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.
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).

Your layout is very beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. I plan on following everyone today. There is so much inspiration to be gained I couldnt help myself anyway. I now follow you too. My favorite paper company. Wow you mean I have to choose one. Well that's hard because I love so many of them from Graphic 45, DCWV, Teresa Collins, and the list goes on. There are so many wonderful ones out there. Im just going to have to choose one. so I pick DCWV right now.
Love your LO and blog. Now following. I like echo park.
I love Echo Park!
Love, love,love your layout!

Love the bow on the tag the best I think. The size of it is something I wouldn't have thought to even consider.
looks great, love the colors!
My favorite is momenta!
I LOVE the way you matted this beautiful photo! And my favorite paper company right now is Echo Park. They ALWAYS have an item that fits my needs, whatever they are!
Really lovely! Your stitching really works right in with the paper design and how you placed your flowers!
I'm really excited about all the new Bella Blvd releases, so I guess that'd be my favorite company, but I like lots of other individual lines within other companies, too! Thanks for the chance!
Oh i love it, and that picture is awesome , Caz:)
You are such an inspiration to us! Hands down my favorite company is My Mind's Eye. Loving all of their collections!
This LO is fantastic Cathy!
Cathy you layout is so pretty and is perfect for that gorgeous picture. I love your flowers and stitching. My all time favorite manufacturer is a tie between Basic Grey and My Minds Eye - depending on what kind of a mood I'm in and what I'm scrapping! I am a new follower! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Great job Cathy! I like how you turned it and wowzers that picture is gorgeous!
Hopping Around and I have became your new follower! I am eyeing the Authenique!
My (two) favorite companies are Authentique and My Mind's Eye. If Authentique had more lines and was more available, it would probably be #1. But, MME's variety keeps it tied with A.
I like the way you added the tags. my favorite is still basic grey
This is so beautiful! that photo is amazing!
Loving your layout! Thanks for sharing it! I"m a new follower to you! I think right now Authentique is my fav manufactuer! thanks for the chance!
I love how you turned the layout. I'm blog hopping and I'm a new follower. I am loving My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart line right now. It's just so pretty.
What an awesome photo and I love that you turned it sideways! Great take on layout and LOVE your work Cathy!

Kerri
