Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Valentine Flip Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! Oh did I have fun with the theme for this week. We all used a stamp set or bundle that is not intended for Valentine’s and flipped the project for Valentines. Within minutes of sitting down in my stamp room to create, this idea was born:

I was working on swap cards for another team I am on and just seeing the tools from the Trusty Tools Bundle made me do this! I took the tools and spelled the word LOVE with them. I think that’s pretty neat, do you?

I also love the sentiment I found with the Perennial Postage stamp set. The word measure reminds me of the measuring tape that I used on one of the images and of course the word love for Valentines. Here are the details:
