Now that we are in the month of January my thoughts turn to ‘Valentines Day’.
A day set aside for us to show the ones we love just how much we appreciate them.
I love Valentines Day. . .One might say, I’ve got heart!
So of course, the crafting has begun!
Thanks to Pinterest there are plenty of ideas to draw from.
So, I’m opening up my heart(s) to you.
Heart #1 is an ornament wreath heart. I had been collecting ornaments to make a Christmas wreath when I saw a heart one on my inspiration board. I needed more pinks so my friend, Joyce and I hit the after Christmas sales.
One of my Valentines displays will have pops of aqua so I threw some of my vintage aqua ornaments in amongst the pinks, silvers, and whites.
A dusting of silver glitter spray gives the newer ornaments a vintage feel.
You can’t go wrong with a dotted Swiss pink bow.
I hung it on my chippy white door for a photo, not sure where it will end up. Notice my little red shelf is empty. How could that be? lol!
Here was my inspiration from Pinterest. She gives a great tutorial so I’m just giving you the link. In case you want to make one.

Heart #2 is a framed cork heart.
I picked up a bag of corks a while back at a discount store. My Pinterest inspiration had painted the corks in various shades of pinks and reds. I thought it would be fun to glitter them. I just painted the top with Modge Podge and sprinkled with glitter. I let them dry well then covered a piece of cardboard to fit my frame with burlap and hot glued them on.
Oh how this baby shines!
The writing on the sides of the corks give it a Frenchy feel.
I didn’t have a lot of corks so my heart is a tall thin primitive heart. The kind of heart I love!
And here is my inspiration .
How about you? Do you have heart?

hugs,
Jann

Gorgeous wreaths...I'm headed over to your Pinterest boards to see more! Hugs, Penny
I do have heart....just not out yet!! Another week or so! Love both of your creations.
I have heart...we got married on Valentine's and this year will be our 26th. However, I've never decorated for Valentine's. I'll just enjoy yours. :)
The cork on is A-dorable. Love it.
I love pulling out my pink Christmas balls for Valentine's day.
Hi Jann,

I love them both Jann! Maybe the ornament one a little more!
Lovely hearts. I love Valentines Day, will probably make homemade heart cut out cookies.
They are both darling - love all the glitz and glimmer. We're still Christmas-ing here at The Old Parsonage:)
Next week we'll feel the LOVE!

Jann, you are really getting a jump on Valentine's Day. How smart you are. Your wreath and cork board are so pretty!
Love your heart ornament! So pretty!
Jann, your heart wreath and cork heart are both fun pieces. Yes, I have heart too. I adore Valentine's Day and spotlight the hearts around here. Haven't created my vignettes as yet, but they are being planned as I type. '-)
Happy Hearts to you!
Both of you Valentine's Day crafts are stunning Jan I love the soft romantic colors of your wreath better than your inspiration! Pinning!
I love both of your heart projects, The wreath is adorable...Of course I like the corks too. I don't have a Valentines door hanger yet...Hum, I have to see what I have in pink ornaments!!

If I had enough shiny brites left, I would be making a Valentine wreath, it's really pretty!
You are amazing! Do you even slow down a little bit? Bless your little heart for making such pretty things!
Gorgeous wreaths!!
I just looooooooove all the pink shades
Absolutely beautiful :)
I love your hearts! I would have a mess if I tried to make the vintage ornament ball one, but that glittered cork one I can probably do! Happy New Year!

Jann, I love both the wreath and the framed heart!! They turned out great! :)
Susan
Both hearts are gorgeous, Jann! I need to make something to add some color now that my Christmas stuff has been packed away.
Hi Jann,
Oh my the heart ornament wreath is stunning! I am going to have to break down soon and make one of these! I should have gone shopping too and purchased more ornaments but hate the crowds.
I do like the addition of glitter to the corks, it makes it that much more special.
Hugs, Lynnie
So pretty! I don't know which heart I like better!
Jann, I just love your hearts! They're both really pretty. But the pink and teal ornaments are definitely awesome!
Love this idea and your pretty version.
I am so happy you were inspired! Many Thanks! Amanda
Your wreath looks great!
Happy Monday, Jann! I love your creations, especially the heart wreath! Very pretty! Thanks for sharing at my HOME and have a fabulous week, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
