Valentine's Day is the theme, anything goes.  After thinking about a project to make, I decided my house was lacking in the Valentines Day decoration department.  I came up with a very girly, very 'blingy' Valentines Day Banner (or some people call them bunting?).

A few things about this project:
1) All the pattern paper I used in this project I designed (yay me!)
2) I have a giveaway posted at the end of this blog post
3) I will be sharing this file with all of my wonderful followers (gotta love it when someone does the work for ya right? :)
4)  I used Cindy Lou (for the font), Hannah Montana (for the hearts) and Tie the Knot(triangles) for this project.  If you don't have Hannah Montana feel free to delete those hearts, and substitute hearts you do have on your gypsy.

And away we go!

I started off by getting all my paper out and placed on my mats.  I used 12x12 mats for this project.

Once cut out I laid everything out to see how it all looked before I started gluing (a very hard lesson to learn, it took me some time lol).


Everything looked great, so I glued my scallop borders onto my base triangles.

Next I ran the letters through my cuttlebug machine, I used the swiss dots folder

This project sort of evolved and grew as I went along.  I found the letters to be sort of 'blah' and didn't really pop enough.  Out came my pop dots lol!!

I still found them 'blah' and I love glittery sparkly thingies, plus my rhinestones and Irock wanted to come out and play.   How could I say no?   I would NEVER have attempted gluing down all those by hand - my Irock is the bomb!! Took me 10 minutes to do all the letters (I just used the dots from the embossing as my template).
I forgot to take a pic, but at this point I got some red paper and some of my patterned paper, popped it into in the cricut and cut out 6 hearts really quick (3 full hearts and 3 with a cutout). The pic below shows how I glued the red heart down (after I ran it through the cuttlebug first).  Then I folded the other heart in half and glued it along the spine.   I held it in place for a little bit and it voila - instant dimension :)

Got my Cropodile out and punched some holes in each corner so I can thread these and hang them up later :)

What's this?!?!  'blah' hearts?  no way!!....get the Irock!!  
p.s.  TULIP  rhinestones (found in Walmart) work fabulously (is that a word?) with the Irock and at a fraction of the price!  I found I just needed to hold it a touch longer - does anyone else like the smell it makes when you're melting the glue?  or am I just weird? :)

Next up was to string all my pretty triangles up on some metallic cording.  Then I dug through my ribbon ball (notice I didn't say extremely organized ribbon box?) and snipped away.  Then I just tied, and tied, and fluffed and fluffed until the ribbon looked ok.

And here it is hung up and looking so festive :)  Mini Magoo just loves it and wants these EVERYWHERE in the house.....oh my, I've created a monster :)










There you have it folks!!  Thank you so much for stopping by :)  

Don't be shy!! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think (I really do want to know, I'm curious and nosy like that)

Now, your next stop will be at:  Scrappin' My Stress Away

Wait!!  If you've just happened to stop by today and aren't yet participating in the blog hop this weekend - Jump right on over to where it all starts ---*  217 Creations  *--- there are some fantastic giveaways, gorgeous projects and lots of fun to be had!

As promised, a link to where you can download the Be Mine Valentine Garland.  **Important** this file will arrive in a COMPRESSED (zip) format.  This is a new method of delivering my files to you, it became necessary to include my copyright and terms of use within the download.  Once you've decompressed the file you will have 2 documents.  Please read the Terms of use document - just use your wordpad or text editor(for mac users).  You will also find the .gypsy file in there too :)  enjoy!


Still here?  GOOD!!  Were you paying attention?  If so you should be looking for a giveaway..... :) :)

How does the cricut cartridge
sound?  Pretty good?  ho hum? Blah?   Well............

How about I also include the digital patterned papers I used in this project?
One of a kind, never seen before patterned paper designed in 8.5x11 so you don't need a special printer in order to use it!  

I've designed 5 special co-coordinating papers (plus for those digi scrappers out there I'll put in an extra little surprise for use in Photoshop and Elements) just for this blog hop!

Just be sure to leave me a comment and how I can reach you - of course followers are ALWAYS welcome :)   GOOD LUCK!!!
