Amore Blog Hop


It's all about love for this Amore Hop.  February is all about hearts, candies and love.  Did you have a good Valentine's Day?  I know I did!  OK, if you are on track then you should be arriving from Lisa's  blog.   I have a few photo's so I'll get right to it. 

For my project I altered these wood letters, XOXO.  I thought about creating a BE MINE but I just kept holding the X's.  I am hooked on these letters!  I grabbed mine from Walmart, less than $5 a letter. 

I painted the white letters red and pink, then modge podged the letters with this Recollections paper.  I traced the letters on the paper first then cut it out. 

I added a lot of tags, embellishments and $1 Store goodies.  The tag in the back is a wood tag I got in a $2 Michaels bag and stamped it and inked it.  I layered another tag with TH Valentine paper and tied it off with this wee light.  The metal addition to the gear is a washer from Home Depot.  I stamped SMS Crazy For You sentiments throughout this project.

I made a small ornament with TH paper.  These wood letters are from Walmart and I added red glittler glue and mini jewel hearts

The domino's are scuffed and total 14.   The #2 tag I stamped and distressed.

These mini playing cards are a $1 store find and I stamped this calander.  I added some metal and another heart. 

This TH gear has a metal heart ornament attached with my tiny attacher and topped off with this TH stamped ticket.  To add more layers I stamped some cork and tied it off with some ribbon.

This project was my first attempt at crafting with wood letters.  Adding all the goodies was the best part!
