Valentine's Day Decor

Last week I got on a Valentine's Day/Anniversary artsy, crafts, DIY kick - don't ask me why. Maybe it was all the cute lovey dovey projects floating around Pinterest. Regardless, I found myself inspired & wanting to create something.

It all started when I found cute Valentine's Day craft paper at Target - yes, I know. So I created this:
All I did was trace out the words "love you" on the paper & cut them out. Then I strung a piece of string & paper clipped on a couple of my Instagram pictures that I ordered from Printstagram. [Please excuse the ugly masking tape holding up the string. I literally had no other option of getting it onto the wall & I just couldn't wait to hang it up!]

Speaking of Instagram prints…
This is how I chose to display the rest of my Printstagram photos in my room. I'm so smitten with it!

And finally, my last little V's Day art piece: His One, Her Only. I loved this quote as soon as I read it & couldn't wait to turn it into something cute to display. 
I started by cutting up a Cheeze-Its box & covering one side with plain white paper. Then I used my $1 wash tapes from Target to put a cute boarder.
Then I drew very lightly in pencil how I wanted the words to look & began to go over it in Sharpie when I was done. I wanted then to have a layered look so I started with the 'one' & 'only' because I wanted those ones to look like they were on top. Plus, they were in the lighter color.
Next was filling in the 'his' & 'her' & to add just a few finishing touches with the lettering & viola! I think it's really cute & like seeing it when I wake up in the morning & before I go to bed at night. I'm his one, he's my only. Forever.

Happy decorating my friends!
