February 2020 – HOME ON THE CORNER

Good morning! It’s Valentine week! Do you have your Valentine’s ready to pass out to friends? Enough candy to last a lifetime? Well, this project today won’t add calories, but it might lighten up your junk pile a bit!

I saw some other projects on Pinterest where crafters used different pieces of hardware to create signs. It reminded me of these scroll pieces I had that I never quite knew what to do with. When I pulled them out, I realized they made a heart. Perfect! I started with a board that had previously been painted grey, my two scroll pieces, a hook and chalk paint.

I added a sawtooth hanger on the back of the board before I started with everything else on the front.

I lightly painted over the board with the turquoise chalk paint. Once it was dry, I sanded the whole board again, so that some turquoise and some grey both showed.

I just glued my pieces on the board with Gorilla Glue. No tools required!

Once my pieces were glued, I let it dry overnight.

I hung it on my dining room wall and added a little pink heart to from the hook.

Such a simple little project! I’m glad I finally found a use for those pretty little scroll pieces! Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Good morning! I hope everyone is doing well this week! We are just a week away from Valentine’s Day and we could not be more excited!

We have a special featured guest post for you this week. Gabrielle from Siege Media was kind enough to send us this cute printable to share with you! I hope you enjoy the printable and her little post.

Valentine’s Day is coming up fast, and it’s the perfect time to share love and appreciation for each other. There’s nothing better than spending quality time with your family and enjoying a festive activity together. These folding heart cards are easy to create and provide just enough space for customization.

To get started, print out several of the cards below. Don’t forget to print front-to-back to make sure the pattern is on both sides. Cozy up in some pajamas, play your favorite music, and get crafting! You can also turn the activity into a fun pajama party and play some games, too. You’ll be making Valentine’s Day memories before you know it.

I downloaded the printable and did it myself. I made each of my kitties a cute little Valentine! Neither of them were super thrilled with receiving a piece of paper but they were mostly good sports about taking photos. I made the heart envelopes on cardstock to make sure they were more stable.
