"Be My Valentine Blog Hop” is all about Valentine projects!  We will showcase projects - layouts, cards, treat bags, etc. - for Valentines.  You will visit 12 Divas’ blogs with awesome creations and most of them are offering a RAK... Make sure to read instructions on each blog on how you will be eligible to win, as well as due dates...

Let's move to my project for today....  This is not a traditional Valentine’s Day Layout, but it was made with lots of love and it reflects the love that I have for my beautiful life!  What you see here are pictures of me and the many hats that I wear.  I am a scrapper, a Christian, a mom, a friend, a cousin, a granddaughter, a wife and JUST ME!

I used Co’ordinations cardstock for my base and sanded it with the Tim Holtz sanding grip. 

I distressed the edges of the cardstock and some of the printed paper with my Making Memories distress tool.

My printed paper and coordinating paper design elements are from Cosmo Criket.

The wooden squares are Scrabble game pieces with

Letter stickers are from My Little Shoe Box

Buttons, raffia, ribbon, ric rac and fabric are from my stash

 

My challenge to you is to use at least 4 pictures to show how and why you LOVE your life!

I will have some Blog Candy to give away.  To be eligible, please become a follower of my blog, post your creation in the thread shown below and leave me a comment so I know you entered a layout and are a follower.  I will need a way to get in touch with you so please leave an email address.

 You will get one chance for doing EACH of those 3 steps.  So that means if you become a follower, you get 1 chance; if you leave a comment, you get 1 chance and if you download your take on my challenge you will get 1 chance.  AND IF YOU DO MULTIPLE CHALLENGES FROM MY BLOG THIS WEEK, YOU WILL HAVE EVEN MORE CHANCES!
