Welcome to Paper Crafting World and Cooking With Cricut's Love Song Blog Hop! Our Designers have been cooking up some Valentine's projects for their loved ones. Of course our love projects are inspired by our favorite love songs! If you have come from the creatively talented Yolie at Just Yolie, you are in the right place! If you just happened on my blog, let me encourage you to start from the beginning...you don't want to miss a thing! <---hey that's a song!! ;) Click here to start from the beginning with Melin at Paper Crafting World's Cooking With Cricut!
Okay okay...now for the good stuff!! A little bit a background on my "loooove" song ;) I am REALLY gonna date myself, but that's ok. My husband swept me off my feet! he was the most thoughtful man I had EVER met! As we dated we thought...hey we don't have a song. (for you younger ones, it was official to have a song) SO we were thinking. We liked so many songs. Seriously, in the age of Bon Jovi and all the other long hair bands that really sang a lot of ballads having a song was hard to pick. But we found one! It was Mr. Big's "To Be With You" I have to admit, I don't listen to that kind of music anymore, but there are a lot of songs that go hand in hand with memories my husband and I share. Good memories that we still look back on and laugh!! I LOVE the memories and I love my husband even more!! (we celebrate our TWENTIETH anniversary this year!!)
A BANNER!!
A couple in love :)
Close up of the letters.
I have to say, the Dollar Store was definitely my go to place for the essentials! I bought the "string" (it's actually clothes line) and the background is actually a pack of treat bags from the dollar store. I painted some clothes pins pink and used that to hold my banner!
The treat bags are going to have love notes written and placed in there for him to open and read!
To make this I used:
Carts ~ A Child's Year for the monogram and lettering; Sweetheart's for the couple
Gypsy to size
Paper ~ DCWV
Ink ~ Memento rose around the edges of the doilies
