Valentine Love

As I mentioned last year around this time, I'm not a big "decorate for every holiday" kind of person. I'm trying to get better about it, since these {tweener} holidays are a big deal for the tiny people ~ and I have that adorable wreath and those cute printables from last Valentines Day, so I figured I might as well keep growing the collection.

This year I made a cute, quick, and super-simple little project.

You may have seen a corner of it peeking out next to the shadow box bank in yesterday's post. Yep...that's because I made this one first. I'm getting crazy and posting out of order! Anyhoodle...this is what I started out with...

Just a simple little square-ish wood piece with raised sides that I found at Michael's. Since it's winter in Michigan, and spray paint and cold weather don't mix, I gave it a coat or 2 of white craft paint.

Easy enough. I picked up some cute Valentine's Day scrapbooking paper, too, and cut it down to size so it would fit in the recessed area.

I used a coat of Mod Podge under the paper, and another coat over the paper. Then I stuck on this adorable red heart that I cut using my Silhouette machine. More Mod Podge (because you really can never use too much... ;) ) on top of the heart.

Being that I lack patience and wanted to get this {done}, I didn't wait long enough between coats, which caused the heart to bubble a bit. :( It is what it is.

So here's the finished product again, looking all cute.

Believe it or not, I have yet {another} Valentine's Day project up my sleeve. I KNOW! Who {AM} I!?!?!?!?!
