How to Make a Heart Wreath

I love this little heart wreath! 

The different shades of pink and red bring out each individual heart.

On this post, I have included two different Heart Wreaths that you can make yourself,
thanks to Better Homes & Gardens and Everything Etsy.

The first one I'd like to share with you is this Paper Heart Wreath.

{via}

To make this wreath follow the link or:

Get several shades of pink and red paper.

-Scissors

-Glue

-1 Cardboard or heavy stock paper

-Heart shaped template (ex: heart shaped cookie cutters)

-Circle template--you may use a paper plate

Trace paper plate over card stock or cardboard.

For the inner circle, use a smaller plate or large can/ jar whatever you have on hand,

trace the inner circle.

 Once traced, cut the circle carefully.

Using a heart template, cut several hearts in different sizes.

Glue them around the circle,

To add interest, overlap several hearts.

Continue to glue hearts until the card board is completely covered.

Let dry and hang to your heart's content!

Here is the second wreath, a beautiful heart shaped wreath by Everything Etsy.

Kim used felt to make this wreath.
You may use the same method as I used here by placing the felt
on a heart shaped foam.
Find her step by step tutorial here with great photos.
Enjoy &
Happy Crafting!

A Moment of Reflection

"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind 

and straining toward what is ahead, 

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which

God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus"

Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

"Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;

guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior,

and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, O LORD,

your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;

according to your love remember me, for you are good,

O LORD."

-Psalm 25:4-7

Happy New Year 2012!

Hello friends and Happy and Blessed New Year!

Today I took a brief moment to post a few photos from my trip to 

Gran Ventana, DR and to wish you a blessed Year.

That's me up there with the floral dress & my sister on our first day at the beach.

Unfortunately, I didn't take my good camera, what was I thinking?

 I tried my best to work with what I had and believe me, that little camera,

was not cooperative at all.

I loved the colors surrounding this little play ground 

situated behind the hotel, right off the beach.

It was surrounded by palm trees and almond trees.

Honestly, the pictures do NO justice. 

I wish I could have taken you with me.

Here's to a New Year filled with much love, 

joy, peace, health, creativity, inspiration and many 

blessings!

Thank you my dear friends for coming over and sticking with me.

I am forever grateful & love you!
