Call me crazy , but I do love Mondays. This week is a busy one but I have some fun things planned for you.
I'm starting the week with a quick way to dress up any envelope for valentines day. Two hearts and a little twine make the perfect closure for a fun little surprise. I am filling these with little paper heart garlands for some friends.
I'm also showing you card that I keep in my stash for anytime I need to send a quick thank you or hello, it would make the perfect valentine as well.
Check back tomorrow for some fun gift wrapping ideas to help you with your Valentines gift giving.

XO, Amy

I love chevron! Can't seem to get enough these days. I've just framed a piece of my favorite chevron patterned paper in my favorite color and because I love hearts I just folded and glued a 1/4inch strip of card stock to the glass on the frame. (This is a great tip because you can easily pull it off if you get sick of the heart and you haven't ruined your paper underneath) It adds the perfect pop of color to my space.


















Sometimes I truly drive myself crazy! I have spent hours decorating and redecorating my studio. To still feel that it isn't just right.... Recently I have tried to really figure out what was bugging me about it all. After stepping back for a bit I decided it was just too much stuff!! My goal this year is to really minimize my stuff... Over the years I have collected so many A's in diff. sizes and colors and it just felt cluttered. So recently I decided to spray paint my favorite one's all White. I do love it. It just feels more inspiring and less cluttered.

Enjoy your Monday!

Sometimes you need a project that brings a lot of satisfaction without a lot of work. This frame full of hearts is that project! So easy. So rewarding.You've seen these before... but this is my version. These are some of my favorite papers and it was a fun way to use up those scraps. I added a little stamping as well to personalize it a little more. I hope you are inspired to make one too. Enjoy

My oh my, I am seriously in love with hearts! If you don't like hearts than look away for the next few weeks because I've got some ideas and I will be sharing....
This card was the leftover piece from making my heart banner. I added a itty bitty banner with scraps of dsp and a little crochet thread. Add any greeting and you have a little love on a card!

It will make you happy!

If you're on pinterest you will feel Valentines in the air.  I had to jump on board and make a card using  a new favorite stamp set from Stampin'Up!'s new mini catalog and if you love hearts, you will want to add the heart die to your list too. I used some ledger paper from an old book and pulled out the typewriter to add the greeting. It was so fun to type again:)
With love- Amy

I have this thing for Apothecary jars. I can't resist them. I need to stop! I love using them to display paper flowers. Everytime I sit down to create this is my view. Tomorrow I will share the tutorial on how to make some of these flowers. They are so fun and perfect addition to any space.
