This is my 8x8 layout for the Stamping in Time Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. The challenge this rotation is "All about Love!" Well, I decided to go a completely different route with this "love" theme. I have a fascination with alligators. When we go home to South Carolina, I see them almost every day, and I tend to get a bit TOO close to them. This particular alligator was hissing at me because I got too close. See how is mouth is open? Eeek! Anyway, the family gets quite upset with me. So, the title on my 8x8 layout is "Is it Love?"
To create the 'love' heart, I used a scripture stamp from the ODBD set called "Love One Another." I inked up the word 'love', and stamped it multiple times on my paper. I then cut it out and adhered it to my piece of chipboard. I did the same thing with the 'love' banner at the top of my page. I then used a scripture from the new ODBD set called "Faith" because alligators are beautiful in their own way. I also meshed two sketches for this layout--SBSC270B and CPCST93. Thanks for looking, and for more details and close-up photos, please my post here. Thanks for looking!
