Guest Designer at ... Giveaway

Good day all,

Guess what...I am a guest designer over at http://www.carsonscricutcreations.blogspot.com/.  About a month ago I received an email from Georgiana asking me if I would be interested in being a guest designer and create a Valentine project.  OOOH YEAH!!!  Really, I screamed that when I read her email.  Thank goodness noone was in the house that day.  My family already thinks I am weird enough.  They really do not understand my crafting addiction.

Hehehe. Anywhoooo thanks so much for joining me today and now without further ado....

I purchased a round foam shape at Michaels. I wanted a heart one, but they were all out of stock. Really? I had some red/white polka dot tissue paper lying around and knew that would be the perfect combination. I modpodged the tissue paper to the foam shape.

That went pretty quick.  I did let it dry overnight and it became very hard and glossy.  Love it.  Then I used my gypsy and just cut a lot of different shapes. 













I used A Child's Year and Gypsy Font for my letters.  Mixed and match them.  I used Gypsy Wanderings, Paisley and Wedding Solutions for the other items.  It was kind fun using a bunch of different carts at once.  I normally only use one or two different carts at a time. 

The banner was cut at 7.4 by 2.5 using white cardstock from the Wedding cart.  I inked around it in red and then used a heart stamp I got from the dollar bin at Michaels to randomly stamp the hearts on it.  I really like the way it turned out. 

I added a lot of rhinestones here and there to give it some bling.  I love the bling, bling.  LOL 

The 3 hearts pins I just added for some dimension. I have no idea where they came from but they came to good use. 

 I had this awesome ribbon that says "Happy Valentines Day" and used just one secion of it. 

 I hope you enjoyed my project and if you would become a follower and leave a comment I will be giving one lucky winner 24 inches of this awesome ribbon and two cuts.  I will pick a winner on the 3rd and ship it out right away so you have it in time for your Valentine's project.

As always, have a great day and god bless.
