Months and months (and months) ago, I was looking through pictures on facebook from my favorite antique spot. (A spot that is sadly too far away to frequent now that we have moved.) At any rate, there was a picture of something with this quote by Samuel Lover on it, and I absolutely loved it, and I knew I needed to do something with it.
I've had about 22.6 ideas, but this is what I ended up with.
Some of the ideas I had were grand, and some were simple. But I'm glad I went the simple route. I am a simple person, after all.
As with everything I do, I started with a specific idea in mind, and it kind of morphed as I went along and realized what would work and what wouldn't.
I started out with two colors of red scrapbook paper, and I went old school elementary school and weaved them together. I was going to cut the words out of that, but it was really hard to get the craft knife through the two layers of scrapbook paper, so on to the next idea.... I just cut the words out on plain white paper and put it over the weaved scrapbook paper.
I'm happy with how it turned out, with the two colors showing through. And in spite of my lack of skills using the craft knife, I guess I like that it looks like a 3rd grader wrote it :)
If my calculations are correct, I only have two more things to do, and then my Wall o' Looooove will be ready for display! So at the rate I've been going, I should be good to go in about 4 months.

I can't wait to see the finished result! Is that quote "come live.." from a song, or where did you get that?
I like!
I love this frame! The quote is great :) cant wait to see the wall!
So creative. I totally thought it was just a print with a funky font when I fist saw it. Wove to papers together and cut out the words. Oh my. YOU are amazing! Can't wait to see the whole wall.
