Hearts, Hearts, Hearts...

Love is the best medicine, and there is more than enough to go around once you open your heart. -Julie Marie
Everywhere, Hearts! :) I am so excited everytime I get a box from Say it with Letters, I never know what kind of delicious stuff might be inside, I LOVE altering shapes and letters and *stuff* so when I see that box I get all giddy and jumpy. This month I opened it up to find a Gorgeous scalloped heart and a little swooshy heart ornament...LOVED them Both!!!! I knew Right away I was going to break out the My Mind's Eye Be*Loved papers for these...

For the little hanging ornament I covered it with the lightest paper with the flower/heart swirl pattern on it (Dearest Dots.) I embellished the paper with some stardust stickles, added a ribbon hanger, some vintage buttons, Bling and a little die cut from the Be*Loved Paper Pack.
Here is a cloe up of the heart...

For the gorgeous Scalloped Heart I used the darker coordinating piece of patterned paper for the heart itself and then lined the frame with the lighter piece. More buttons went on each scallop, with more bling on top, then I covered a little chipboard swirl with the matching Beautiful Branches paper and covered it with Stardust Stickles, some layered Prima Flowers and yet another button and bling. I think I will wait and see who this will go to and then add their name to the inner paper...

Some detail shots of the swirl and buttons... Thanks for stopping by, come back tomorrow to see what I came up with for this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge, if you would like to play along link your creation to Mr Linky on the Challenge Post HERE.
