My favorite set is Owl See You in the Spring! 
That's where you will find this little one!

Taken a couple years back of the kiddos...but still love the picture so much.  Clean and simple...what a shock for me!

But actually, I am quite pleased with it.  Looks a bit blurry here, but if you click on it, it is crisp!

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.

Here is my take on the sketch!

Link With Love


Liz's Sketch


I loved Liz's Sketch...I turned it on the side and put my photo up top and added my string of flowers, on the bottom.  I love how she hand stitched her's, so I thought I would give it a try.  Love the look!  Also added a few tags to the side!  The gorgeous paper from MME's Miss Caroline already had the frame like her sketch...it all came together perfectly!

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).

One Story Down...Girl vs. Scrap

Here's the Challenge!

And here is my take!

Love this photo of Kelly & Jay with Kelly's baby..her super fun green Jeep.

I didn't want the layout to be super green for St. Patrick's Day and all that...but it had have green for the challenge...so here and there you will find bits of green.  

Luck Schmuck...these two were meant to be together!
