A bit of LOVE & Hearts for Valentine's Day


There was once a time when I may have added just a wreath or perhaps something with hearts on it to the front door for February, and in celebration of Valentine's Day.  With so much available these days, and so many creative ideas floating around, I have been more into adding some hearts and love, and yes, even a touch of red to my decor when February rolls around. 




I love my display shelf, it is my go to spot for holidays and in-between seasons.  I enjoy changing the look of it and seeing something different, since I often get the itch to change my decor.  I also like to change up my fireplace mantle too, but mostly prefer to do that for the change of seasons and Christmas.  My display shelf was something I wanted to add for those other holidays that come around throughout the year.  It gives me a space where I can be creative by changing the look of it using different themes and items, and I always like to challenge myself to do it in a cost friendly way.

I put together a heart and love display with a few things I already had and a few inexpensive items I recently purchased, all for under ten dollars. -The burlap heart in the middle (it has a clip/photo holder on the back), the rock with "Love is patient" on it, the "Love lives here" sign, paper doilie hearts, a Valentine's Day card, and the cute little red hearts and beads necklaces which I used for a garland along the front.-

I got into my craft stash and used some rubber stamps, a red ink pad, and a plain piece of card stock for the "I (heart) U" and then placed it in a pretty photo frame.  The wooden clipboard holds an actual Valentine's Day card, I liked that the front of it is a large gathering of heart balloons all forming a heart, some of them are raised red hearts.  I love hearts!






Since I love all things "hearts" this was a fun project for me!  And, I'll admit that I am a bit of a heart-gushin', sappy romantic when it comes to love, too!

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!...
