Blogging Everyday in June - Day 15: Love...

I am playing catch up with my everyday blog posts! So let's continue with Day 15 of the challenge...

Craft something that celebrates Love

This is a scrapbook layout I did sometime last year, and I thought this would suit really well with today's challenge.

This is my best friend Bev and her lovely boyfriend Fro. They've been together for over three years and I went to school with Bev and both myself and Bev went to College together in London which is where we met Fro. They've always been a cute couple and with most of my friends you want them to be ridiculously happy, of which they are -massively! They're a great couple together and they're amazing people too! :)

So there's my very short post for today! Day 16 coming up...

Love is in the Air @ Pins HQ

Its not long until Valentine's Day so here's a love inspired picture for this week's Pinspirational Challenge:

Pretty simple inspiration this week, but it does say a lot and you can take inspiration from this and be creative inside and outside the box!

Here's my 'love inspired' card:

My caramel linen cardstock was used as a base, embossed with the Crafty Too You Hearts embossing folder. I layered a piece of paper from the Pink Paislee Vintage Market collection and tied a piece of thick parcel string around the bottom. The hearts behind the Greeting Farm are from our sponsor, and the Greeting Farm stamp is Sweet Anya. I rounded the corners of the card and added a border behind the sentiment which is the Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Lace Scallop. Simple but cute card!

Our sponsors this week are:

Team 1 - Eureka

Prize - 5 digis for the winner

Team 2 - The Pink Petal

Prize: 3 packages of ribbon to the winner

M for Megara

I love a little story, especially a Disney Story and I have a few favourites - Pocahontas, Mulan, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty... the list is pretty much endless, but one that has recently become my favourite is Disney's Hercules

So this fortnight at Aud Sentiments - we have been set 'The Storybook Challenge' picking out a few DT images of possibly our favourite leading characters from film, TV and books. So I chose the lovely Megara from Disney's Hercules, the feisty, sassy, beautiful, independent heroine from the cartoon film. So as our DT challenge we were asked to use our requested character and...

Create a card / project with a storybook theme. 

The sentiment (which should be included) will be either from a story or something that she / he might say

So here's my little creation:

The quote I used is actually from the film Hercules and I decorated this paper mache 'M' that I had lying around in my craft box! I thought that the 'M' was pretty apt for Megara and perfect for her - a little girly, feminine, but individual and unique - which I think fits with what Megara is like - especially when she falls in love with the lovely Hercules. She also has another quote in the movie, which has always struck a chord with me: 'People do crazy things...when they're in love' - which I know can happen and it's an awesome thing! (without giving it away, she saves Hercules in the movie!)...So I hope you like my little dedication to her!

So... I've created this scrapbook layout below:

This 12 x 12 layout is of my gorgeous best friend Beverley and her partner Fro. They've been together for two-and-a-half years and first met at college which myself, Bev and Fro attended together for two years from 2002 - 2004. I know feel slightly olllldddd now...

They have a loooonnnnggg love story of how they got together, but I won't bore you with that (Haha!) But I will say this - they don't say 'third time lucky' for no reason :) 'Finally' on the Pins image definitely describes them both! ;) Very apt!

So with many loved up people in the world, hey, I wanna see those awesome love-themed cards, projects or layouts and spread the love around. 'Cos at Pinspirational Challenges this week - Love is all around....
