My Valentines


Here is my attempt at the picture frame plates that I saw in my magazine the other day. You may remember this from my post the other day. I had some other pictures of niece's babies that I was gonna use but I didn't seem to have the right sizes. I found the plain white heart plates at TJ Maxx. I think the total of all three was about $10. I took my Bailey's picture and his doggie friend, Laddie, and cut them out to fit the plates and just taped them on with double-faced tape. I found some rub on transfers in my craft stuff and rubbed on the "Best Friends" and the hearts. I tried weaving the ribbon completely around the edge of the plate but it covered up a lot of the decorative edge.
I can always change them out to something else if I want a different look. This took no time and was super easy.

Good Evening Nan,
Oh my goodness, those are some beautiful Heart decorations there that you made. You did a wonderful job on decorating them. "THANK YOU" for sharing them with us. I so enjoyed it. I love anything with hearts. I'm not crafty, so I couldn't try anything. LOL. "THANK YOU" my dear friend for the encouraging words you left on my comments the other day. I so appreciate it very much. I am still online, but I am not understanding why tho. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
