My $3.00 Frame turned into a Valentine Mantel piece




I picked up this frame for $3.00 and I wanted to challenge myself to make something.  I painted the frame and then used burlap and made some paper flowers and it was that easy.
Over at www.rhonnadesigns.blogspot.com she shows how to make paper flowers and a free download.  I have been having lots of fun using The Kiss Me collection.  Still need to work on some Valentines.

Valentine Banner




We have lots of rain today so it was a good day to be inside crafting.  I love the way this Banner came out. I again used the Kiss Me Collection by Rhonna Designs,  all you have to do is print and cut and just add stuff. I wanted to go to my craft store today to see all the new stuff so I could add things to this Banner but instead I used what I had on hand and I'm happy with it.  I'm still working on more Ideas for my Mantel.

My Love Birds - Decorating for Valentines Day


I have the Spark to Decorate my Mantel - I have one ugly Mantel, no matter what I do it stays ugly.  This year I'm trying to make it look cute!  I was looking for some white Love Birds but couldn't find any so I used red birds instead.  I also used Rhonna Designs -Kiss me Collection for the cute hat and was Inspired by  Margie romney-aslett's Love, Love, Love class.  This project was pretty quick once you got the hat done.
Next I'm going to make a Banner using the same paper collection.
