I have a couple of things to share with you today! First of is a cute and easy set of valentine cards.  They come all in one set which is great!  I cut them out with Echo Park's Be Mine Collection, and put them together, added a couple of stickers, buttons and twine.  Easy Peasy! Right!  Well since I am giving these away to a sweet neighbor who has been helped me out while we had a giant snowstorm and my husband was out of town, I made her a cute tag from this tag set, added a couple stickers and a thank you sentiment and tied them with a bow in a cellophane bag.  Cute gift to give away....

OK, so I have one more quick idea that just came to me this morning... So it was a quickie, but still cute non the less.  My husband was cleaning out the garage last night and brought in a whole bunch of boards I was saving for "future" projects - well we are in the process of selling our house and relocating back to Utah, so he looked at me and said, you can't move these boards... so he placed them in the wood pile by our fireplace.  So as I am getting the fire going this morning, I was placing these in the fireplace and thought, how sad, these would make a cute valentines board, so I slyly took one from the pile, and went to town.  Here is the finished product - just think, this would have been ash later on today if I hadn't saved it!!!




Products used:

Wood board painted white and then a top coat of glitter paint

  1. Natalie,
    I think your cards are so pretty and thoughtful. I know your neighbor will be happy to receive them. The story about your husband and the boards sounds like me! LOL! I LOVE the sign you made. I'm so inspired by it I might actually make use of a board I have in my craft room...or some from the garage...or the empty pallet I sat by the side of the house that DH is so eager to throw out ... LOL!
