PPPR Valentine's Day Blog Hop

Today is the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Valentine's Day Blog hop.  You should have arrived here from Melisa's blog.  If you didn't start from the beginning of the hop, feel free to head over to Lisa's blog so you can start the hop from the beginning.  Lisa is offering some great blog candy so you will not want to miss out!!  Each of the design team members is creating a project with Valentine's Day in mind and we are showcasing Lisa's wonderful cutting files, clipart and digital paper.  My project is a Batman Valentine.  This was designed with our former neighbor boy in mind.  He is 7 years old and he and my 10 year old daughter were the best of buds when they lived next door.  He is one of those boys who gets into something and becomes fixated on it for a year at a time.  It was dinosaurs, sharks, Star Wars and now it is Batman.  I used the Superhero Trio cutting files to cut our Batman.  I also used the Layered Labels 2 to create my sentiment. I did a print and cut for the actual sentiment because I did not own this saying in stamp form.  The hearts are from the Little Hoot cutting files. 



 I am going to let you in on a little secret.  Before I made the batman easel card I had originally made a batman shaped card.  Batman is supposed to be holding a garland of hearts.  However, after closer inspection of this card, I realized it actually looked a bit obscene, yikes!  So what is your opinion - do you think I should send the easel card or the shaped card to our neighbor boy?  I can't wait to read your comments!!


 Back to the blog hop - now it is time to head over to Barb's Blog to see what she has made.  Don't forget about the great blog candy.  For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog on our hop and leave a comment on each blog. For extra chances, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook and/or sign up for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Newsletter.


Here is the full  lineup for the hop in case you get "lost" along the way.

    I really do like both cards! The first one is my favorite and that is the one you should send. The second one doesn't look obscene, but it does look like he has a heart on his bottoms (reminds me of under-roos). Boys may not like that!

    Both cards are ADORABLE!! But I'm a BIG fan of shaped cards...maybe you can add some twine and a button to end of the twine. This might make it look more like a garland. ;P

    Thanks!

    Follower! Both cards are cute and not sure I would have caught that heart thing. You might be able to save the card if you can remove the hearts and move them to his boots? Maybe a small heart on the bat. Twine would make sure it looks like a garland! I am a follower :D
