I can't believe we are halfway done with January. I still can't believe that it's 2010 and because I keep on coming back to pictures from past years (to work on for scrapbook pages) I get my years confused.
Anyways, today I thought of sharing my Valentine homemade decorations. Most of these were made a long time ago with the exception of the last one.
This one I made one night when I was looking at my lace and figuring out what I'll do with it. It took me a couple of hours to do this. The only reason why it took so long is because (a) I had to figure out how to make the perfect heart from one sheet of 12x12 cardstock and (b) I had to hand sew the red thread all around the heart.
I made this cause I wanted to try the trend of "inchies". It's to make art that fits in one inch of space. Of course 1 inch is too small so my hearts are two inches. This is a great project to use your scraps with.
This one was inspired by a project I saw at a Martha Stewart magazine. Of course her's is way prettier but this one works ok for me.
I was able to work with Grafix Arts company this winter. They asked me to make some projects for them for CHA. They sent me a lot of products and I used the leftovers to make this.
They have a great assortment of papers products. They also offer chipboard and shrinky dink. Remember those? Yep they are making a comeback in the craft industry. Love em!
and now for the announcement of giveaway winners....

Non-scrappy inspiration? I usually head over to HGTV and cruise the gallery at rate my space. I also love jumping on flickr and seeing what others have put up. Cruising google images is a great way to find some great stuff too! I hope you share what it is that gets you inspired!
I would love either...a girl can never have to much product, but your projects ROCK!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you all for playing along and all the shares of inspiration totally got me pumped up!
till next time,
Grace
