This week's challenge compliments of deelish:

Title - All you need is....

Love! You'd have to have been in seclusion to have missed the fact that this Sunday is Valentines Day. So, in the spirit of the occasion this week's challenge is all about love, not necessarily for love for your partner. It can be about children, pets, friends, or anything else in your life you love.

Points

10 points for including a song title or lyric with the word 'love' in it
10 points for including something red
10 points for having a heart somewhere in your design

Happy scrapping 

Let's lead off with Dan99 - first, his free butterfly template. Dan read that  The Holocaust Museum in Houston is planning a major exhibition in Spring 2012, to commemorate the 1.5 million children who died during the Holocaust and created this template.  The museum is still short of it's goal - read the rules and if you are so inclined make a butterfly, using Dan's or any other template that fits the specifications. And while you are there, grab is great COGS cut-file and the HATS as well (love that crown!)

Cute idea for a retirement card (but very adaptable to other occasions) by CraftFairy

Layouts: I liked agirlcalledbob's story, that she finally finished her proposal layout and it only took 3 years! and as it's February, it's a very fitting selection; love Samm's use of the Tim Holtz mask to make her title; not a layout but a tag by gosie, and it is stunning; love Shaulean's GOALS layout - so freestyle and I see something new everytime; and irboo's Woodland layout - I can only say WOW!

Not sure how I've missed them recently, but IACW has a nice Copic tutorial worth a look. Louise at Scrapbook Printables has some links to journaling cards worth following.  I have a quickie tutorial for adding a lace...well, I call it a tag pull, but you  tell me what you call it! Looking forward to seeing what MystikNat does with her up-cycle of last year's letterpress calendar !

I just love quirky fonts.  This one, Stick Letter , was created by scanning the images from a book.  It's old, but while the creator is a bit harsh, I think it has a certain one-of-a-kind appeal.  I can see it being used on a kids page or mini-book, quite effectively. The interview from that page is amusing too.

Scrapbook Update has an article declaring BANNERS as the big thing for 2010. Lots of links to explore.

Here is a pretty and unusual baby shower one by Candice Stringham

This article on the Kaiser Craft blog has a few examples with links.

Lots of garlands of all crafty kinds at Whip it up!

A really pretty one at sponsor Bubbly Funk

A simple round garlandand a traditional triangular one here .

Cute mini-bunting here

Not scrapbooking, but a nice "green" tip for recycling old jeans into bunting

UKSers have been making banners for a while now: Halloween one by cayliehotpants; one using a Maya Road album by countrycrafter; a layout using a banner by PollyFlinders

On another note, this candle wrapped with a garland is very sweet and a cute card snapped by WriteClickScrapbook at CHA

(A couple of places I know have banners seem to be down for maintenance - Google BANNER (but beware of banner headings for blogs overwhelming the results) or GARLAND or BUNTING for more and I wil update the entry later)
