Valentine's Day Banner

I spent some time in my craft room this weekend, after bringing my hubby home Saturday from the hospital.  He had a plate and seven pins put in his leg to hold his tibia together - sounds fun, right?  Yea.  :)

So, after spending all day and night Friday in the hospital with him, and most of the day Saturday, I was ready to be home and de-stress with some crafting.  That always makes me happy!

I decided to start decorating for Valentine's Day, so I made a cute little banner.  Here's how:

I cut 2 patterns of cardstock into 4" x 6" strips, then made triangles.

Then I cut these 2 patterns of cardstock into 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" strips, then made triangles.

I laid them out and layered the triangles.

I used red glitter cardstock to cut out X's and O's and a heart.

I used glue dots to attach the X's and O's to the layered triangles.

I used decorative elements - pink and white rhinestones and a fabric brad.

Finally I strung pink ribbon through each piece and hung it on the wall!

It looks cute hanging over the picture from our wedding :)

I didn't stop there.  You might have seen this awesome idea floating around Pinterest from Eighteen25, so I made it, too:

Aren't they cute?  Four years of Christmas cards are now in these beautiful little books.

I felt so much better after spending time crafting.  (Don't worry, I took good care of the hubs, too.)  My craft room is my happy place, so I'm officially happy now!
