Welcome to the Lots of Love blog hop! This is your stop after visiting Momo from Made by Momo. If not, you can start the blog hop with Kimi and Pamela from Lovebug Creations. There are lots of talented ladies so you don't want to miss any of their projects! Below is a list of all the participants just in case you get lost along the way:
Zeni from Scrappy Zeni (You are here)
Madison from Funky Cards (Next)
I want to first of all thank Kimi and Pam for inviting me to participate in this blog hop and to Michelle for introducing them to me. This was a start of a great facebook friendship and it hope it stays that ways!!!
For this blog hop I have two projects to share with you all. One is actually something I made as a Christmas present, but I thought it was so pretty that I wanted to include it. This is a shadowbox that I made for my best friend and her husband. I love making shadow boxes! I think they make such a great gift and add a little something to a layout. I used the tags, bags, boxes and more cartridge for the tag, tie the knot cartridge for the "love" written on the tag and accent essentials for the frame. I purposely didn't glue the top of the frame so that she can slide her favorite picture inside the frame and change it whenever she wanted.

I also made this love coupon book for my husband.
Isn't the cover so cute!!! I love the little couple holding hands! If you enlarge the picture, you can see that I used perfect pearls mist for most of the cuts to add a little shimmery look. I also used Peachy Keen Stamps for their faces (everyday character faces and princess faces).
I went a little different with this one and used my Creative Memories Story Book Creator 3 software. I find that using the digital pages for the coupons is a little easier and gives it a little more of a professional look. I took pictures separately for the pages so that you can see the types of coupons I used, but binded them together with my YourStory Photo. I love doing little books, so this tool is perfect for me!
I tried to give him coupons for things that he would really like. He normally does the laundry in the house because my weekends are tied up with the girls' cheerleading, so I figured I would include that one to give him a break. LOL! :) and he loves to go fishing and golfing, so I'm sure he won't have a problem using any of these. The get out of trouble free does have restrictions though! :)
Now for some blog candy!! I know you all can use a small album in some way, so I'm giving away a Creative Memories picfolio album with a set of journaling and mat papers to one lucky winner.
All you have to do is be a follower of my blog and leave a comment telling me of your favorite valentine's memory. For an extra entry, you can grab my button for your blog. Just be sure to leave a separate comment for that with your blog address so that I can follow you too! I will pick a winner on Monday February 7th. Now hop on over to Madison from Funky Cards. I Hope you guys have a great hopping day and a wonderful upcoming Valentine's day! God bless!!
