Valentine's Day Garland

Yesterday I shared with you a snippet of what I worked on last weekend. I was inspired to add a little love to the garland on my fireplace mantle. I like to leave the pines up all winter, but wanted to spruce it up for February :)

So I sat down with all my heart punches and the You Plus Me stamp set to see what I could come up with. Soon Declan saw me crafting and HAD to be a part of it. He became the snail operator :)

And what would craft time be without my girly to help out too! Of course she saw me taking pictures and wanted to help with that part. Here are the close-ups of her ponies…

She actually took a couple decent ones of my craft stuff too. For instance, have you seen these adorable little hearts yet (they've been popping up all over pinterest). To get them you punch with the heart border punch, and then from the remaining paper punch the small heart out around the hole. Cool huh?

After sticking everything together, here is what I came up with. I'm loving it!

And here is the whole thing (click the picture to zoom).

Flutterby again soon!
