Welcome to the hop, we are so glad you have come to hop and see all the creative projects from a great bunch of people. Some of the blogs are offering blog candy, and some are not. At the end of my post I will be offering Candy.
So let us begin:
My project is a layout I made to show the picture when my husband and I were dating and the picture of us after 26 years together. I have not attached the pictures yet, but you will figure out where the pictures go.
French Manor
Sweethearts
Reminisce Accents
The cuts are as follows:
French Manor:
Couch - 4.25"
Mirrors (picture mats) - 6.75"
Table - 3.5"
Bird Cage - 3"
Grandfather Clock - 9"
Top Border (these were welded together in Design Studio) - 1" with every other being flipped.
Sweethearts:
Man and Woman - at 7"
Reminisce Accent: (All the word were welded using Design Studio)
each letter was at 2" all letters were welded except T, L, N, and F.
True
Love
Now
and
Forever
The paper pack that was used was from "Three Bugs in a Rug" the "Happy BirD-Day" line.
The backgrounds were the reverse side of "Little Bird" and the reverse side of "Pin-Wheel. The couch was cut from "Blush". All the cardstock and shimmer paper is from "DCWV".
The ribbon is "CTMH" retired "Shell Pink".
I use "Versa Magic" chalk ink in "Gingerbread" to ink the edges. I also used a "Signo" white gel pen for the stitch marks.
Hope you enjoy the hop. Here is a list of all the blogs in order that you will be visiting. If you get lost, come back here and click on the blue link of that blog and you will be taken to thier blog.

Ok the Blog Candy. I am offering the Sesame Street Seasons Cartridge to one lucky winner. This cart has never been used and does have the 100 reward points available inside the box. Sorry it is open, but it is the only way to keep my DH in the dark. LOL To win you need to be a follower and have left a comment here. I will do random.org on Monday to pick the winner. Good luck

Thank you for the fun hop and sharing your project with us... I think it is hillarious what we do to hide stuff from our loved ones... my mom always made a joke that you need to carry a red permatant marker with you when you shop so you can slash prices on your way home... silly I know but I thought you might get a kick out of it! pjritsema at gmail dot com
