Happy Valentine's Day~Spread a little love cards

I love Paper!! There are so many wonderful prints! I love to find ways to use them even if it is a simple as making some valentines day cards.


I've had a paper, scissors, and glue obsession since I was a child. Me and my daughter helped  make these wonderful cards, she picked out what to use and i cut away, we both glued.....
and here you have it, just a few fun cards




It's all in the folds as seen here in this quick tutorial

Simple grapevine Wreaths

I love a simple wreath,.and a grape vine wreath is my fav. They brings and instant inviting warmth, and are a quick and simple way to decorate.  Also once the holiday is over you take it down and pack it away.
I like simple and easy!!



My followers will end up noticing that I will have a wreath for every holiday. I get that from my mom she calls me and we tell each other about our wreaths and how we changed them around..lol

3 Tips for great wreath

1. Take your time picking out the base, grape vine is great but they are never perfectly shaped and can have alot of broken vine tucked in here and there, you want a strong one.

2. When choosing a ribbion try picking the wired kind. It willl be eaiser to place.

3. When adding nick knacks to the wreath, us the basic design rule "add in odds".
for example, look at my valintine wreath, I have 3 decor elements, a ribbion, a sign, and the hearts.
Then I have 7 hearts.
