SSIC WAW Valentine Blog Hop

*** This post is a 'STICKY' for the duration of the Blog Hop

please scroll down for new posts! ***

Welcome to the Valentine's Blog Hop!  If you just came here from Gemiels's Blog you are in the right place, if not, you you can start back at the Word Art Wednesday Blog so you don't miss any inspiration and the Blog Candy along the way.  We are joining together with the Word Art Wednesday gals to share our love for the Lord this Valentine's Weekend, and we hope to pass on that love to you all as well!!

 John 15:9 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; now remain in My love."

In celebration of Valentine's Day, this hop is all about love - God's love! Besides all the LOVE-ly eye candy you will see on this hop in the way of cards/projects, we'd like to share the love by offering prizes to our hoppers as well, so be sure to leave comments on each stop along the way!! There is a "Grand Prize" of a SU! Stamp set called "Cute by the Inch" donated by the lovely Vicki of The Stamping Room (you can also visit her Stampin' Up page.)

In order to qualify for the Grand Prize Drawing, you simply need to leave a comment on each blog on the hop list. We will announce the Grand Prize winner on the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge Blog the afternoon of Tuesday, February 14.

There are several other fun prizes to be won along the way on some of the Designers' blogs as you make your way through the Blog Hop.

For my card I have typed the scripture and printed it onto white card, cutting it out with the Spellbinders Postage Stamps Die, layering it onto the Fleur De Lis Pendant - all Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur

An image from the Layers of Color Royal Birds clear art stamp has been stamped over the sentiment in Peeled Paint Distressing Ink.  I have added some Nestabling, in the shape of the Labels One Dies - I love the effect it has here...and of course lots of pearls!!

The flower is from Wild Orchid and has a handmade Stick Pin added, along with the Leaves from the Spellbinders Foliage Die. 

Finishing off with some lace and an image from the Layers of Color Old World Flourish clear art stamp set has been embossed in white along the lowers edge.

You next stop on the Blog Hop is Tabitha. 

You can see more of my projects in my Layers of Color Gallery, while you are there make sure you check out the other Design Team galleries there is so much inspiration waiting to be discovered, we are thrilled that Layers of Color is a Spellbinders Preferred Product Partner.

LOC Published on Paper

You have no idea the excitement that buzzed through our house when I opened the mail and saw my copy of the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine that has published my card in the readers section.  Even more exciting is the fact that this is the first card I made for Layers of Color - you can see it in my Layers of Color gallery here!!

I have a couple of photos so you can see the WHOLE thing and share in my excitement

Here is the magazine - and I am thrilled as there is a lot of inspiration in this month's copy!!  I usually just look in Blogville and sites where I have a gallery, but recently sat and looked through the magazines that have seen stored in 'Craft Central' - it certainly filled my head with ideas, I have tags stcking out of these magazines EVERYWHERE!!

Oh - and just incase you missed it  (LOL) - look right here - third name down - wahoo!!  Incase you haven't gathered - I am excited.....because.....

I have also been published on Scrapbook News and Review March issue and you can see it here -  (you will need to scroll down the page) 

I am going to have to settle down as it is my DD2's Pancake Party today after school for her birthday, which is actually next week BUT it is also the end of the school term and her friends all normally go away - so we are doing it today - I may just have to run those hot cakes through the Cuttlebug as they come out of the pan, just because I am excited - what do you think - use the Nesties or the Embossing Folders - when I first got my Cuttlebug, I offered to emboss the kids sandwiches - you can imagine the looks they gave me!!  LOL!  Little did they know it only needed one 'yes' and I would have done it - what fun it would have been!!  Their lunches would have caused a 'sensation' that day! LOL!

Thank you for coming and sharing my exciting news - I love it that I can share it with you - so do my family - they are going to get sick of hearing about it!  LOL!  Thank you for your comments and support - you are FABULOUS and a blessing to me!  God bless you!
