Well I finally have ALL my Christmas decor down and put away(I think)... It took me long enough... Oh yeah there is the outside stuff ugh...well it's been way to cold to do that so that will have to wait!!! Now, Valentines day has been on my mind...I am not a very Sappy person(just ask my Husband) :)...but i do love looking at OLd Fashion Valentines Card's and the simple romantic look of valentines day decor...So Where am I going with this..well I have been in the mood to create some of this quaint Valentines day decor and here are some of the things I started with..
I was looking around in my craft room(which by the way is in dire need of organization)for some inspiration and thought I could work with these above items...I have really been in LOVE with old book pages.. there is just something about them that inspires me...not sure if it's the history of the books or just the simplicity of it all...in any case I have been using it in many creations..I also came across some paper Doilies that I had scored a while back at our local thrift store and ALWAYS knew they would come in handy SOMEDAY.. well they are perfect for Valentines crafts...
Add a heart made of an old book page and wa-la
instant romantic simplicity :) I may just have to have my Girls make some for there class this year...who am i kidding they will want Jusin Bieber or I-carly or some Disney person..But one never knows..
This is what the book pages, stamps & Doilies turned into..
I just love how one can turn ordinary plain objects into something simple yet inspiring like the above cuties...The top one is an old mason jar and I had an old heart cookie cutter I added to it..and then to fill it I added some old lace for the vintage romantic look.. hOPE these inspire you to make some v-day crafts...& if not you will find some of these cuties in our Beautiful Junque BOoth @ Sulaine's Antique Mall..
Keeping with the OLD BOok theme...& adding in some Chalk Board effect..I had to try these new glass baubles I picked up & made these necklaces below....
Well I will quit talking about all this LOVE stuff for now..but the big day with be here soon..so onward I will go making LOVE:)...i MEAN creating more love decor in hopes to inspire..
Blessings,
Alicia & Carol
