Heart Art

I do realize that tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so this is about as close as I come to a "themed" post. This was my very first foray into the DIY/crafting world and as with almost all projects here, I had my "helpers" with me. I wanted to create some art for the loft, bringing in yellow and navy, since those were the scrapbook papers my daughter chose (I couldn't find a way to incorporate my son's choice of a ribbed orange card stock, it was just too much).

I drew inspiration from Young House Love's butterfly project (here), which came from Little Green Notebook's project (here) and an awesome Etsy store (Sarah&Bendrix), featured on Secrets from a Stylist with Emily Henderson (here).

The shadow boxes, scrap booking paper and heart punch are all from Michael's.

Just punch out as many hearts as you'd like, fold in half to give dimension, then glue on the background. I did mine in a grid, just eyeballing the spacing, but you can measure and mark if you're that type of person:)
