First, I made the multi-colored heart garlands from the previous post. I love them! I wish I had a daughter so I could hang them in her room all year round.
Last year I decided to made a red and white meal a tradition. This year I decided that we needed some fun place mats to go with our fun meal. Using this tutorial, I made ten of these cuties.
We decided to have some friends over to share in our tradition. Since we were eating lots of stain-causing foods, I didn't want the place mats to get all stained and ruined by the kids. Using the same templates for the cloth place mats, I made these ones out of scrap book paper. I then covered them with contact paper so that we can use them again in the future. I love how they turned out.
After going to a craft day at a friend's house and watching my friend make her own cards, I attempted my own version (our original inspiration came from craft gawker, but I can't find the post). I gave one to my husband for Valentine's Day and sent the other two to my grandmas. I even made my own envelopes using some cute scrapbook paper (with the design on the inside).
At the same craft day, I made this felt flower hair clip (tutorial found here). I love having crafty friends!
