Valentine's Day Vignette

This week I haven’t exactly worked on unpacking very much because I’ve been doing some Valentine’s Day decorating. {blush} Priorities, people! Ha!

Since we haven’t gotten our new mantel installed yet {I’ll give you a sneak peek at it soon!}, I asked Beth if it would be okay if I linked up a Valentine’s vignette to her mantel party.  She said, “Of course!” So I got to work.

I chose my apple green desk because it’s one of the half decent parts of my house right now. Ahem.

Ta-to-the-da!

This corner of my living room is so bright and cheery…

…shhhhh, and romantic!

I made a a heart-shaped burlap wreath and two satin ruffle heart wreaths too.  Tutorials on those babies are coming soon!  They were so easy and inexpensive to make!

{be still my decor-crafting-lovin’ heart}

Tulips and roses on my favorite flowers and the vignette needed some “life” so I snagged these for $10 at Walmart!

I made this adorable “be mine” topiary {tutorial coming soon on my other blog!}  I used my new Silhouette machine to vinyl “be mine” on my recent thrift store bucket find and I love it!

{happy sigh}

I bought conversation hearts {where did their quality go??} and filled one of my old Ball jars with them.

This leather flower is from our February wedding almost five years ago.  They were worn as boutineers and corsages.  {love}

{more ruffle-y love}

And you can see one of my old aqua insulators peeking out too!

This package tag “l-o-v-e” art was inspired by something I saw in a magazine ten years ago and I made it for my husband before he was my husband. We go wayyyy back…like all the way back to when I was 9 and he was 10. We knew the moment we saw each other that one day we would get married.  Don’t believe me?  Read our love story.

I used my Silhouette to cut out most of these hearts that I hung from a yard sale picture frame.  The dimensional hearts I just eyeballed and put together.

I’m so happy with how my V-day vignette turned out!  It brightens my day and I hope it’s brightened yours!
