Valentine's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to the Valentine's Day Blog hop organized by Taylor Usry :>)  Today's the day to share a little extra LOVE.  Plus wouldn't it be great to have a chance to WIN prizes?!!! 
You should be arriving here from Kristi's Blog, Kristi's Creative Cafe.  If you stopped by to visit me, well then awwwww, you are just too sweet!  But if you want to get in on the blog hop you need to start at Taylor's blog HERE.  Prizes will be given out to random commentors on random blogs throughout the hop - the more blogs you visit and leave a little love, the greater your chances of winning a prize, and there are lots of prizes to be won!  You have until Thursday at 6:00 pm EST to leave a comment to be included in the prize draws.  Next up on the hop is Alison!  Check out the entire list of blogs below, along with a list of all the sponsors - fun, fun, fun!!!

I have a friend who got engaged toward the end of last year and I immediately picked up the Amber Ink "Love Bunny Proposal" Digi image.  Such a cutie and so fun with a little bling added in :>)  My card is based on Card Patterns sketch 101.  It is also for the Desert Islands Crafts Challenge blog - this is a new blog that started up and the challenge is to use 3 things from a designer's desert island itinerary - love the concept!  Well my card uses 5 things from this challenge's list:  piercing and stitching, a die cut, embossing, a copic colored image, and sparkle.
Have fun spreading the love and Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Smiles,
Julie

  35. Those bunnies are adorable. I'm falling in love with them every time I see them. Speaking of every time, piercing paper comes to mind when I see it on cards like yours (and you have done it perfectly at that). Do you use a sewing machine or piercing tool. I don't do piercing very often because it takes so long to go around all the edges.

  36. I love the 3 panels on the base of your card. They add just the right amount of interest without stealing the attention from the digi. tfs
