This is a simple, cute valentine project that only takes about an hour to make!!!

Supplies:

Cardboard

Tissue Paper or Streamers in pink or red

Ribbon

Glue

Pencil

Scissors

Tape

Start by cutting out some fun heart shapes from cardboard:

I didn't have any pink/red tissue paper, so I used some valentine-colored party streamers. Cut some square-ish shapes. I also used some thinner bits to fill in the heart.

Happy New Years!

May this new year be filled with smiles and creativity!

I am pondering my resolutions as I create this post!

I haven't given it much thought at all. 2012 has certainly sneaked up on me this year (same with Christmas)!

Okay - with this coming year, I know i'll be very busy. (This winter break has been glorious)

I resolve to build up my blog, create more crafts, and simply make life more fun!

Happy a happy New Year and enjoy the countdown to 2012!

Wrapping Gifts for Christmas the Creative Way

Dec 21, 2011

I've been busy shopping, crafting, and wrapping all week. Here's some ideas for wrapping your gifts the creative way!

Here's what I had:

I wanted to do something cute and fun. So, I gathered both sides and tied them with ribbon.

It looks like a piece of candy!

Here's also a cute, simple way of wrapping a gift. We'll call it 'Santa's Bag'

I just popped the present into a paper bag with tissue paper and tied with ribbon. Such a cute look!

Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas! I'm a total Christmas junkie. Every year I decorate my room. I'm going to share it with you!

I hung a Santa Hat on the corner of my desk

Fill a glass cylinder with small ornaments

I took red and white chenille stems and twisted them together. Then I tied strips of felt and gold fabric to make a festive door decor

My mini Christmas tree with a cute mini tree skirt (red felt decorated) and my little mini presents. I used some fluff (you can use cotton balls) for the snow.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed this post. Have tons of fun decorating your house/room!
