Welcome
to the Practical Scrappers "Linking with Love" Blog Hop! We believe it
is important to always give credit when it is due to another crafter.
For this unique hop all of our design team members used the same
inspiration piece to create their project. Each of them will make an
example of themselves as to how to properly "Link with Love" and credit
the inspiration. We'll be running the hop thru Noon EST on Sunday - so
you have plenty of time to get thru it!
Liz Qualman
created this beautiful layout and we have all used it for inspiration.
Each of us will tell what part we took our inspiration from. The whole
hop will culminate at Liz's blog where she'll provide us with a new
sketch for inspiration.
Many
of the designers are providing prizes at their stop and Practical
Scrappers is providing a prize for one person who becomes a follower at
each stop (for all the details head over to Practical Scrappers).
