Welcome to DAY SIX of our
VALENTINES BLOG HOP with Graphic 45!!
All this week we will be creating Valentines Day cards, layouts, home decor projects and so much more featuring "Children's Hour" paper and embellishments from Graphic 45 along with coordinating BOTANICA flowers, berries and trims from Petaloo!!
This sweet paper collection contains a different design for each month of the year! We had so much fun "playing" with the February paper for our Valentines Day theme! We hope you are inspired by our creations!!

Let's get the fun started with our Guest Designer and newest Petaloo Design Team Member ...
MAGGI HARDING
We are so thrilled to have Maggi join us for the Valentines Hop and to join us as a Petaloo DT member! Welcome Maggi :)
Hi, I am Maggi Harding and I am over the moon excited to be designing for Petaloo and to be using Graphic 45's Children's Hour for my first post, wow, what a lucky gal am I! Just ask me what my scrappy loves are and I will immediately respond Petaloo flowers and Graphic 45 papers, it just doesn't get any better!
So, first I'd like to share a Valentine's card with you that has a pull out tag there on the left with a crocheted lace bow on it. I started with a base card of cream cardstock and then added a layer of patterned paper from G45's June Montage sheet, next layer is the backside of an Ephemera card, then little cutouts from the G45 February collective sheet. Then the fun part, nestling all the beautiful Petaloo blooms! Two large Botanica blooms take center stage and they are nestled with some smaller Petaloos. (Complete supply list at the end.)
Here you can see the tag pulled out. I love the Petaloo crocheted lace, it tied into such a pretty little bow and matches so perfectly with the Graphic 45 papers.
Supplies:
Petaloo:
February Collective
June Montage
Ephemera Cards
Darice Graphic 45 Signature Series Lights Precious Pink
This next project is dedicated to my parents who taught me everything good about Love. They were married just one month shy of 72 years when my Dad passed. In this photo, they were teenagers in love, isn't it great how Dad has on a tie?
I kinda went wild with the fussy cutting on this layout! I cut flowers from Graphic 45's Children's Hour March, May and August Montage papers. Then I popped some gorgeous Petaloo Botanica and Vintage Dogwoods onto the layout to give my field of flowers lots of dimension. Petaloo and Graphic 45 just go so well together!
There's some crocheted lace trim peeking out there at the top.
Supplies:
March Montage
May Montage
August Montage
Epehmera Cards
Decorative Chipboard
Alphabet Stickers
Other - Bazzill French Vanilla Cardstock
And finally, a Valentine's tag that I made from a Graphic 45 Staples Large Tag Album. I trimmed around the tag and made a tie at the top from Petaloo's Fancy Trim.
In my scrappy world, nothing is complete until there are flowers blooming all over! I've used some pretty Botanica and Chantilly blooms on this card.
This is a Creative Embellishments dangle heart that I heat embossed with Stampendous ivory embossing enamel.
Supplies
Petaloo Products:
Botanica Mixed Textured Mini Blossoms x9 Apricot
