Good morning Friends,
I wanted to share my first project as a Creative Cutter Design Team Member.
Our challenge theme is Love Bug. Here is a view of my entire layout.
I created these adorable “Love Bug” bears for this layout.

Here is a close up of the boy bear love bug.

Here is a close up of the little girl bear love bug.
I added some stickled swirls to their wings and their hearts.

Here is a close up shot of the border and title.
- I inked the hearts and added some more stickles to the letters.
- I used pop dots to add dimension.
- I also “Faux” stitched a white zig zag stitch on the blue border.
- I did also add some wire swirls and tiny foam hearts. I wrote “My Sweet” in the middle of the tiny pink heart with my fuchsia fine tip sharpie.
- I used and EK Success border punch for the white heart and swirl punch.

Up for grabs is the timeless classic cartridge: JASMINE

All you have to do to enter to win this cartridge is
- Make a new project for the challenge
- Link it up to the Creative Cutter Room challenge post
- Leave a comment, on that post.
BONUS:
In honor of all the fun stuff happening at CCR,
Leave a comment on THIS POST and I will pick one lucky winner to receive the Bears as Love Bugs Mini collection cutting file set or digi stamp set that will be released soon.

ReplyDeleteMelinda:
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it!!! They are adorable...One of the things I miss most about FL is the scrapbooking talent!! and by that I definetly mean your classes and kits! As I continue to unpack scrapbooking bins I am always smiling when I find another kit I bought but didn't have time to do. Recently I completed a ZOO one that everyone who has seen it here in Texas loves it! I am sending them all to your website.
Love ya, Leila
What a cute cute layout!!! Thanks for offering it as a prize.
