A Valentine Blog Hop!
Have you been bitten by the love bug yet? If not, it won’t be long! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and our Content Contributors have put together yet another smashing blog hop to inspire creations just in time for the day that celebrates love like no other.
Before we send you hopping along your way, we thought we’d share a quick, fun way to wrap some sweet little Valentines (shown above). Simply wrap them with your favorite scrapbook paper (we chose the Watercolor Love Paper Pack), then add some fun bling using trimmed decor from the sheet of decorative panels in the paper pack, or from the Watercolor Love Embellishments (complete with sparkly heart-shaped bling -yum!).
As you hop along the blogs today, soak up the sweet ideas. Then, pop on back here and leave us a comment on what Valentine’s projects you’ve got up your sleeve after the inspiration you find along the way. You could win this Watercolor Love Prize Pack, including the 12×12 Fuchsia Watercolor Album Cover, Watercolor Paper Pack and Watercolor Love Embellishments:
Here’s the order for the hop – you’ll start with Sarah and go on from there. Happy Hopping! <3

I love all the blogs. Great ideas, ladies!
Fun ideas! Especially liked the treat pocket on the final blog!
I have a crop coming up in two weeks and I think I’m going to make those cute heart pockets from Noreen’s blog for part of their gift. And I absolutely LOVED Lisa’s layout with the fall wood grained paper behind it. And how clever those little envelopes made out of a square! Definitely will be using that idea soon. Can’t wait for the Virtual crop this Saturday!
I love the cards! Fabulous ideas as usual!
Border’s and bee by Candace are SUPER CUTE! THX!
I don’t do Valentines day but there was some cute ideals! The hearts that you could put some candy in I think liked the best. Love all the ideals people have been sharing can’t wait for my next crop to show off the things. Thank you all
Hard to choose a favorite idea – the bee, the 3D hearts, the pockets, the borders. And the paper is gorgeous. Thanks for the hop!
I love the bee and the little envelopes! So cute!! Great ideas ladies!
Love all the blogs. I got some great ideas now. And the heart template is awesome. Thanks ladies!
As always, y’all have inspired me! I loved all the ideas, and I’ll be “scraplifting” them to share at my crop on Saturday. Thanks so much, I’m off to my scrapbooking room!

Heart Pockets Heart Pockets Heart Pockets!!!
Love all the ideas and enjoyed the Blog Hop…love the inspiration it gives us.
I love the great ideas used in each of these blogs. I will definitely be using the envelope idea soon! I also loved the cute boarders made with this paper. I need valentines for my daughter to hand out to her classmates, I think I’m going to steam Noreen’s idea and make these this year to pass out! Thanks for the wonderful ideas! You ladies are awesome!
I am in love with all of it. Thanks for the ideas, your true passion shows thru
I absolutely loved the ideas on the blog hop. I especially love the treat pouch idea. What a very creative bunch. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas.
Just LOVED Candace Bouldin’s ‘bee’ & Noreen Smith’s borders. Thank you to all for the great ideas!
I am not a “pink person”, but I do love the Watercolor Love Collection! My favorite was Diana Brinsley’s layout. Beautiful use of the paper and the filmstrip border maker (my favorite!). Great ideas from ALL the contributors!
I can’t wait to make Valentines with some of my Watercolor Love paper!
I love the layering that Sarah did with the hearts. Borders are something I love to do, but never really considered multi layering on the borders like Candace did. On Julie’s, I loved the hearts strung together. Haven’t seen the movie reel tape before like Diana did. The envelope idea for depth (and even holding something if you wanted) that Lisa did was fantastic (have to steal that one). Fran’s idea of using borders to separate photos is another one I definitely have to use. Noreen’s blog will now have me looking to purchase one of the heart CM’s from someone!!! Now, to find a crop going on in my area I can get in on to utilize some of these.
Amazing ideas from everyone! I know my scrappers are going to love them too! I plan to make Noreen’s heart pockets for favors!
Love Fran’s ideas for the layouts. Inspired me for pages
I love all the ideas shared on each blog. I especially like Sarah’s 2nd & 3rd cards. The bee was very cute and the lips were a great idea! Keep up the good work ladies.
I especially enjoyed Fran’s blog ideas on how to use the paper pack etc not just for romance and Valentine’s Day but for all the other “loves” we have in life. Great job at all the blog stops!!
Great ideas. I especially liked the layouts posted by Lisa and Fran because it really shows some out-of-the-box thinking. I like having multiple uses for the papers and the masculine styles still fit in with the “girly” pinks. Great job ladies!
I love all the creative spins using our tools. I like ideas that can be recreated over and over just by changing the paper you use. I would love to have this new album I would like to make an album with the pictures of me and my sweet valentine(my sweet husband). We have 4 kids and they tend to be the stars in their books and we are just additions. I would like a book that is just us.
The mini envelope embellishments by Lisa are so adorable! Definitely need to “scraplift” that! I also loved the heart pockets idea for gift giving from Noreen. I know a few little cuties that would appreciate them. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Thanks for sharing all of the cool ideas! I love these blog hops! I would love for you to do another virtual crop! That was so fun!
Theresa yay – we love them too! And even better news for you, we are doing another virtual crop this Saturday, February 6th with even MORE fun ideas and chances to win!
I love the heart pockets on the last blog stop. Looking forward to making those with my kids this weekend for their Valentines for their friends at school!
For sure I am making Noreen’s heart pockets! Love it! Everyone presented very creative ideas. :)
There’s just something so fun about Valentines Day! Loved all the great and different ideas shown on the blog hop!
Fabulous job, Ladies!!! I love Lisa’s Sweetheart Envelope Border and Noreen’s heart pockets!!! Awesome!!!
Great ideas ladies! Love Lisa’s page layout and all the embellishments.
Lots of great ideas from very creative ladies. I really liked Lisa’s layout that “masculinized” (is that a word?) the use of Watercolor Love paper with the wood grain paper. I have a son and rarely get to use “girly” colors in my layouts. I need to work harder at doing what Lisa did.
Lots of great ideas from your very creative contributors. Can’t wait to get started on these projects. Thanks and Happy Valentine’s Day!
I loved the mini envelopes in Lisa’s blog. They make a cute border! Can’t wait to scrapbook my valentine pictures with all the new products.
Loved all the blogs and so many ideas. Couldn’t even begin to say which one I liked more.
Amazing ideas…..I will be using and sharing these ideas at with the girls who are virtual cropping with me on Sat! Thanks! Nice job….
I like that you have a print button. But can you please make it possible to print the post and NOT all the comments? No bad feelings to the commenters, but this is a waste of ink and paper.
Hard to pick just one but I do like Fran’s Christmas pictures with the Valentine paper.
I loved all the ideas! So many fun things to try. Since my birthday is on Valentine’s Day, I of course love it; but it was great to see other ways to use the products also! Loved the mini envelopes and the bee! So cute! Thanks ladies for all your creative ideas!
this was my first blog hop – loved it! fantastic Ideas. I can’t wait to share them with my customers! <3
Very cute paper pack and very cute Valentine ideas!!
Thx, I’ll be using some of the card ideas at our Superbowl party scrapbooking gathering, while others watch the game.
Inspired to create Valentine’s for all of my elderly relatives. Breaking out my shape maker to try my hand at those mini envelopes.
I love the borders the most because they can be used for any “love” page, not just Valentine’s Day. My Watercolor love products are being delivered today and I can hardly wait to use these great ideas on the blog hop!
Can’t wait to use the Watercolor Love Embellishments to sweeten up the Valentines I am sending!! Great Products!!
So beautiful! Love love love. ..
I love the new products and all the fabulous ideas!!! ??
Fresh, fun ideas! I am hosting my very own Sweet Crop on Saturday and Candace’s
Borders and Noreen’s Heart Pockets will make great Make-n-Takes!
Every February hearts are my favor coversets with CM so many ways to use them and ideas in the past and now I look forward to a new one. Showers weddings birthdays even baby (chocolate loveable) dad and daughter dance proms.
Keep a new one coming every year. Just love love them.
