5. For 1 extra entry into the drawing, SPREAD THE NEWS!!! Just stop back to Jessica know how you did it...sidebar, blog post, FB share, etc.....(1 extra entry for each time you spread the news).
Now for my project....
Jessica asked us "Blends"....her super creative way of saying blogging friend...to find a project she had posted on her blog and use it for inspiration.
This banner is the one I have choosen.
I have made a baner in honor of the upcoming Valentine's Day...
I used Minimonograms and cut the squares at 5". I used Cuttin' Up to cut the letters at 4". I used 2 different Sizzix embossing folders on the letters and the red squares. The pattern paper is some I JUST LOVE (no pun intended) from DCWV stack I got called "Love and Wedding". The lil rosettes are from Walmart.
I hope you are enjoying this hop. Jessica is a wonderful person, crafter, fellow blogger and friend. I am so very happy to have met and became such close friends with her.
