The 4th annual "Gothic Valentine Blog Hop 2021" main post!

 Welcome Creative Friends to

LeighSBDesigns' 4th annual

 

 

We are celebrating Valentine's Day in LeighSBDesigns style with our annual blog hop where we indulge in the darker side of love and romance and everyone is invited to play using any stamp company supplies and products🖤

 

This year the hop has a new name, Gothic Valentine, which better describes the darker feel and style of the hop.  Gothic Valentine conjures thoughts of dark romance, black lace, ruby red velvet, the seductive world of vampires, forbidden love, tragic love, monster love stories, the torment of broken hearts, betrayal and sorrow.  You get to interpret all of the above and create whatever your heart desires!

If you’re just joining us for the first time you’d be interested to know that our holiday of love has some very dark and sinister origins!  You can read all about it HERE!  

 

The Blog Hop linky party is below with the details on how to play and the Hop Rules!  This year's hop is for 4 days from Feb 13 to Feb 16 and the linky party opens today at 9am pacific and closes at 5 minutes 'til midnight pacific.  This is a progressive hop with new makes added to the linky party daily.  Click on each thumbnail in the linky and leave everyone lots of love as you hop along🖤  

Everyone is welcome to come and join the fun using any stamp company supplies and products.
