Valentine Scrapbook Page and Window Mistreatment


I hardly ever do one-page layouts because I take so many pictures that I can't just pick out one for a layout, but this is a picture that I had made this past weekend for Valentine's Day presents for everyone. I've had the paper, the scalloped heart paper, and the glitter hearts for a while. The Valentine tickets are a free download and can be found here. They are so cute and would look good on a scrapbook page or card. I have been in the creative mood for the past few days and have gotten a lot done. I have done some other scrapbook pages too. I just started printing pictures that were on my camera card and went from there.



I found all these great blogs on decorating on a budget or with very little money at all. Everyone can use those types of tips, right? I know I can. I have a lot of material that I've bought to put curtains or valances up and also bought patterns to use to make these beautiful curtains. Have I done it? NO!! None of my windows have had curtains until now. I started in Grayson's playroom with a red gingham print and added white ball fringe. I put them up with upholstery tacks and used some clips I had and then hot glued some covered buttons on the clips that I had covered in black gingham. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Anyway, here is a pic of the window in the playroom that I've gotten done so far. I didn't get enough ball fringe. I only got the one window done. I've got three more to go. Check out The Nesting Place for window mistreatments. This is where I got the idea. I also did some in my dining room with a toile print I found at Hancock's for $4 a yard. It was a steal. Hancock's also had fringe 40% off, so I'm headed back for more. I will have to upload the dining room ones tomorrow.
