WELCOME TO THE SWEETHEARTS BLOG HOP!!!
If you happened to come visit me you're welcome to stay and visit, but you'll want to start with Georgiana @ Carson's Cricut Creations. If you did start at the beginning, then I'll bet you came here after visiting Carri @ Double Click Connections - AKA A Busy Bee. Isn't Carri AMAZING!!!! I love her work!!!! :)
I am so excited to be in this hop. I starting thinking about my Sweethearts (hubby and our two little ones); and what makes them/us so special. As my mind starting running (sometimes it's hard to keep up), I thought about the play on word images. For example "Read between the lines" has the word 'read' with a line on top and on the bottom. **Hmmmm, maybe I'm the only one that loves those.** :) Well, (extra) long story short, I came up with this idea. **Sorry about the picture, it is a very shiny plate.**
I started with a decorative plate. It was given to me as a gift; but I know that you can find them for a dollar or less at places like WalMart, or even a dollar store. Normally I would use white (or even cream colored) vinyl; but I do not own any and I don't have money in the budget for it right now (very strict budget). Instead I used paper and my other favorite item - MOD PODGE!!!
The letters are from the Birthday Cakes cartridge. I used my Gypsy to weld and slightly tip the letters in the word 'LOVE'. They were cut at 1. The word 'FAMILY' is from the same cart and cut at 1.75. The hearts are from Accent Essentials cut at 1.5.
Well, if you're still reading (WOW!) then here's what else you're looking for . . . CANDY!!!!!! Sorry, it's not a lot, but it sure could add to some cute Valentine's Day cards. :)
Now you're next stop is the wonderful and talented Libby @ Beach Creations. You'll love what she has in store for you (click here)!!!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
Here's the line-up (just in case):

First off there is nothing cheesy about your project. I LOVE it. I always find that the best projects are those that are inspired by something close to the heart, or something that has happened to us. Also, your candy is great..I am appreciative just for your project. I really LOVE your plate and would like to try this out. I am have never seen them before though, what color are they usually? As, always thanks for a great project, I just love your blog Celeste;)
