Love is in the air.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone, technically its the 15th now that its after midnight but let's not get specific.  What did you spend your day doing?  I saw The Vow which was really good, very different from what I expected but nonetheless a good way to spend two hours.

Its late so I'll leave you with a little Valentines love!  Hope you had a fabulous day, see you tomorrow!

Dancing in the park does it get anymore romantic?

One last thing to leave you with.  This was a campaign I learned a great deal about in college, in my opinion, one of the most amazing ad campaigns ever created.  I think you'll like it!

valentine's day cards continued...

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I have put the finishing touches are my homemade Valentines Day cards.  I think they are really cute and will bring out a smile to the receivers. I just hope they actually make it on time!

I showed you how to start the cards here, this is how to finish them.

Take the two pieces of paper that you glued together and fold it accordion style to fit the size of the pictures you had printed.

Then take all of your pictures and put borders around them.

I cut mine out in a  bubble pattern.

Then glue them in order to the accordion folds.  As so...

And here is the finished project.  Such a cute and easy project!

I found the original idea from here.  Oooo Martha what good ideas you have!  What are you sending your Valentine this year?

craft love.

Tonight I did a little crafting for Valentines Day.  So if you looking for a cute something to send to your Valentine this year, look no further!

I only have the start of the project because the lovely Walgreens near my apartment decided to close at 10pm tonight thus my pictures were not developed...mehhh!  Its a DIY Valentines Day card that can be customized no matter what your looking to do.

You will need:
Construction paper
3 Pieces of poster board (or more depending on your saying, ours was "I LOVE YOU")
Glue Sticks
Scissors
Doilies
Camera

For the Card itself you need to glue two pieces together of construction paper end to end

To start use the construction paper to cover some poster board...cut out some letters for whatever you want your pieces of poster board to say...

Then piece it all together...

We cut out hearts from the paper and dollies, free-hand cut out all the letters and then arranged everything to our heart's desire.

And here is the first stage of the final product...

My roommate Audrey's I

My I, do you like our creepy eyes?

Our LOVE...

And YOU...

Once you finish your boards take pictures of yourself holding them.  The point is to cover up your face for the first two, however we improvised with the first one.  Out eyes sticking out on board 'I' was too funny not to do!  Then on the last one, you reveal your identity thus the receiver finds out who send them the card.

I will be back on Monday with the finished result, Walgreens prevented us from finishing them tonight...shame on you Walgreens, what happened to 24 hours?

roses are red, violets are blue...

Valentines is just around the corner, how excited are you?!?

I've always loved Valentines day, single, in a relationship, doesn't matter, if its a reason to go out and have fun with your significant other lover or a good friend I think its a awesome holiday.

This year my good friend and I will be having dinner then going to see The Vow.  I am so excited.  One of my favorite things to do when browsing the internet is watch movie trailers that have just come out.  I actually saw The Vow trailer back in, ooo I don't know, October?!?!  So I have been waiting quite some time to see the movie itself.

Anyways if you are a fellow movie/movie trailer lover the best place I have found to watch these is surprisingly Apple, who would have thought!

Anyways back to the whole point of this post, Valentines Day!

What to wear?  I found some great inspiration pictures and wanted to share with all of you.

I love this, great outfit that can easily go from work to play, and the wide leg trousers that are everywhere right now in bright colors work well with a lot of different looks.  Love them!

Something a little more classic, great combination of leopard and red.  Perfect date night Valentines Day outfit.

A little sassiness to a pair of plain flats.

I've actually never even had a macaroon but they always look so delicious.  Perfect reason to try one for the first time.

I will most likely be wearing these...

Along with this...

And then probably a black sheer blouse under it all with some of my favorite jewelry.

What are you wearing for Valentines Day?  And is anyone else obsessed with movie trailers like I am?
