Happy Valentines!

Happy Valentines to you! 

I think next to Halloween, Valentines is my most favorite to create for! 

Both are easy as far as decorating....well, okay. Christmas is PRETTY easy too! 

Last year for Valentines I made lot some neat little projects to share with you!  This year, I have one.
Here's a Link to last years Valentine's Day Project Blog Post. 

Only one. 

But!  I LOVE how it turned out!  

Wanna see? 

For my FIRST February Project for My Scrap Chick I made this TOTALLY cute Valentines' Day Banner. AND I used my favorite Paper Manufacturer.  Authentique! 

I've added some close up photos for you to see. 

So what's an SVG file?  EVERYTHING!  Yes, Everything!  

The Banner, the Cupid, The Letters, the Heart.  

Everything. 

Now, they might be bits and pieces of larger files, but trust me...they are ALL SVG's from 

My Scrap Chick

For the Banner I used four different SVG Files (all have links down below)  But, I htought it would be a good idea to post what i used from each file.  

1.  The Banner:  The banner was the main file.  I wanted to use the same shape banner all throughout so I chose the Shape I wanted and cut all the pieces from it. 

2.  The Cupids.  I needed two, one for each end.  The cupid was the easy one because it's the only shape in that particular SVG File.  All I did was cut two of the cupids and then flip one over so that it faced the opposite direction. 

3.  The Letters.  For the Letters I went into the 3-D Alphabet Pop Up Letters and deleted all of the components that I knew I didn't want to use.  After all of those were deleted I was left with main letter and the shadow.  Which was exactly what I wanted.  :-) I also pop dotted the Main Letter from the Shadow Letter. 

4.  The Heart Spacer. for this I used the Double Heart Closure for the Sweet Lollipop Holder.  Since I pop dotted the smaller heart onto the larger heart I decided to glue the ribbon onto the top of the smaller heart incstead of threading it through. 

 

Here's a list of all the SVG Files I used, as well as link to them.

Happy February Everyone!

February!

The Second Month out of 12.

My Daughter's Birthday.

And....Valentines Day.

Valentines Day comes every year, and a lot of people dread it.  That used to be me!  But NOT this year!

I always say that I'm going to put up at least one Valentine Decoration.  Or I'm going to go buy myself a Valentine's Shirt to wear on the day.

But, I never do.

Until THIS year!

This year I have decorations. AND a shirt!

And I shall display and wear them proudly!

But first to share them with all of you!

 My Shirt!  I LOVE my shirt!  And it was super easy to make.  As a matter of fact, this was my very first Iron On Vinyl project ever.  I purchased the shirt from Academy ($8.99) and purchased some Iron On On Vinyl, and ironed it on my shirt.

Here's a link to the File I used: Love and Kisses

And I LOVE my little frames!  I made two little 4x7 frames to hold the SVG files that I purchased from My Scrap Chick.  One of the frames holds the word "Valentine" and the other is simply "XO".  I also added a little Heart Arrow underneath the "XO". I think the little frames are super cute little additions to my main project frame.

Here are the links to the three cutting files that i used on these two projects: XO, Heart Arrows, Valentine Wordart. (I used the XO from the Love and Kisses file on the one frame).

The main part of my project that everything goes around is my Black Glittered Wooden Frame.  I LOVE this frame, you can use it for anything!  (and you will most probably see this exact same frame in the future!) Each section of the frame is decorated with an SVG file from My Scrap Chick (except for one, the bottom middle).  Most of the cuts have been popped up with Pop Dots (everything looks better with Pop Dots!)

In the original file, the Cupid, is holding a heart arrow and a harp, but i decided to change that and gave him a banner that simply states "I Love You".

To make the "LOVE" letters, I simply used the 3D Alphabet Pop Up Letters and made them the size that i needed to fit in the space that i was allowed.  

A LOT of files were added into this frame, but i think each one fits together quite nicely!

Here's a list of each file that i used:

Heart and Arrows
Love and Kisses
3D Alphabet Pop Up Letters
Cupid Belly Treat Box
Fall Pennant
Mailbox and Postage Stamp Cards

And like i said you will "most" likely (okay, definitley) see this frame in another project.  You want to know why?  Well...because none of the paper bases are glued to the wood.  Each one is removeable so that you can create new "art" for other occasions!  (Which i will show you how to do in the future months...or sooner!)

I hope you've enjoyed my projects as much as i enjoyed creating them!
