Love is in the Air blog hop!

Amber from Staying Crafty told me she was going to do a blog hop in honor of Samantha of Scrapmaster's Paradise, and how could I resist?  Samantha is newly married!!!  1-11-11!  Congrats Samantha!  So when you stop by her blog after mine, send your congrats to Samantha!
If you have come from Sea Steph's Creations, you are in the right place!  If not, you can start at the beginning of this blog hop with Staying Crafty cause you aern't going to want to miss a blog on this hop!  Lots of great inspiration and give aways!  And the grand prize of the hop is going to be 2 sets of your choice of the SP and Company stamps!  There is also a challenge at the beginning of the hop with Staying Crafty!  All of the blogs on the hop are listed at the bottom of this post!
When I saw the Artsy Heartsy Stamps so many fun things came to mind for me!  The first of course was to make a cut file with Make-the-Cut for the heart shapes so I could play around with them!  I have this file for free download here... Artsy Heartsy MTC file 
Come back tomorrow to see another project I've done with the Artsy Heartsy stamps and the MTC file!
I used the full heart page for this layout, and used the Chomas Creations engraving tip in place of the blade to engrave or etch onto a clear sheat of Grafix 12x12 plastic.  It is thin like a transparency. 

I then took the SP and Company Artsy Heatsy patterned stamps with StayzOn to randomly stamp inside some of the etched hearts.  Click on the picture to view it even better.

I added the plastic sheet on top of a white piece of cardstock, hiding the double sided adhesive behind my photo.  I then used Zip Dry to adhere the ribbon under my photo.  Zip Dry works fantastic with ribbon and you can't see it after it dries.  I used Make-the-Cut for the word "love" which I drew with my Wacom tablet and I will be sharing at a later date on my blog.  Click on the picture to view it even better.

I will admit to keeping scraps, all kinds of scraps, ribbon, paper, and now metal sheets of scraps.  That is how I made the hearts on my page, more details on the hearts are right below this blog post.  I used the Chomas Creations embossing kit on Ten Seconds Studio's metal sheet for these hearts.

Here is the completed page with my and my hubby!  Again click on the picture to see even more detail!
