{Freebie} Valentine Coloring Pages

Finally!! I figured out how to create a coloring page in PicMonkey!!

What I couldn't figure out is how to make text color-able.  

The answer was so easy it was literally staring me in the face!!

Every time you add text to what you are creating it brings up a box with TWO tabs.....an Options tab and an Effects tab.  Well duh....the Effects tab allows you to edit the text into color-able text!

So fun!!!

So if I get too crazy on offering free coloring pages please tell me! Ha!

So here's my Valentine to you!  

This quote is from an awesome worship song by John Mark McMillan "Heart Won't Stop".

Enjoy!!

And Happy Valentine's day!!

2016 Valentine Mantle

Last weekend we finally put the Christmas back in the little red barn and got the Valentine and Easter out.  I sure do wish I had room to store it all in the house but I just don't.

  So....sure does make for some family exercise at least!!

I bought this cute artwork last year after Valentine's Day from Ross. I pulled the chalkboard heart and flowers together and had one side done. Then I went to the Dollar Tree and found the black square frame that I simply put a piece of scrapbook paper in and then found the '&' in the Target Spot. Doily hearts came from Dollar Tree too. ☺  Cute, simple, black, pink, floral mantle!

Played with angles with  my new camera!!

So now we are ready for V Day!

Happy Thursday lovelies! 

{Freebie} Valentine Lockscreens

Happy Friday lovelies!!

Made some freebies to share!  I love changing out my lockscreen with the holidays.  And when there's no holiday it's usually a scripture (She Reads Truth has some awesome ones!) or something uplifting.  Trying a new size with these so hope they work on any device! 

Just bring up this post on your phone and long press the lockscreen of your choice, save and then make as your wallpaper. For personal use only please.

love and flowers are all i need

for the love of arrows

Enjoy and Happy Friday!!

{Sharing} 2015 Valentine's Day Mantel

I just love the Target Dollar Spot. Really, who does not? There's not many times that I walk past it, how about you? I picked up that cute 'be mine' sign not knowing what I'd really do with it.  When I got started on getting the Valentine décor out a 'be mine' theme quickly became evident and what other kind of banner was there to make other than a 'be mine' one!

{My Valentine!! That chalkboard sign is one of the first crafts I ever shared here!}

 

I have some paperback books I got free at a garage sale that I've stashed to craft with and so I busted them out to make my banner.  I just folded pages once longwise and cut a heart out.  I had printed off the words and just used a sharpie to trace and fill in the letters. Found some cute felt stickers in the Dollar Spot to decorate a heart. Hung with twine and clothespins and done!

I think we're ready for love day now!!

Well that's not true.  We still have classmate Valentine's and teacher Valentine's to get! Ha!

But that won't be work, it'll be fun!! ☺

 

Happy Thursday lovelies!!

Dollar Tree Valentine Wreath

I don't know about you but crafting is sure therapeutic for me! This past week we put up all the Christmas decor in our little building and got out the little bit of Valentine stuff that I have.  Lil' Hunkie was so adamant that I had so much more than just one box! Due to crafting and reusing what I already have in different ways it really was just one box.  So I decided to make a new wreath for the door and spent Tuesday afternoon in my warm, sunny craft room enjoying making a cute, easy decoration with Lil' Hunkie making a mess behind me.....oh I meant playing!! Actually, he wanted to help me so I let him pull flowers off stems.  Then he went back to his 'playing'. ☺








Dollar Tree Valentine Wreath
Supplies:
Round metal serving tray
3 rose bunches
both bought at Dollar Tree so my total spent was $4 plus tax!!
Mod Podge and foam brush
ribbon
hot glue gun
Picmonkey graphic that I made!

I know you're so surprised that I used Picmonkey!! It's probably my favorite 'crafting' tool!
Here's the image if you'd like to use it!! Right click and save!

I simply cut the circle out and then had to trim just a bit to fit inside the tray. I then Mod Podged it on.

Next I got to hot gluing flowers around the rim. Finished by hot gluing the ribbon on and done!  The first picture is the wreath on my back door in my craft room which is also a sun room and that's why it's soooo bright! Here it is on my front door......

I'm lovin' it against that red!! I smile every time I look at it!

Here's to a Happy Thursday!!

{Sharing} 2014 Valentine's Day Mantel

Well here she is!

My Valentine's Day mantel...the only Valentine's Day decor I have out.  Didn't take long to create this as I pulled most things from my china cabinet, craft room, and decor stash. 

I did buy the pink burlap rose and the scrapbook paper in the wire frames but that's it! I used some vintage Valentine note cards for the banner.  Easiest banner I think I'll ever make!

And remember my printable? It's free! Click here.

Tomorrow's the big day! Hope your prep is almost done if not already!

Happy Thursday!

{Freebie} You Stole My Heart Printable

Well I managed to decorate my mantle for Valentine's Day.  I'm a little sad that I didn't get to do more.  I guess the bright side is, that I didn't nag my husband to put up the Christmas decor.  Yes it is still in my craft room! Actually it's a little depressing! 

Moving on to happier things!

If you haven't noticed, I love printables! Especially ones you can frame and in seconds you have an easy decoration! I realize this may be a little late but I will be enjoying this on my mantle for a good week! Probably longer!

Heart graphic found at The Graphics Fairy.

I'll be sharing my mantle on Thursday!!

Happy Tuesday!

Orange Spice Tea Gift Mix & Free Valentine Gift Tag

Confession time.

I've not hardly made coffee at home since December. It's not because I wanted to cut down, it's because I've had something very yummy to take it's place! I was at my friend Valerie's house in December and she had a hot drink bar....cocoa, chai tea (uh, it's yummy too!) and orange spice tea.  She'd given me some of the orange spice tea before so it was the first thing I went for remembering it being good!

Well I decided to make some for my siblings for Christmas and kept the leftovers and have been enjoying it ever since! 

(I also won some of her chai tea at Bunco in January so who really needs coffee? Ha!)

Well you know me, I gotta share the goodness! And  I thought I'd gussy it up for Valentine's Day with a free printable gift tag! Here's the recipe....

Valerie's Orange Spice Tea Mix

*passed down from her Grandma!

2 cups Tang

1/2 cup instant tea with lemon (no sugar)

2 cups sugar

1 packet Koolaide lemonade

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground clove

Stir together or run through a food processor or blender for a finer powder. 

Pour into you favorite jar to gift and add a tag!

*To make: mix 1 tbsp with 1 cup hot water and enjoy!

(I wrote this on the back of a tag.)

--------------------------------------------

This is just stirred together.  

When I spooned it into the jar it automatically layered somewhat! 

Since this mix is orange, I thought it'd be fun to make the tag an orangey color and not do the traditional pink or red. And Lil' Hunkie requested to make cookies on Tuesday night so I saved some back for props! 

And now for the tags! This is my first time making tags to share so they are a little big. 

And here's just a single image...

The lovely teacup graphic came from the awesome Graphics Fairy!

Feel free to re-size these but they are for personal use only.

My Blogiversary is coming up quick...Valentine's Day in fact and I've been collecting things for a giveaway and yep, adding a jar of mix to the pile! So stayed tuned!!

Happy Thursday lovelies!
