Typography Valentines day art

I have seen a lot of typography art lately, and I am just loving it!!

I just love how rustic they look...  I knew I had to make one, and how can you go wrong with a Beatles song?!?!

(which by the way, this song has been stuck in my head ever since I have made this, everytime I see it, it gets re-stuck, oh well, at least it's a good song!)

Cupid Rosette Frame

I bought this piece of wood, and knew I wanted to do something "Valentines-ish" with it, just wasn't quite sure what...

Then I came across a cute picture of Cupid and knew what to do!

First,I painted the wood pink...

Then I made a bunch of Rosettes from this tutorial

Then, I cut Cupid out of a piece of vinyl to fit inside my frame of roses

I think it's perfect right next to my "Hugs & Kisses" Scentsy warmer!

Sweetheart Conversation Candies Topiary

I LOVE topiaries and could have them all over, and as much as I have seen the rose one and love them, I wanted something a little different....

Take a styrophoam ball, paint it a base color, because all of your hearts will not touch and you will need a color to hide the white.

Make sure you have a lot of candies, I did one ball and decided to add another, but only after I gave all my leftovers to the kids.  I had to wait to finish the project after I made a run to the store to get more, only to find out when I got home that they are thicker than the rest... Oh well, you can't see the back and most probably wouldn't notice anyway, but I do!

Glue, glue and glue some more!

I found that doing 2-3 at the most worked so that the glue didn't dry too fast.

Add some filling in the bottom and glue the stick in place, add decorative paper and you are done!! 

(I had to make sure I had it high, so that little fingers aren't tempted to nibble on any)

Valentine Rice Krispie Treats

When I saw these I just HAD to make them myself!

A classic treat with a little Valentine style:

First you mix your ingredients as usual...

Grease the pan so that you can easily mold each treat and have it slide out easily...



Remove each and insert stick, you may have to remold a couple as inserting the stick can deform them a tad bit...

Spread on some melted chocolate and add some sprinkles and you are done!



YUMMO!!

Valentines Day Plate

Just add some vinyl to  regular plate to Jazz it up a bit!

Valentines Day Banner

I have seen all these ADORABLE Valentines banners all over, and just had to make one for myself!!

SO I dug through my paper drawer and came across old work cards (that I knew I woud use someday) and sliced and diced

 Next, I dug through the scrapbook paper that I had on hand, and came up with these... I guess I could hace made a trip to Jo-Anns, but I didn't want to spend the money and I also wanted the banner done, um, NOW!

I cut the edges to add some interest to each piece and layered them and added some flowers and bling, afterall, who doesn't like bling?!

Then I measured how big I wanted the letters and cut them out in vinyl...

Tied each card together with ribbon, and added a bit between to jazz it up a bit, and then hung it up!
