More Valentine's Crafting Cuteness......

  Okay, I am not the craftiest person in the world.  But I had so much fun "making" the artwork in these frames!  I even recruited my Husband for a little help!

  Remember my Salvation Army picture frames I got before Christmas for 65 cents?  

  I added my scripture and artwork for Christmas......

  I really liked the placement of them here in the foyer!  I still think I need to "dirty" them up a bit.........but that's a project for another day.


  Anyway......I got it in my head that I should change out the "artwork" in them seasonally.  My Mother, Daughter, and I went to Michaels over the weekend.  I bought a few different types of scrapbook paper, some stickers, and printed the rest from the computer!  


 Here are the during and after photos.

I don't have a craft room........just a shared office.  Cramped is an understatement. 

My hubby set up the "copy" and cut it out for me.  I am not the greatest at precision cuts but with his extensive print and press background he was JUST the man for the job.

I cut out the graphic hearts from internet art and scapbook paper.

I have been out of the scrapbooking loop for years!  Michaels  had the coolest stickers.

This is what was on the wall for Christmas.  Now it is stowed behind my Valentine "art"

Finished Product.  I am very pleased with myself.  :)

This was so much fun!  My best girlfriend suggested that we all get together and make Valentines for the girls to take to school instead of buying them..........Now I can't wait to do that too!!!  


  I think blogging and reading all the crafty blogs could be "dangerous"  :)

Valentine's Cuteness!

  Two Blog posts in one day!!??  Did I clean my Daughter's room you ask??  No.  No I did not.  I didn't do much today, but I DID decide to take pictures of my simple and thrifty Valentine's table.  I am linking up with Marty at A Stroll Through Life
 And Between Naps on the Porch

Today has been a very Linky day for me! :)  

   
 Anyway, you might remember the silver candle holders I found at the Goodwill.....Both of the center pieces I found at the Salvation Army.  I love the Cake plate, it is Red and Gold leafed and I just love it!!  


  The hearts came from Hobby Lobby, and the wreath I have had forever.....It is actually a garland that I wound into a wreath for this vignette.  

I LOVE sparkly things!! 

You can't tell in the photo....but the garland is kind of sparkly too!

Do you remember these candle sticks from my Goodwill finds?  I though they worked well on the Game table.  I like the red Candles for Valentine's Day!  Still needs something else though....

More Love.....greeting you at the doorway!

Inspired by The Soladay Family

I found these frames at Michaels for $2 each and I had a 20% off coupon!  The rest is scrapbook paper and stickers!  I put these together in a matter of minutes! 

A much outdated picture.  But it was from a Valentine's Day Banquet at our Church.  

  Today I am thankful for all the people that I LOVE!! 

Be Blessed!  <3 Paula
