Toddler Valentine’s Day Cards
| February 13, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY, Holidays, Valentine's Day |
I already shared the cute Pinterest inspired Valentine’s Day Cards for Michael to give to his classmates…but I wanted Ryan to have a few for his toddler friends also. I wanted to steer clear of candy at that age so I came up with this! Pin It I used my Cameo and cut out a tag and manipulated it the way I needed it. I wrote the message “You are my Main Squeeze”, added a few stickers and slapped the tag on a squeezable apple sauce! I am still learning my Cameo so I am sure a seasoned user… Continue reading…

Valentine’s Day Heart Hanging
| February 6, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY, Home Decor, Valentine's Day |
Hanging or wreath? I wasn’t sure either! I think it’s cute though, regardless of the title! Items Needed: Styrofoam heart form Red Yarn Felt (white, pink & red) Hot Glue/Glue sticks Scissors Ribbon I started off by securing my yarn to my form with a small strip of hot glue. I started at the top point (or “V”) of the heart, wrapping my yarn in a single layer. I had to use glue to help hold the yarn until I got past to the curve of the heart and then it could hold itself! I completed one side at a… Continue reading…

When you don’t have a mantle…use your entryway table!
