Easy, Inexpensive (cheap) Valentine Project

My goal this week is to do 2 blog posts by Sunday, and they will both be about Valentines projects!!  Yippee, lets see if I can do that........Yes I think I can!!!

OK.....lets start out with the first one.

I wanted to make something cute that I could sell in my booth and I did not want to spend any money.  So I combed my craft stash and came up with these:

A $1 frame from Michael's
A wooden heart left over from another project
2 pieces of scrapbook paper ( one black print, the other red)
Some mod podge
Off white paint for the frame
some e6000 adhesive

So first I painted the frame off white ( sorry I did not take pics but all of this is easy) 2 coats.
Then I covered the wooden heart with the red scrapbook paper, using mod podge. 
Then, I covered the cardboard backing that came with the frame using the black and white scrapbook paper and mod podge.
I added a little bit of brown distress ink to distress the heart after it dried, but this step is optional.
I then put the frame back together and using the e6000 I glued the heart right on the glass.

Voila, done.......and here is the finished project.  Cost to me, $0, because I had all the supplies!!  YES!!

 So....what do you think? 

Look for another Valentines project coming up before Sunday night!!

Valentines day will be here before we know it.........WOW wasn't it just Christmas??

I put my outside decor up a couple of weeks ago .....needless to say I have had to rescue the large hearts on the porch several times due to high winds and snow.  My interior decor I put up just last weekend because I had to finish a couple of signs I was working on.

I got a cricut machine for christmas and I have been testing it out making signs.  Using the "home decor" solutions cartridge, I printed out "love" on clear contact paper and using the reverse stencil method I made these two signs.




Love sign in red....perfect for Valentines day!!





Rustic love sign.. works any time of year!

 I am so happy with the way these turned out.  They were fun to make.  If you have to have one I made more for my booth at "Not so Shabby"!!!1
