Hi - Welcome back!
Are you enjoying the blog hop so far? This is a great way to start 2014! I LOVE being able to hop with this talented group of ladies, they constantly inspire me and push me to create my best.
I am so lucky to be following my fabulous friend - with the most amazing smile - the talented, Holly Van Dyne. If you haven't seen her project yet, go check it out or make sure you hop all the way around.
This week we decided it would be fun to create desktop or phone wallpapers. I usually just keep a family photo as my wallpaper, but this year I thought it would be great to create wallpapers for each month with a focus word of the month. Either things I am grateful for or want to focus on. It seemed fiting that FAMILY would be perfect for the start of the year.
I LOVE it! I am loving the watercolor look trend that is so hot right now. Gotta love that Stampin' Up!'s awesome MDS team has brought it to us! The background paper I used was from Watercolor Winter and the banner and FUN (aka my new fave) font from the Beautiful Today download. See the "LOVE" banner in the top corner? It's from the Top Notch woodcuts. I recolored it and I wanted it a little longer so that I could add the stitching, so I created 2 of them and cropped a rectangle from under the word LOVE so that I could extend it. Make sense?
I hope that maybe you will be inspired to create your own custom desktop or phone wallpapers. I have a few more I've created for one the upcoming Artisan Blog Hops, so I hope that you will come back and check those out.
Well, as if I wasn't lucky enough to follow one great friend, I get to go before one of the best-bestest-bestiest BFFs EVER - my outrageously talented and sweet friend Julie Davidse!!! Go check her out and tell her I said "Hi!" :)
Hope you have a great day!!!
