Happy Monday! Here is my latest layout for the memory nest. I spent forever going through my project life cards trying to decide what one to use. I have such a collection of them, since I try to do project life every year and fail. And I'm trying again this year! Last year I made it to July and it was my farthest yet. Anyways, I have a lot of different type of cards and I narrowed it down to this pink #LOVE one and to a wooden card with a rainbow on it. I really liked how the pink poped out on the gray. It won, but I spent about an hour trying to decide, and I really had a lot of other things I needed to be doing then starring at my layout.
Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own. So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!
And this layout has melted my heart too! Totally smooshy and beautiful, love it!
