After putting away the Christmas decorations this year, I found that things were looking just a bit to plain at my house. I decided to take some time to create some new Valentine decorations. I am usually creating for others or for my etsy shop and I must admit that it was fun making something for me this time.
The first project I completed was this sweet little frame which now sits on my kitchen windowsill.
I used a stamp set from Paper Trey Ink, one of my favorite places to shop. The set is called Every Day Button Bits. If you click HERE I have posted a link that will take you right to their site. (just in case you need to have this set for yourself) :)
I enlisted the help of my Cricut machine to create this next project. Using the "Tie the Knot" cartridge for the banner pieces and the "Nursery Rhymes" cartridge for the lettering I created this love banner. With some finishing touches of ribbon, bakers twine, machine stitching, hearts and flowers it now hangs happily from the shelf in my kitchen.
Well now that I have created some fun projects for myself, I'm back to creating for my Etsy shop. I hope you will stop by for a visit. I will be adding new items soon. Before I close this post for tonight, I wanted to share this picture with you. All Things Grow with Love----my love for this little guy grows daily. How could it not......
I sure am blessed to have him as my weekday buddy when his Mommy and Daddy are at work.
Your button bits cards and tags are always the cutest...love this latest one for Valentine's Day. Likewise your banner...eek! I better get my Christmas stuff put away and start with the next holiday. You know I love Valentine's Day...a day to tell my family and friends how dear they are to me...like you!

HELLO!!! It's so good to see a post from you!! I missed your last 'rose colored' post and think you look very chic in your glasses!!
ReplyDeleteI also love your Valentine creations and decor! This time of year everything is so drab looking and color, especially red really does brighten everything!
Didn't you make a few cards last Valentines Day with the same stamps? I loved them then and I love them now. Really a versatile set. Mimi
