Happy Valentines Day Everyone

Here is our song!

Two Valentine Tutorials of sorts

I like to give little gifts at Valentines Day... something sweet for my hubby of course and something little for all the kids in my life. 

Money is tight for everyone and I am a firm believer that it is not the monetary value but the thought that makes the value. 

So I headed to the dollar tree and purchased a travel mug and then on my computer I printed the background and the image on regular computer paper

The measurement is 4.5" by 8.75 and print in landscape

 

Then I filled the cup with shred and candy and added a bow

 

  

That's all... easy and sweet

The next thing I made was a cherry coke float 

Again the dollar tree to the rescue for most of this project

(I am glad my hubby does not read my blog because this is for him ~ dad)

I started with a Coke Float glass from the Dollar Tree and filled the bottom with peanut m&m's and some cherry and peanut butter wrapped chocolates

 

I then added a foam floral disk for planters from the dollar tree to the top of the glass and secured it with double sided tape also purchased at the dollar tree

 

If you can see the tape on the one I placed it all around the disk

I then stuck in two pixie sticks for straws

 

I then just stuck cherry kisses and almond kisses all over the top... they really stick great!

Then to make the cherry foam... I just added some paper fill (dollar tree) in all the nooks and crannies

 

And here it is... 

 

And here it is again

I love you heart...

 I had purchased these 1985ish  blocks a while back for 99cents and then never did anything with them until now

(tomorrow I will show you the small one)

 

I took the larger one and decided to cover it in my favorite kind of paper PLAID!

I just covered the entire heart with tacky glue

and then pressed on the paper

 

cut out the heart shape and added some ribbon

around the sides and a little bow on top

I then added a cutout piece of vinyl that I made from dollar tree adhesives

I decided it needed something more so I added 4 tiny vintage buttons

And here it is all done... and ready for it's big day on the 14th!

I think it turned out so cute and I can change the message any time I want!

I am linking up Tuesday with these gals for some fun partying!
