Valentine's Day Decorations......

This week it was my turn Laura McHugh East... so I asked that we create a Valentine's Day decoration that we would love to share with our quests....

I just love Valentines Day and the thought of letting your loved ones know that you LOVE them....

after a long dark winter I love to see the bright Reds and Pinks start showing up for this special occasion.

Here is my Valentine's Decorations to share.....
found this package of  foam hearts at the dollar store...

love playing with color and rolling it onto bubble wrap with a brayer.....

then pressing the  bubble wrap filled with paint onto the foam hearts.......you can't make a mistake.....

I cut out heart shapes in the hearts shapes......

I thought from this one package of hearts I could make 2 items a banner and a wall hanging.... sew... I got out my ribbons and sewing machine and started at the top and sewed right onto a ribbon then through all the hearts straight down the center from one heart to another....

I thought I would take it outside in the First snow of the season and man  did those colors pop!

here it is our home hanging from a favorite shabby angel....

and here is the banner hanging outside....






the banner I did a little  different...I punched wholes on each side of the hearts and then with ribbons and fancy bakers twine I tied the hearts together......and here the banner stays to brighten up our kitchen on these cold and dreary days.....
