Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog - Feel The Love

We love our scrappy friends and without you all we wouldn't be here! The Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog Design Team is proud to bring you our "Feel The Love" Blog Hop to tell you just how much we think of each and every one of you! We're being sponsored by the amazing AuroraWings! Come hop with us for a chance to win $15 in digital images of choice! How awesome is that?!

As you hop, leave a comment at every stop! The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win! A random winner will be selected from all the comments left on our designers' blogs!

For this hop I was given the beautiful image Flower Ballerina to work with.  I colored the image with my colored pencils.  

Here's the inside with a friendship quote from Unity Stamps.  I have friends over the internet that I have never met, but they are there.  Friends that live far away, that I see rarely, but they are there.  This sentiment seemed fitting.  I was told that the second regret when someone knows they are dying, they didn't keep up with their friends or keep their friendships alive....something to think about in a busy little world of today.


All of the LTSCB designers are creating FRIENDSHIP inspiration projects for our blog hop. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up a friendship project for an extra entry into the drawing!

Here is the line-up:

Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog We're Turning Two Hop

We're Turning Two!!

The Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog is turning TWO this month! To celebrate, we're excited to bring you our "We're Turning Two" Blog Hop! We're being sponsored byAuroraWings! Come hop with us for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the AuroraWings Etsy Shop!

As you hop, collect letters at each stop and be sure to leave each designer some love. Once you have collected all the letters, unscramble them and email your guess to ltscb@mail.com - then all the correct guesses will be entered into the drawing for the Aurora Wings gift certificate!

All of the LTSCB designers are using 'two of something' on our inspiration projects. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up a project using 'two of something' for an EXTRA entry into the drawing! **Be sure to use the same email address to email your guess and to link up your project so we can make sure you're given two entries into the drawing!**

For this blog hop I got to use the image Marie Antoinette Big Hair.  I decided to make 2 projects since we are turning two.

My first project is a tag.  I used 2 die-cuts, 2 pearls, 2 shades of blue paper, 2 ribbons, and the lace only has 2 scallops.  Because the image was so small, it was hard for me to watercolor it first, so it's just regular color pencils.

Of course Marie Antoinette needed a crown and some feathers.

I sponged some ink around the image.  Some Liquid Pearls were applied on her pearls with a toothpick and a very steady hand.  There is a lot of detail in this small image!

For my second project I made a gift bag, complete with a crown topper.  This image was colored with water color and regular color pencils.  My twos are 2 charms (crown and the cupcake on top), 2 layers of 2 different pieces of lace, 2 pearls, 2 shades of blue paper and the number 2.

Here's the cupcake charm on top.

Just like the tag, I applied Liquid Pearls to her pearls.  If this counts, I used 2 different colors of Liquid Pearls; silver and gold.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

My letters are N and A.
