Valentine Projects

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought I'd better get moving and make a few things.  First up is this card I made using a scrap of polka dot paper from my stash.  I also came across an unopened pack of K & Co die-cut cardstock with the sweetest Victorian images like this cute little cherub, roses, envelope and sentiment.  The Royal Lace doily was spritzed with Tattered Angels S.W.A.K. mist.  The rhinestone swirls are from Me & My Big Ideas.  I added a touch of Stickles to the roses and adhered them as well as the cherub with foam adhesive.

On a recent trip to my local AC Moore, I came across a wooden heart-shaped doiley with a rose image cut through (not sure what the correct terminology is for this technique).  I gave it a couple of coats of different color paints.  I hot glued buttons from Making Memories around the edge.  The cherub was on a stick that I saved from an arrangement of flowers I received from my son last Valentine's Day.  It was originally gold, so I removed the stick portion and gave it a coat of white paint and distressed it with a bit of brown ink.  The envelope is from K & Co, pink felt heart is from Making Memories, and the little heart charm hanging at the bottom is from Recollections.  A bit of lace was attached for hanging and then a generous coat of Martha Stewart glitter was applied.

My son asked if he could have this to give to someone.  I told him I would make another one since this one is sentimental to me because of the cherub and it is the only one I had.  I took a trip to AC Moore yesterday and found some more of these hearts as well as the cutest heart-shaped trinket box.  Looks like I'm on a roll!  Nothing like coming down to the wire!  Hopefully, you will see them here soon!

I hope the week ahead is wonderful for everyone.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit.
