Lovebug Scrapbooking's "INSPIRE US!" blog hop for February


Welcome to Lovebug Scrapbooking's "INSPIRE US!" blog hop!! Our blog hops take place on the last Saturday of every month. Thanks so much for joining us! If you just happened by this blog and didn't realize a blog hop was taking place, please go back to Lovebug Scrapbooking and start the Hop. You won't want to miss all the inspiration from our members....... or the prizes :-)

Our theme for February is "Leaps and Bounds". I did a layout on Spring Blooms. My girls love when the cherry blossoms bloom. When the blossoms start to fall off the trees, they call it their pink snow.


A Closer look at the butterfly:

 
Supplies Used: Making Memories PP, Bazzill CS, Basic Grey Doilies, American Crafts Thickers, Making Memories and Prima Flowers, Prima Bling Swirls, Heidi Swapp Bling - butterfly body, Kaisercraft Pearls - Flower centers, Autumn Leaves Stamp - butterfly, Technique Tuesday Stamp - dots, Cuttlebug Embossing folder - Swiss Dots, Brilliance Ink Graphite Black, Sky Blue and Orchid. 

To do the flower, stamp your image on Patterned paper and cut out. For the butterfly I scored down the middle and adhered it to the other butterfly image with glue. I ran the flower through my big shot using the Cuttlebug embossing folder. I adhered the butterfly to the flower using foam tape, to give it more dimension. This gives you an idea of how to use your stamps on a scrapbook page,but would work for a card as well.

If you leave a comment and since Oscars are around the corner, let me know what your favorite movie was this past year was, and I'll enter you into a special RAK from me. If you become a follower of my blog, you will get another entry into my draw.  This blog hop will run from today, February 27th until March 2nd. We will be drawing for winners on March 3rd.

Follow along in our blog hop! Your next stop is Jackie.

That butterfly is amazing!!! As for a movie, I haven't really gotten a chance to see too many this year, but I did sneak in a viewing of the Time Traveller's Wife and wow that was an amazing movie. I absolutely loved it!

The paper is perfect for the story you're telling. Love your embossed flower and the layrered butterfly.

I don't go to a lot of movies but I did see both District 9 (much to violent for me) and Julie & Julia. So I guess I'd have to say my favorite was Julie & Julia. A good movie but I'm not sure I'd call it great. Gail D

Oh yes, I also meant to say - I love the background on your blog. Gail D.
