Home Decor For Valentine's Day

Hi Everyone!  This is Jeri from Bug 'n Me Creations.  I am so beyond excited to be this week's Guest Designer.  I have a passion for papercrafting and I'm so happy to share it with you this week.  Since Valentine's Day is less than a month away all my projects this week will be Valentine themed.  I'm starting off the week with a home decor project.  Of course, if you're a scrapbooker this design could easily be translated into a scrapbook layout by placing a photo where I've used an image from A Child's Year.  I started this project in the upper right hand corner by making a rosette and placing a dimensional flower on it.  I cut my flower from the Cricut Lite Bloom cartridge.  It's the six petal flower in row four, key number 10.  I cut eight layers, starting at .75" and going up in .25" increments to 2.5".  I distressed the edges of each petal and curled the petals up before attaching the layers. 

Next I cut the LOVE banner.  For my banner I used another Cricut Lite cartridge, Sugar and Spice.  I'm very partial to scallops and this banner had the delicate scallop on the bottom.  My banner pieces are cut at 2".  I wanted feminine looking letters to place on my banner and again I went with a Cricut Lite cartridge, Lovely Floral.  I placed each letter on a scalloped oval which is also a Lovely Floral cut (first row, seventh key).  The ovals are cut at 1.5" and the letters at 1.25".  

My last Cricut cut on this project is the little girl with the dog tugging at her dress which was cut from A Child's Year at 3.25" and placed inside a frame cut from Elegant Edges.

You can find more of the details of my embellishments and products I used on my blog Bug 'n Me Creations.  I hope you'll come by and visit me and let me know what you thought of my project.  I'll be back tomorrow with some fun kid's valentines.  I can't leave without telling Miss Joy and Miss Melanie how grateful I am for the opportunity to share my projects on their blog.
