The theme of our hop is LOVE!

For my creation I made a Lollipop Garden using an SVG file from SVG Cuts that was part of the "For My Valentine" kit.

For my little gift tag I used a sentiment from Stephanie's Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 which you can purchase here. This set has a great assortment of fun sentiments for lots of occasions!!!

Without further ado here is my project:

Before glueing the box that holds the lollipops together I added a square of florists foam for added stability and to poke the lollipops into, otherwise they wanted to flop over.

On the outer, horizontal fence rails, I used pop dots for dimension.

Along with the banner, XOXO and the little bird that came with the cut file I added a couple of border punched strips of patterned paper, my little tag, some twine and a button.

Supplies used: lollipop garden cut files from SVG Cuts; card stock - white, bue; patterned papers - Delight, Thrilled, Chirpy, Cloud Nine, Glad and Tickled Pink in Happy Go Lucky by Pebbles; twine - My Minds Eye; ribbon - American Crafts; border punch - EK Success; stamp from Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 by Whimsical Designs; ink - Tuxedo Black by Memento; button - Recollections; floral foam - Michaels; Pop Dots.
