Challenge #173 - Circles

Feb 16, 2015.  Hi all, it's my turn to present the challenge and I have chosen circles.  So many ways to use them and a million things to do with them!  I've got punches, die cuts, and wooden sequins on my page, and there are so many more possibilities!  The rest of the Use Your Stuff  DT has risen to the challenge and inspired you below....
Use the linky below to show us what you'd do with circles!

Challenge #172 - Love theme

Hi, Majo here! 

I'm excited to be hosting my 1st challenge for this wonderful team!

Let's start off with a little love in February :) 

It does not have to be the romantic love necessarily, could be the love for your pet, some special food, love for crafting! Your imagination is the limit.

I  have a lot of love for my best buddies, Emma and Cookie, so I created this burlap canvas to hang in my studio :)

 Come play along and share at the inlinkz below. Have fun!

Michelle Looi
 I used a 'loud' print MME paper stack with Love theme for this creation. I presume this could fit for a bestie? :D

Amanda
 I made this cute little card for my son to give to one of his friends for Valentine's Day.

Karrie

"To Know You is to Love You"

Lori
 I made this card for my husband for Valentine's Day.

Shirley  

A little box card full of love - perfect for many occasions! Valentines Day or an Anniversary. 

Tammy

I created this double easel card in my Stampin Up card class!
