VALENTINE'S DECOR AND GIFTS BLOG HOP


Hi and welcome to the Valentine's Décor and Gifts Blog Hop.

If you happened here by chance you're in luck! There will be 20 stops full of great ideas, so grab a beverage and head over to the hostess' blog. Staci's blog is at http://preciousmem.blogspot.com/. The sponsor for this hop is Designs on Cloud 9 at http://designsoncloud9.com/ and she has offered us a $20 gift voucher for the GRAND prize. Head over to her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Designs-on-Cloud-9/189551027737837 and show her some love. One lucky person who comments on this hop will be the winner of this generous prize. (One person from each stop will be chosen at random and we will then hold a random draw with those 20 people and one lucky person will win the grand prize

                    Ok, here is my project...a Valentine's Kissing Ball.
The roses are all made of paper!! I made them using the 'curly flowers' pattern set from Designs on Cloud 9. I just made a bunch of these beautiful flowers and hot glued them to a styrofoam ball. I also glued so ribbon to hang the ball as well as the pretty hearts on the bottom.
The hearts are also from a pattern used from Designs on Cloud 9 titled 'heart doiles'. I did make one of the hearts pink, but it is hard to tell with the bright sunshine.

                      I just love how pretty it all looks together.
Thank you so much for visiting. If you are new, please follow me here on my blog or on my fb fan page. Please feel free to leave me a comment or two, I love to read them. Now continue on with the hop, you are almost done ~ only two to go.

  3. Your kissing ball is beautiful! I wonder how long it would take me to make one? I would probably have to start off with a smaller one! ~ LOL

    Great job!

  4. Hi Tricia, these are really fun to make. This is actually the third one I have done. The first two were actually done with smaller roses and took me twice as long. They are just beautiful though. Good luck.

  6. Thank you so much Michele! I have done a total of three of these balls so far. They are super easy. A little time consuming, but still easy. Plus, it is a great way to use up all those little pieces of scrap paper that are laying around everywhere :)
