Homemade Valentine Decorating

I recently discovered the fun of Modge Podge. I know, a lot later than all you crafties. I get together once a month for craft day with my sis and sis-in-law, which was the perfect time to try out some ideas I wanted to use with Modge Podge. I just had to see what it was all about. I bought some wood letters at a store called Crafty Wood Cutouts, which happened to be a really great price. I also bought scrapbook paper and the Modge Podge there as well, its a great little store. Through some trial and error (on my part), we got the job done and I think it turned out pretty well.

We had left over scrapbook paper and I had picked up a couple of paint cards at Home Depot last weekend, so we decided to make a Valentine garland that my sister Becca had on Pinterest. (Thanks Becca) It turned out like this:

It was a fun craft day, relatively cheap, and spending time with some girls what just what I needed.

I had one more sheet of scrapbook paper that hadn't been used and I couldn't just throw it away. I had one more idea.... I picked up an unpainted picture frame at Hobby Lobby, which happened to be 50% off. (Oh yeah.) With a little more help from Modge Podge, I made this:

I had the perfect picture for the frame, it was taken two years ago, and very festive.

All-in-all, I think Modge Podge lived up to my expectations. It was pretty fun and easy to use. I have used up all of my crafty energy though, so Modge Podge is done for a while.

Oh, wait one more idea....

I found something on Pinterest that I wanted to alter a bit.

I bet it smells wonderful, but I wanted to change mine up a bit. I had the perfect container that I bought at Pier 1 years ago. My version:

Perfect.

And that concludes my Valentine projects.
