Making Valentines ~

Valentine's Day | Inspiration

Yes, we jumped on these adorable Valentines...

they are just soooo fun and my kiddos are having a great time assembling them!

I think they originated from 24.7.365 (I am so sorry if I am wrong, and please correct me).

Here are a few other great ideas:

Valentine Gift | Inspiration

 My dear friend Monica from La Famiglia Design posted these fabulous Valentine's and I just had to share! 

This is such a fun Valentine for all ages - 

Just think of all the cute words you could use to personalize your spice bag for that special someone or the fun your kiddos will have coming up with saying for their classroom friends.

And simply fill them with your favorite candy.

Be sure to head over to Monica's blog to see more details.

Do You Heart Shape Your Food? ~

Holiday | Food Inspiration

I have finally got the bug that my family has been passing around for the last few weeks - I always thought Moms didn't get sick?

 Even though I have a horrible cold, this photo made me smile. I think it is because I can see my kiddos face when they see that cute heart-shaped pepperoni! 

Do you make any heart shaped food for your family for Valentine's Day?

Valentine Frame {With Silhouette} ~

DIY | Valentine Project Inspiration

I know it might seem a bit early, but out with the old in with the new...right? Okay okay, it is WAY too early for Valentine's Day, but here we go!

Here are the materials I used:

• Sheet Music
• $1 Frame
• Small Frame
• Foam Glittered Heart
• Burlap
• Letters cut out with my new Silhouette

With sheet music

With burlap frame

With foam heart (I did substitute a larger foam heart that I simply cut it in half)

With a little Valentine text - 

I used my new Silhouette to cut out the letters - 

it was sooo easy! Way easier than cutting out the letters by hand.

Shabby Chic Valentine Cone ~

My daughter was the lucky reciepent of this magnificent Valentine's gift from Monica at La Famiglia Design!

I just love all of the sweet details that Monica added. 
The key is adorable...

 The tags are so sweet...

 

And her name tag is perfect...

 

Be sure to head over to her blog for a tutorial. She also had a romantic Valentine display using a riddling rack that I just love. 

I hope you all have a great weekend and a Happy Valentine's Day!

Kids Valentine's ~

My kids Valentine's Day Party is this Friday, so I decided it was time to get the Valentine's started. I am sure you have all seen these recently...

And I knew I wanted to do something similar - and then I found these on Skip to my Lou:

 

And I was thrilled! I selected some colored paper and began printing.

Had the kiddos sign their names and I cut out all of the shapes - after 26 my hand was literally shaking!

Then punched holes in the flowers and had the kids feed the lollipop through the center. Using double stick tape, I attached the leaves to the sticks.

Thank you Skip to my Lou! My kids are thrilled to deliver their cute Valentine's!

Key to My Heart ~

I had a few items laying around the house and decided to make a little Valentine's Day display. 

 I picked this book up at Goodwill for $2. It is from 1912!

I had these keys...

Decided to make a tag...

And throw it all together on top of a little mirror...

 

I just love how it all came together!

Valentine Inspiration ~

Here are a few great Valentine's Day inspirational photos from marthastewart.com.

I just love these tea bags!

I am pretty sure my kiddos and I will be making these this year for their school Valentine's.

I think this hand idea would be great from the kiddos to Daddy!
