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.
