Welcome to the American Crafts blog hop! Today we're sharing love themed layouts and projects for the holiday of love. I have always seen this as a day to celebrate the people you love - and not just in the romantic sense. {I think I get that from my mom...}
You should be arriving from the very talented Paige Evans' blog.
Oh, man. Is it ok to admit that I didn't want to include this photo with me in it? We recently visited my side of the family {we miss them TONS}. It's cold there. Like really cold. Like teens and single digits cold. So I wore a hat a lot. It was a cute hat. It also gave me hat hair when I wasn't wearing it. Sigh. But that's real life, peeps! So here it is.
I miss them. Badly. And love them. Lots.
If you look more closely at the layers of paper, you can see this one a little hidden in between:
One of the fun things about this Amy Tangerine line are the great neutrals like this kraft pattern paper that give you the opportunity to customize and play a bit more for your layout. I chose to just swirl some watercolor paints into the centers of the flowers, and dab a bit of green for the leaves. When it was dry, I just cut it and added it to my paper layers for a perfect match.
To help you scrapbook those special loved ones, I'm offering up two giveaways today! To enter for a chance to win, just comment here on the post! Comments will be open through 11:59 pm EST, Sunday, February 17. I'll select a random winner and announce next week!
Giveaway number one:
Giveaway number two:
And just in case you've missed the list, here it is in order, top to bottom, so you can be sure to check out all of the loveliness! There's also a great prize giveaway on the American Crafts blog, too!
