Recollections Blaze Embossing Powder. I just love the sparkle it gives.

The flowers are from Prima. The center button is a Spellbinders Home Sweet Home die, cut in Core'dinations Core Couture paper.

The hearts are Tim Holtz dies. Heavyweight cardstock from Canvas Corp was covered in Tim's Tissue Tape. They were then inked with TH's Barn Door and Fired Brick Distress Inks, and then Black Soot on the edges.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Cut it Up Challenge Blog #38 - Valentine's Day

A Lovely Blog Hop!!

Hi everyone and welcome to A Lovely Blog Hop!!

If you just stumbled upon this hop, you can follow along by starting at Every Day is an Occasion. If you have been following along, you should have arrived from Heather at The Hunny Pot.

The idea behind this hop was to make a Valentine's Day project, card, etc... For my project, I created a Valentine's Day wall hanging.

Watercolor paper was inked with Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Barn Door and Aged Mahogany, spritzed with water and dried. A stencil was placed over part of the paper and spritzed again with water, and then the water was dabbed off for a ghost effect in the stain. The edges were inked with Walnut Distress Ind and then Black Soot. The chipboard letters are from a Wal-Mart clearance a few years ago. They were stamped with the text stamp from the Tim Holtz Love Struck stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black, and then inked with Barn Door and Fired Brick Distress Ink. The edges were shaded with a Distress Marker in Black Soot.

I think the chipboard heart and wings are from Tim Holtz, but I'm not positive. I've had them for a long time and had thrown away the packaging. They were inked with Fired Brick and Barn Door. A strip of TH Tissue Tape was adhered to both. The edges of the heart were lined with a Distress Marker in Black Soot, and the wings were inked with Black Soot Distress Ink.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp - Have a Heart
2. Sunday Funday #6 - Linky Party
3. Dl.art Thankful Thursday - Linky Party
4. DJ's Sundries - Valentine Challenge
