Now, enjoy this beautiful card from Ginny using Children's Hour. So gorgeous!
"This Lost in You Card created for the Petaloo~G45 blog hop was inspired by the gorgeous purply Petaloo flowers. They pair beautifully with the Children’s Hour Paper Collection. I knew I wanted to have one large focal image so I flipped through the paper pad and found the sweet Mother and child image on the February sheet and knew it was the one! Layered over the purple side of March Montage from the 8x8 paper pad it’s the perfect centerpiece for this garden of gorgeous blooms. There’s a bit of ribbon and twine to soften the edges and perfectly accented by very well altered chippies. I think through all the years I’ve been crafting with Graphic 45 products..this is my very favorite card." ~Ginny

To close out the day, we have a brilliant Valentine's Day layout from Arlene. Take it away, Arlene:
"I created this 12x12 “Love” layout of my husband and I using Graphic 45’s Children’s Hour paper collection. I love the little sentiments available on the papers “Our hearts are light, they sail with ease… Side by side in love’s fair breeze.” The February sheet from the 12x12 Calendar pad was the perfect background for this page and the Petaloo flowers matched perfectly!
Tip: Use the border strips from the design paper and dimensional foam to add an element of dimension and layer to your layout. This will naturally draw the eye to your photo. Cut-out images like the postage stamps to add another layer to accent your photo." ~Arlene
