14 Days of Love, Day 11

Day 11....2.5 days until Valentine's Day.  YIKES!  I added a little Valentine Charm to my Entryway.  I'm excited that I may be able to transition this into Easter just by changing a few items! 
~The heart garland I made from magazines. I have so many magazines, I hate to throw them away, so I find useful ways to use them.  At Christmas, I used them to make gift bows. I found a great tutorial here at How About Orange. 
~The topiary is a Cupcake Liner Ball...just Google cupcake liner ball and you are guaranteed to find just what you want.  I look through the listed images when I am searching for a "how to".
~The pink flower ball is just what you are assuming...flowers hot glued to a Styrofoam ball. ~For the framed artwork, I used scrapbook paper and glued some decorative hearts to it, put it in a frame and called it art!

Valentine Roundup - Simple and Quick!

As Valentine approaches, I find myself asking what happened to all those grand ideas I had to make this or that.  Time flies doesn't it?  Since its the weekend, I thought I would roundup a few of my favorite Simple and Quick ideas that I will be pulling together for my loves. 


IPhone Valentine.... download and print here.  Cut out and glue to box of Candy Hearts.  Done.  I did say Quick!   Living Locurto always has the perfect thing!
 



I love how easy these cute Heartbreaker Valentines are.  You will too once you check out the tutorial here...if you can print, cut, and staple, you can do these!  I like simple...I LOVE quick!


Don't let the picture scare you!  Remember, I said I like simple (aka easy) and quick. With a a little ribbon, gumballs, and a needle, you can make this darling necklace!  One Charming Party shows you how here.




Perfect Pair?  Quick! Easy!  Cheap!  I'm in heaven!  Target Dollar Bins have valentine socks right now in my area.   I plan to pick up a pair or two and attach "We Make the Perfect Pair" tags that I printed from C.R.A.F.T  here.  For the hubby, I will pick up some nicer manly socks, you know plain white.

What Simple and Quick Idea will you whip up this weekend?

14 Days of Love...skip a few, Day 9

Really, this post should have been on Day 8 since that is when I crafted my little token of love.   However, after a rough day and a computer crash, posting was not happening last night.  So here I am a day later, on another PC posting my little lovely.

                                    

I crafted a Little Girl's Clippie and attached to a Valentine I made from a FREE printable I downloaded over at Style Crush.    Bug has a sweet little bestie that we will be delivering this Valentine Clippie to.
