Practical Scrappers Link with Love Blog Hop!!

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).

Isn't Liz's layout amazing?? She has given us so many different things to be inspired by! I picked a number of things from it that inspired me, but let me show you my layout first:



And some detailed photos:





From Liz's layout, I loved the title and theme, bright colors on the white background, her handstitching, all the banners, and her bold layout border/frame. So those are the things I incorporated onto my layout. 

Now, remember to follow my blog for your chance to win the RAK from Practical Scrappers!! You have to follow all members to be eligible for the prize. 

I am also having a small RAK giveaway on my blog! 



All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me what inspires YOU from/about Liz's layout. That's it! This is open internationally...all can play along!!  Leave me a comment, and I will announce the winner on Tuesday!

Thanks so much for any comments you may leave, and have fun with the rest of the hop!! Your next stop is at Cathy's BLOG...   :)



(For this layout, I used: MME Limetwist, AC Thickers, Jenni Bowlin chipboard banners, the twinery twine, buttons, gemstones, embroidery floss)
