Earlier this week I was browsing around Pinterest and found this wonderful Valentine sign. I absolutely love the saying on it and decided that I was going to make it. Because I have been called a "creative hoarder", I had all of the supplies right in my studio already. No need to go to the store and besides it has been freezing cold this week and who wants to get out in the cold if you don't have to.
Here is the sign that I orignally look at. Landee See, Landee Do, is a great place for inspriration. I have just recently found her blog and I really like her style. As you can see I changed my sign up a bit by doing the pink thing instead. You know I always say, "When in doubt pink is always the right choice." I am sure it is not shocker that I went with pink.
One thing that I do like about Valentines is that you are able to put pink and red together without it being wierd. Needless to say, I take very opportunity to do just that. Pink and red for everyone.
I was so excited to use my bakers twine that I recently purchased off of Pick Your Plum. Pick Your Plum is a daily email that sells one craft type item each day for super cheap. I am talking anywhere from $2 to $6.95. I am pretty sure I have never seen anything for more than that. Let me just warn you, if you are a "crafty" this email is dangerous. It is hard to pass up these deals. Seriously I could spend money everyday with Pick You Plum.
I used a 1 x 8 for my board, but I do think a 1 x 10 would be better as you can make the lettering bigger. Using my handy Cricut machine I cut the letters out of a piece of adhesive vinyal. Super easy project and the results are awesome.
