When I saw Living With Lindsay's
post about this, it inspired me to spread the sugary love. I didn't use buttons, oh no, in honor of Valentine's Day, I used conversation hearts.
I went to the Dollar Store and bought a few bags of "be mine, I'm yours, marry me, and text me". I also picked up a picture frame.
I used a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper as the background, so I traced and then cut out the insert from the picture frame.
I used my
Cricut to cut out the shape of the heart that I would then use to trace onto the scrapbook paper. You could freehand this or use tracing paper as well (I just look for any excuse to use my Cricut. :o)
Get that glue gun ready and start to glue...
...and glue, Sweet Pea...
...and glue, Puppy Love!
I followed one heart that said "dream big," and put a second layer of convo hearts on top.
I used clear nair polish to shine up the little love messages! And then put it in the frame. FYI: I put mine in without the glass in front because it wouldn't fit!
Here it is before I put the red bow on it. I can't decide which way I like it better.
And here it is after, with a cute little red bow.
This would make a wonderful craft to do with children. It is easy, simple and fun! For this little project and me, it is "True Love"!
I love a great party at:
